Mumbai: The Mumbai Metro Rail Corporation Ltd (MMRCL) undertaking the Colaba-Bandra-SEEPZ (Metro 3) construction has claimed that no waterlogging will be caused due to the on-going work in monsoon. Same as previous year, this time too proper monsoon planning has been done. According to the MMRCL, sufficient number of dewatering pumps of adequate capacity (medium to large capacity pump 3hp – 35hp) are installed at various station and tunnel shaft metro sites to prevent waterlogging.
It also ensured that a proper coordinate with other utility agencies will be carried out to maintain electric power and communication system intact during monsoon. The muck generated from the work will be transported in watertight dumpers to avoid spillage on roads. Besides this, for smooth traffic movement, measures such as repainting of diversion signages to enhance visibility of barricades has already been undertaken and the work will be complete by May 31.
To control mosquito breeding at construction sites preventive measures have been adopted by the MMRCL. Also an emergency response team comprising of two engineers and one supervisor will be deployed 24×7 at each site under the supervision of senior engineer to monitor day to day monsoon related issues. Moreover to address monsoon related grievances, a control room will be set-up with 24×7 helpline number by the Metro 3 authority.
