CMRL to incorporate artificial aquifers
...........................................................................................................................
As a move to maintain all the 42 train fleets, CMRL has come up with the idea of storing excessive water at artificial aquifer intending to use it at times of shortage. The CMRL is set to create recharge well.
The Indian Green Building Council (IGBC) has rewarded all the 14 underground metro stations as inclusive of final leg of phase-1 along 45 km stretch with Platinum Rating. This is a certification.
210 Coaches for CMRL phase 2
...........................................................................................................................
In the phase-2 of Chennai Metro Rail project, there are going to be 210 coaches. These trains will be of 3 or 6 coaches running for about 52 km length.
There is quite some noise produced when the metro trains ply underground across the city. To reduce this, the Chennai Metro has come up with plans to do Rail Grinding which is a process to smoothen tracks.
There were many complaints regarding the lack of mobile connectivity and inability to get important data on mobile phones in the underground metro stations in Chennai. This lack of mobile connectivity would not be there in the near future.
If everything goes according to the plans without any delay, then by the year 2026 Chennai Metros phase-2 project would be fully operational for the public. It is well known that this phase-2 would be a huge project.
Metro trains in Chennai have been making lots of news in the recent times. The latest news is in a decade metro rail phase-2 of 118.9 km would be opened. This would connect both the suburbs in the Chennai city.
Back in the year August 2018, the Delhi metro rail officials were put in awe as they noticed residents who walk out of stations travel in droves in just a few hours after the 8.1km stretch called the shoppers.
Wondering how the metro stations are likely to get named? Here is your answer: the stations are to be named after the companies that are functional in close proximities. These will generally be big brands or companies.
