Tenders floated for grouting work in underground tunnels
Just six months after the opening of the phase I extension project of the Metro Rail, the tunnels on the underground stretch have already begun witnessing leakages. The phase I extension project was constructed at a cost of ₹3,770 crore over a stretch of 9 km between Washermenpet and Wimco Nagar. While the Washermenpet to Tondiarpet stretch has been built underground, the rest of it is elevated. According to sources in Chennai Metro Rail Limited (CMRL), groundwater has been seeping into the tunnels of the underground stretch. To curtail this, grouting will be done again.More Related News
