Innovations Of Civil Engineering

And Their

Impact On Communities

Civil Engineering brings about unprecedented

developments that impact thousands of lives at

one instance yet at the same time it

safe-guards , alleviates even the smallest of

the communities .

The Mumbai Sea-Link Project

(Case Study – 1)

The Bandra Worli Sea Link Project defied imposing ,

rigorous Open Sea Conditions to create one of the

most phenomenal Cable Stayed Bridges spanning

across the continually transcending , roaring

Arabian Sea convening the entire outreach of the

Mumbai Suburbs to the main nerve-centre and

flourishing business district of the ever effervescent

Metropolis of Mumbai .

The Bandra-Worli Sea Link ;

an unprecedented Assertion of Civil

Technical Innovations used in the for the Duttabad extend

of the Kolkata Metro Expansion Project to advance

construction yet safe-guard the concerns of the community

New-Age Prospected Maximum

Efficiency Affordable Housing Project

But the very ethos of this Project Civil Engineering took the surge ahead to safeguard and protect the thriving hope of the community by exemplifying innovations in the construction plan and putting forward a whole new design for the Duttabad Stretch of the Metro Megastructure . The New Design reduced the Pier requirement from a staggering 13 Piers to just 7 Piers at the same time conforming the stability of the structure so that the Ground Footprint of the Project is phenomenally reduced and consequently protecting the Community lying underneath yet at the same time ensuring the safety standard of the entire Project , without compensating for the stability owing to this Design up-gradation for the concerned segment w.r.t the remaining extents of the elevated Proposition . The Stability of the New Design was affirmed by decreasing the Girder Length , increasing the number of consequent sections and innovative Pier placing with a increased distance between a pair of Pier being increased from 25 m to 90 m in a new aesthetic plan where the relatively smaller sections are supported by Strategically Placed Pier which would account for the stability of the smaller section itself without having to sustain the load of the subsequent structures (adjacent Girder components) .

Prevailing Conventions of Affordable

Housing

Absence of Sanitary-Conditions and

deprivation from Privacy in

under-privileged Communities

Few Instances from Duttabad

ConclusionThe entire project that I got a chance to uplift here transits through an subtle time-line exemplifying

groundbreaking Civil Innovations that We have accomplish in the past , that's currently apprehending achievement and that We can attain to incite class-leading strides in the field of Community apprising Civil Engineering in the approaching future .

The Bandra - Worli Sea Link Project defied imposing , rigorous Open Sea Conditions to create one of the most phenomenal Cable Stayed Bridges convening the entire outreach of the Mumbai Suburbs to the main nerve-centre and flourishing business district of the ever effervescent Metropolis of Mumbai .

It employed the following state-of-the-art innovations -

🔹 Enormous transiting barges comprehending simultaneously with the progressing construction in order to stage up protective barriers against the belligerent Wind Currents of the Arabian Sea furnishing a stable and constant working condition for the On Sea Sections of this Megastructure.

🔹 Its the First Sea Commute Bridge Structure in India to be fortified by Seismic Arresters so as to safe-guard the structure from Over Sea reverberations as well as for Earthquake Protection .

🔹 It stood ahead to constitute a cutting edge Cable Stayed section in the central expanse of the Bridge so as to concur it as Aesthetically Inimitable Project spanning across the Arabian Sea contours of Mumbai .

The execution of the Newly Proposed Metro Construction extent at Duttabad reaffirms to Us unflinchingly that Civil Engineering can bring about unrestrained Development yet at the same time safe-guarding the concerns , grievances and requirements of even the smallest of the Communities .

And the Pre-perceived Affordable Housing Project that I communed in this project stands to emerge beyond the conventions and confer that Civil Engineering can innovate , uplift and progress to sustain , shelter and usher the lives of people and Communities beyond obstacles , beyond barricades till the End of Time because the prospect of progress livened by Civil Engineering Innovations is infinite .
