17. Innovation by
For the first time in Indian Railways, such treatment with the
involvement of RDSO was executed.
Extremely weak soil base was encountered in Haldia section of
South Eastern Railway because of proximity to port area. Therefore,
special ground treatment was undertaken by providing more than
4500 nos. of stone columns by Dry Vibro Method.
Instrumentation done for Cable Stayed Bridge at
Barddhaman – first of its kind in Indian Railway Bridges
The structural monitoring system issues alarm
notification based on measurements by the on-
structure instrumentation when pre-defined threshold
values of structural loads are passed. Alarm criteria is
configured based on the structural design of the bridge
RVNL has implemented cutting edge GPS based
Remote Eye Monitoring System to monitor
progress, quality and imbibe transparency culture in
execution of projects. In this developed system,
mobile phones of field supervisors are loaded with
an application, with which GPS authenticated field
photographs are taken and automatically uploaded
to central servers. These photographs are indexed
and saved project wise and location wise. Any
authorised person can view the quality of work,
progress of work etc. through any computer or
mobile device.
