Hyderabad: Soil Testing commences for Airport Metro
Hyderabad, March 27 (Maxim News) After fixing the alignment and completion of peg marking for the Airport Metro project, soil testing has been commenced for determining the soil bearing capacity, stated Hyderabad Airport Metro Ltd (HAML) MD, Mr. NVS Reddy.
He has announced that soil testing will be done for about 2 months for 100 Metro pillar locations starting from IKEA and going up to Shamshabad International Airport. Soil testing will be done by taking borehole soil samples up to a depth of about 40 ft. from the road surface at each location. Soil bearing capacity will be determined through both in-situ tests and lab tests of the soil samples.
Indicating that a detailed soil investigation is required for the design of foundations, Mr. NVS Reddy has stated that the results will also determine other aspects like the type of foundation i.e., open foundation or pile foundation, required depth of the foundation, allowable bearing pressure, etc. Further, these results will also guide the bidders to assess their competitive rates, as it would give them a fair idea about the soil conditions.
The soil testing exercise which will be completed in two months is a parallel process to the tender preparation and other pre-construction activities and it is being supervised by the HAML engineering team led by Chief Project Manager Mr. B.Anand Mohan and Superintendent Engineer Mr. Y. Sayapa Reddy.
All precautions including proper barricading of the soil investigation locations, information about the presence of underground utilities, traffic management, etc., are being coordinated with the utility departments and Traffic Police, added Mr. NVS Reddy. (Maxim News)
