DMRC Tunnel

Where is the first underground DMRC Delhi Metro tunnel build? Please give me the complete details about the DMRC Delhi Metro tunnel? Please tell me about the upcoming tunnel project of the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation Limited also.

Can you tell me about the exact location for Tunnel Boring Machines (TBMs) engaged in construction for Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC)?

[pawan]

A total of 19 Tunnel Boring Machines (TBMs) are simultaneously engaged in constructing Metro tunnels across the length and breadth of the national capital, Delhi, today, thus emerging as one of the largest tunnelling projects ever undertaken below any major urban centre globally.

Approximately, 35 TBMs are to be used for assignment during the entire third phase and about 21.kilometres of tunnels and 33 tunnelling drives have already been completed so far.

The use of 19 TBMs simultaneously within the confines of one city is probably among the highest used anywhere in the world. In Phase 2, Delhi Metro had used a total of 14 TBMs during the entire span of work.

For the current phase, so many TBMs are being used because the quantum of underground construction has increased significantly in comparison to the last two phases.

While, Delhi Metro currently has an operational underground section of approximately 47 kilometres, phase 3 will alone have over 37 kilometres of underground Metro lines.
