The Construction of above line from Km 30 to Km 120 between Katra – Laole shall be undertaken by Konkan Railway Corporation Ltd. , which includes construction of number of major bridges and series of tunnels. The entire line has to be completed in the tight target period. For the purpose of convenience and easy handling the construction of major bridges will be grouped into number of packages.

Salient features of the proposed bridges will be :

 

1.                  All these bridges will be of Pre-stressed concrete/RCC/steel Girders.

 

2.                  There will be repetition of standard spans – 3 or 4 standard spans will be chosen.

 

3.                  The foundations can be that of piles – quick boring piles or micropiles coupled with concepts of well piles. Foundations can also be stabilised for the variable geological conditions.

 

4.                  Since it is a Earthquake prone zone, all structures have to be designed for earthquake resistance.

 

5.                  Method of construction will also be standardized.

 

6.                  Slipform construction for all piers will be a MUST.
