Replace all the 28 corroded girders by the end of March

 

Re-girdering work on the century-old Pamban rail bridge began on Tuesday with a private company replacing one of the more than 11-year-old corroded girders.

As part of strengthening the rail bridge, India’s first cantilever bridge, the railways has decided to replace 28 highly corroded girders with new ones at a total cost of Rs 3.16 crore.

MR Hi Tech Engineers, which has been awarded the contract, has worked out schedules to replace all the 28 corroded girders by the end of March, working three days a week – Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays.

The company has been given a four-hour window period between 6 a.m. and 10 a.m.
