L&T Metro Rail Hyderabad Limited is importing high strength “head hardened” rails from Tata Corus in France, and has lifted the first lot onto the elevated Metro viaduct in Habsiguda area.
Unlike the Indian Railway tracks, which are laid on ballasted cushion provided by small granite stones, there will be no ballast on the Hyderabad Metro Rail viaduct. Ballast will be spread only in the Metro depots which are at ground level, and the entire 72-km metro track system will be built without ballast. The cushion which the Indian Railway tracks get from ballast is provided by imported elastic plates and pads on Metro tracks. The track parameters are checked by a computerised machine called ‘Track Master,’ said a release.
