- ️Tue Apr 28 2020
Rail Vikas Nigam Limited (RVNL) on April 24 invited bids for the civil construction and supply of machinery for Joka Depot on Kolkata Metro’s 15.215 km Line-3 connecting Joka – Majerhat – Esplanade.
Construction on Kolkata’s Line-3’s southern elevated part has been underway since 2011 by Simplex Infrastructures for 2 packages (4.748 km Joka – Behala and 4.762 km Behala – Mominpur), but the 24.48 hectares land parcel required for the depot and its approach-line had been severely encroached by huts, temporary structures and commercial units.
Joka Depot will consist of 12 stabling lines with a provision to build an additional 11 lines in the future, 2 inspection bays (2 x 220m x 27m, 8 Nos lines), 2 lifting bays (220m x 20m), 2 workshop bays (220m x 25m), one bogie shop (22m x 17m), a turn-table and a 60m x 8m automatic coach washing plant.
Scope: Construction of PEB sheds, structures, buildings, P-way and utilities, general electrical works and supply, installation and commissioning of machinery and plant for setting up of Metro Car Depot at Joka in connection with Joka-Esplanade Metro Project in Kolkata, West Bengal, India.
