Day by day the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) putting it’s footprint all over Delhi. DMRC in it’s latest journey has achieved an engineering milestone in the Metro Phase-IV Magenta Line Extension (Janakpuri West – R.K. Ashram Marg) corridor by completing the construction of the highest ever point on the Delhi Metro network near Haiderpur Badli Mor Metro station.
A 490-metre section near the Outer Ring Road crosses over Haiderpur Badli Mor Metro station of Yellow Line (Samaypur Badli – Millennium City Centre Gurugram) at an impressive rail level height of 28.362 meters at Pier no. 340, making it now the highest point in the DMRC network. This surpasses the previous record of 23.6 meters held by the Phase-III Pink Line at Dhaula Kuan.
Key construction tasks, such as setting up structural reinforcements, casting piers, and installing pre-fabricated components, required careful planning. A crucial part of the project involved building a steel span over the existing operational Yellow Line. To ensure safety and prevent service disruptions, engineers executed the work in a phased manner. The pier was constructed in three stages, with safety measures in place to protect workers and maintain stability. Since space was restricted, an alternative support system using Macalloy bars was designed instead of traditional ground-based support.
The Mangeta line recently launched the extension one Stop from Janakpuri to Krishna Park. And the M-Line extension is in the offing for full stretch operation.
