1. Introduction of METRO RAIL in INDIA
Rapid transits in India consist of Metro, Monorails and light rail system
How it Began
India’s 1st and Asia’s 5th Metro rail was introduced in Kolkata in 1984
Delhi Metro was India's first modern metro which began its operation in 2002.
Rapid Metro Rail Gurgaon, which started operations in November 2013, is India's first privately owned & operated metro.

2. Why is it Needed ?
Unprecedented growth of personal Vehicle
Growing Traffic Congestion
Air pollution and traffic accidents has become a major concern
To avoid congestion at Peak hour
Time saving and Reduced fuel consumption

25. SCHEME FOR AUTO-LAUNCHING
FOR SPANs UPTO 37m Span

26. Step:1 Erect all the segments of the span and do final pre-stressing as per specification in drawing.

27. Step:2 Ensure that erection of all span is completed in all aspects. Release all suspenders from erected span and lower the span
on temporary bearing placed on pier cap.

28. Step:3 Bring all the sliders to the rear end.

29. Step:4 Release the middle support from the span and with the help of slider beam shift the middle support nearer to the front
support on segment S1 as shown in drawing.

30. Step:5 Activate the jacks of middle support on segment S1 and anchor with the span.

31. Step:6 Release the Rear support from the span and with the help of slider beam shift the rear support to the erected span of
segment S1.

32. Step:7 Activate the jacks of rear support on segment S1 and anchor with the span.

33. Step:8 Now move both the sliders back to the rear trolley.

34. Step:9 Ensure that middle and rear support are firmly anchored with the span. Now close the telescopic leg of front support so
that all load transferred to the middle and rear support.

35. Step:10 Ensure all the supports firmly anchored with the span and make sure that rear trolley free from anchorage from the
span.

36. Step:11 Ensure that all supports firmly anchored with super structure. Start Auto-launching and auto launch the launching
girder by 1200mm. Check that all supports are firmly anchored or not.

37. Step:12 Now again start auto launching until rear trolley come nearer to the rear support.

38. Step:13 With the help of slider beam move rear support near to the middle support and anchored it with the span.

39. Step:14 Continue auto-launching till front support reaches next pier cap location..

40. Step:15 Open the telescopic leg of front support and activate it. Anchor firmly with pier cap.

42. Step: 1 Make sure that launching Girder is ready for erection of new span and lifting of segments. Now move the sliding
towards the next span to be erected near front support as shown.

43. Step:2 Move the trailer below the lifting hoist.

44. Step:3 Pull down the lifting beam.

45. Step:4 Fix the lifting beam and temporary pre-stressing beam on segment S1. Now lift the pier segment S1 with the help of
lifting hoist. Now move the slider in position to lift the S1 segment.

46. Step:5 Connect the S1 with the slider beam and move it nearer to the middle support.

47. Step:7 Move S2 nearer to the segment S1.

48. Step:8 Move S3 nearer to the segment S2.

49. Step:9 Move S4 nearer to the segment S3.

50. Step:10 Move S5 nearer to the segment S4.

51. Step:11 Move S6 nearer to the segment S5.

52. Step:11 Move S7 nearer to the segment S6.

53. Step:11 Move all the sliders towards Segment S7.

54. Step:11 Move all the sliders towards Segment S7.

55. Step:11 Now lift the segment S3 upwards then other segments for adjustment of all the segments in fixed length.

56. Step:11 Now lift the segment S3 upwards then other segments for adjustment of all the segments for dry matching.

57. Step:11 Now move remaining sliders towards segment S3.

58. Step:11 Now move remaining sliders towards segment S3.

59. Step: Lift the segment S5 and move it near the segment S6.Now same do same procedure for segment S4.

60. Step:17 Now do dry/wet matching and temporary pre-stressing and follow the procedure for final pre-stressing as per
specification given in drawing.
