Rail Bridge, Between Windmill Bedi Port Stations

Location: Jamnagar to Bedi Port Client: Western Railway / GRIDE

Casad Services: New Railway Line Establishment, Bridge Construction

---

Project Overview This project involved the establishment of a new railway line from Jamnagar to Bedi Port, a crucial infrastructure development with a project cost of 62.00 Crore. Spearheaded by Western Railway and GRIDE, this initiative aims to enhance rail connectivity to the port, facilitating efficient goods movement and boosting regional trade. The project includes the construction of essential rail bridges designed to support broad gauge tracks and integrate seamlessly with the new railway corridor.

Casad's Scope of Work Casad likely played a key role in the detailed design and engineering aspects of this critical rail bridge project.

• Rail Bridge Design: Expertise in the structural design of PSC Slab bridges tailored for heavy broad gauge railway traffic, ensuring high load-bearing capacity and durability.

• Substructure Engineering: Design of robust Portal Type piers and pier caps with appropriate open foundations, optimized for the specific site conditions and railway operational demands.

• Track Integration Design: Providing detailed designs for RCC abutments with wing walls, specifically engineered to seamlessly accommodate and carry two broad gauge tracks, ensuring smooth transition and stability.

• Compliance & Safety: Ensuring all designs adhere to stringent railway engineering standards and safety regulations, crucial for reliable and safe train operations.
  

Capabilities in Action This project demonstrates strong capabilities in specialized railway bridge engineering and infrastructure development.

• New Railway Line Integration: Proven experience in designing structures essential for the establishment of new railway lines, including bridges that meet specific track gauge and load requirements.

• PSC Slab Bridge Specialization: Expertise in the efficient and robust design of PSC Slab bridges, ideal for railway applications requiring high strength and low maintenance.

• Railway Foundation & Substructure: Strong capability in designing and implementing specialized foundations and substructures for railway bridges, capable of supporting significant dynamic loads.

• Broad Gauge Track Accommodation: Successfully designing bridge elements that specifically cater to the requirements of broad gauge railway tracks, a critical aspect for Indian railways.
