  Planning and Designing of Underground Metro Rail Project in Pune, India

  The metro rail system introduced in major Indian cities in recent years has resulted in significant improvements in the country’s transportation infrastructure and intra-city connectivity. Rail-based ‘Mass Rapid Transit System’ has been widely accepted as a solution for most of the traffic and environmental pollution related problems which major cities throughout the world are facing now. Pune underground Metro will cover about 6 Km underground twin tunnel and five Underground stations. The main challenges during construction are TBM/NATM tunnelling & Station excavation through shallow water table, presence of old and historical buildings, settlement & vibrations due to blasting for NATM tunnel etc. This paper discusses about various parameters considered for planning and designing of the tunnel and underground stations.
