The Mumbai-Ahmedabad High Speed Rail Corridor has achieved a major milestone with the completion of 100 kilometres of viaducts. The project marked the achievement following the launch of a 40-metre-long full span box girders and segmental girders.
The Full Span Launching Technique (FSLM) played a pivotal role, making the construction process 10 times faster than conventional Span by Span methods used in metro viaducts.

“The viaducts include bridges spanning six rivers in Gujarat: Par, Purna, Mindhola, Ambika, Auranga and Venganiya. Additionally, the completion of 250 kilometres of pier work underscores the comprehensive advancement of the project,” he said.
