Asia’s biggest interchange for city Metro
The Hyderabad Metro Rail Limited HMRL, is about to add another feather to its cap
Hyderabad: The Hyderabad Metro Rail Limited (HMRL), is about to add another feather to its cap.
The MGBS interchange metro rail station would be one of the biggest metro rail stations in Asia once completed.
Designed with 58 main pillars and 6 grids, it connects corridor-I (Miyapur-LB Nagar) and corridor-II (JBS-Falaknuma).
While corridor-I station is at lower level (1st & 2nd floor level), corridor-II station is at the upper level (3rd & 4th floor level).
The strength requirement of the main pillars of this gigantic station was so high that the steel reinforcement (rods) had to be made extremely dense and special techniques had to be used to pump specially reinforced cement concrete (RCC) into them during construction, stated MD, HMRL NVS Reddy.
The station has a length of 140 mtrs (460 ft) and width of 45 mtrs (150 ft). The station has got two arms, one arm catering to MGBS bus depot and the other to Chaderghat area across Musi river.
Two big skywalks connect all the platforms of MGBS bus station on one side and the second skywalk connects Chaderghat area.
Chaderghat area skywalk is a long one with a length of 600 ft. With a width of 20 ft, the skywalks have been built very wide keeping the traffic increase over the next few decades in mind, stated NVS Reddy.
The street level on both MGBS side and Chaderghat side is being beautified very aesthetically, with a classic combination of cobble stones, Tandur & Shahbad stones etc., to merge with the “Heritage Precinct” being developed by HMRL in the 5 km stretch between Assembly station and MGBS station via Nampally, MJ Market, Jambagh, Osmania Medical College (OMC), and Rangmahal areas.
The area between OMC and Rangmahal where corridor-II pillars are built as high portal pillars over corridor-I pillars, reflects the extreme engineering skills of L&T.
The whole area will be developed as an international tourist destination with authentic heritage objects, period street furniture, designer pathways, greenery, etc., added NVS Reddy.
