Metro Rail Train– 5km Test Run this Week
All is set ready for the event of a 5km test run of the metro rail train above the 100 feet road between Koyambedu and Ashok Pillar, sources from Chennai Metro Rail Limited (CMRL) says.
Earlier,
the metro rail train has been taken out for the trial from the Koyambedu depot to a
ramp for the course of checking the basic functionalities.
However,
the stretch remains partially due to the termination of the contract between CMRL
and Consolidated Construction consortium Limited (CCCL). Since the existing
contractors like L&T, some were being solicited to furnish the immediate
work for the test run.
Installing
cables, UPS and Air-Conditioners in the signaling rooms are under process. The
initial deadline for the trial run to the line up of Koyambedu and St Thomas
Mount was January.
Because of
its many projects struck, Consortium faces financial losses. In order to help
Consortium to come out of its financial mess, the government was directly paying
the vendors.
CCCL was granted
contracts of worth Rs.300 Crores to design and build stations at Koyambedu,
Arumbakkam, Vadapalani, Ashok Nagar, Sidco, Alandur and St Thomas Mount along
the slither corridor. Since the coaches worn for the metro rail train rush on pre-planned
information, huge trial runs are desired.
