The Lucknow Metro is an under-construction rapid transit system in Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, aimed at providing speedy mass transport to reduce traffic congestion. The project, managed by Lucknow Metro Rail Corporation, consists of two corridors and is expected to cost ₹12,500 crore, with the first phase operational by 2018. It includes eight elevated stations and various construction details such as U-girders, I-girders, and batching plants necessary for concrete production.

2. ABOUT METRO
• Lucknow being the metro city in Uttar Pradesh and the largest city of north and central India after Delhi and has
urban population about more than 5 million in 2015. The government decided to build a metro rail system in the
state capital.
• The Lucknow Metro is an under construction rapid transit system in the city of Lucknow, India. Construction on
the first phase began on 27 September 2014.
• Lucknow Metro Rail Corporation Limited or LMRC is responsible to build and operate this network.
• The metro project will be the most expensive public transport system in the state of Uttar Pradesh, costing
₹12500 crore (US$2 billion) in phase 1 of construction which is expected to be operational in 2018. Phase 2 will
be started in 2018.
• It will provide speedy mass transport and help in reduce traffic congestion on city roads.
• The proposed metro rail network was planned to consist of two corridors: North- South and East-West one from
Amausi to Munshi Pulia and other from Vasant Kunj to Charbagh Railway Station. Both lines will intersect at
Charbagh.
• The difference between arrival time of trains at each station is expected to be 7 minutes. This would be reduced
to 5 minutes and then to 3 minutes in phases.The work would be finished by 2018 of first phase

3. • Under construction Project:- 8.4 km (Amausi to Charbagh)
• Stations b/w transport nagar to charbagh:- 8 station

LUCKNOW METRO
 There are eight Elevated station from KD
Singh Babu Stadium to Munshipulia crossing
in Indiranagar.
 This stretch is a part of North- South, Phase 1A
metro corridor extending from Chaudhary
Charan Singh Airport to Munshipulia (around
23 kms).
 The cost of building this viaduct along with
elevated stations including special spans on
North-south Corridor, Phase 1A of Lucknow
Metro is Rs 675, 33, 48, 424 (Rupees Six
Hundred Seventy Five Crores, Thirty Three
Lakhs, Forty Eight Thousand, Four Hundred and

11. WHAT IS
CASTING
YARD ??

12. Casting yard is a confined place where all the concrete structures like U
GIRDER, I GIRDER, PIER CAP, etc. are to be casted /manufactured and shifted to
their stack yard cured for the specific period and then shifting to the work site after
they gain their required strength.

13. LAYOUT OF
CASTING YARD

14. REQUIREMENT OF CASTINGYARD

16. U GIRDER
•U-girder is a monolithic casted member.
•This is a specially designed U shaped Girder which basically provides a track for the running of
Metro Train . Design is maintained in a such a shape so as to provide an Aesthetic attractiveness
, Flexible shape to modify.

18. JACKS
•Jacks are used to apply tensionto
the tendons.
•Hydraulic jacks are commonly used
•These jacks work on oil pressure
generated by a pump.
•H.T.stand bar are used for pre-
tensioning
• 1 jack = 400 tonnes
• Dia = 75 mm
• Six Jacks shall be used for
stressing strands by jacks at one
end.

Girder), while 1 is of 25 MT for ( Steel Yard).
GANTRY

30. Special concrete transport trucks
(in–transit mixers) are made to
transport and mix concrete up to
the construction site .One Transit
Mixer has the capacity of loading
6m3 of Concrete at a time to the
site. The concrete mixing
transport truck maintains the
material's liquid state through
agitation, or turning of the drum,
until delivery.
TRANSIT MIXER

31. BOOM PLACER
A concrete pump is a machine used
for transferring liquid concrete by
pumping. It is known as a trailer-
mounted boom concrete pump
because it uses a remote controlled
articulating robotic arm (called a
boom) to place concrete accurate.
