Metro from Noida to Greater Noida West and Sector-142 to Sector-38A Botanical Garden There will be a topography survey of the line. After this the design of the route will be prepared. In this sequence, Noida Metro Rail Corporation (NMRC) has issued a tender for the topography survey of the line from Sector-142 to Botanical Garden.
NMRC officials said that this route will be the link route of Aqua Line Metro running from Sector-51 to Greater Noida Depot.
The topography survey will determine the height, depth, size and location of the ground, based on which the drawing design of the route will be prepared. This test is an important process in metro projects that assess the condition of soil, rock and groundwater to ensure safe and efficient construction of underground or high structure. This provides engineers the required data to design the components of the foundation, tunnel and other infrastructure based on the characteristics of the land. Additionally, the agency will prepare a comprehensive report, giving details of the classification of soil and rock, analyzing the test data and recommending the types of foundation suitable for the proposed elevated corridor.
New route will be 11.56 km long
The report will highlight design calculations, design criteria and functioning and classified various soil levels revealed during the study. The agency will have to complete the field work within 60 days from the date of handing over the work. Permission will be obtained from the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs on this drawing. After getting permission, if the central government also approves the DPR of this route, then NMRC will issue a tender to start its construction. The UP government has already approved the DPR of this route. Officials said the route would be 11.56 km long. After the work starts on this route, it can be completed in about five years.
The old route is 29 km long
The NMRC is currently operating the metro from Sector-51 to Greno Depot on Aqua Line. This route is 29.707 km long. The station is near Sector-52 station of the blue line running between Noida-Delhi. Due to lack of direct connectivity between these two stations, people have to walk from the station and walk 300-400 meters.
