Howrah Metro Station by AFCONS: Redefining India's underground infrastructure along the Ganga River
Introduction
AFCONS – Howrah Metro Station is India’s biggest and deepest underground metro station, located along the Ganga River. The Godrej Interio Design & Build team worked meticulously to execute the Howrah Underground Metro Station, which is situated 33 meters below the Ganga River. This project is considered a precedent for future underground projects in the country. The train trials for the station commenced on 13th April 2023 and are expected to continue for several more months.
Project scope
The civil work included concrete blockwork, granite and tile work for flooring, wall cladding, staircases, coping, wall and floor tiles, and raised access floors. In terms of metal work, the project required SS and GI railings, SS cladding, grating, fire doors, access hatches, louvers, aerofoils, demountable panels, and cornices. It also involved metal ceilings, baffles, and curved carrier ceilings. The glass work included the installation of ticket counter glass, canopy glass, fire glass, and smoke-down glass. The project also required various types of paint such as anti-dust paint, acrylic, weather-coat, and texture finishes, along with the installation of terracotta tiles.
Challenges
As the largest and deepest underground project in India, the Howrah Metro Station faced several challenges. These included the difficulty of material movement across the vast site area, extremely hot and humid weather conditions underground, and the issue of water seepage. Additionally, the project faced disruptions due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which impacted timelines and logistics.
Execution
The Godrej Interio team was able to execute the project with zero incidents. The team successfully adhered to the client’s timelines while ensuring quality and safety standards were maintained throughout the project. The meticulous execution and strategic planning ensured that the project was completed efficiently, overcoming the tough conditions.
Impact
The completion of the Howrah Underground Metro Station represents a significant milestone in India’s infrastructure development. The project sets a new benchmark for future underground metro stations in the country, demonstrating the ability to execute complex engineering projects under challenging conditions. It showcases not only the scale of the project but also the expertise required to handle such intricate tasks.
