Project involved: Regional Railway System Ahmedabad As an outcome of the IPTS study for Ahmedabad City initiated by Gujarat Infrastructure Development Board (GIDB) to identify the solutions for Urban Transport problem in the city, preparation of Detailed Project Report (DPR) for Regional Rail System for Ahmedabad was initiated by GIDB in 2003 through Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) and RITES. The objective was to incentive the people to stay in satellite townships of Ahmedabad by ensuring that they reach their work places using a suburban rail bases transport system. The project will use the existing Right of way available of Indian Railways passing through the city by upgrading, modernizing and integrating the existing railway facilities and will create its separate tracks and suburban train stations at 1.5-2 kms with operating frequency of one train every 10 minutes during the peak time. The existing railway assets proposed to be upgraded as Regional Rail System are on the following corridors: Corridor 1 :- Barejadi Ahmedabad Jn Kalol Jn - 43.49 km Corridor 2 :- Ahmedabad Jn Naroda - 9.47 km The DPR was submitted by DMRC in October 2005. Discussions were initiated Ministry of Railways for the implementation of the project under Public Private Partnerships (PPP). As per the suggestion of the Railway Board, the DPR was revalidated and submitted by RITES in 2009. As per the decision of government, the feasibility of connecting more small towns with the Regional Rail System is under study . The extended corridors having length of 288 kms are as follows: 1. Kalol Kadi 20 kms 2. Kadi Katosan Road 18 kms 3. Katosan Road Viramgam 38 kms 4. Ahmedabad Jn. Sanand 29 kms 5. Sanand Viramgam 36 kms 6. Kalol Mehsana 42 kms 7. Naroda Prantij 57 Kms 8. Barejadi Mehmedabad 12 kms 9. Mehmedabad Anand - 36 kms

RAILWAY CIVIL ENGINEERING DESIGN

The division is basically related to the different design need in railway projects like road and rail cum road bridges across major rivers and gorges, rail over bridges, rail under bridges including viaduct and rail & road tunnels. The major activities undertaken are; assessment of project need, siting of location including remote sensing study and land use, topography survey, hydraulic design parameters, hydraulic model studies for design of protection and river training works, geological / geotechnical investigations , preliminary / detailed structural design and proof checking including project scheduling, construction planning, tendering along with designers/ construction supervision. The Unit is handled by a multi-disciplinary group consisting of transport planners, surveyors, geologists, geo-technical, traffic experts, hydrologists, bridge & structural engineers, quantity surveyors, economists, construction management and computer professional experts with extensive field experience.

8) Detail Design and construction supervision of 10.6 km long Pir Panjal railway tunnel on new BG 9) 10) 11) 12)

rail line project of Northen Railway.(in Foreign Joint Venture) Detailed design for a rail bridge (1.8 km long) across river Kosi near Nirmali in Bihar for E.C. Railway. Detailed design and construction supervision of 3.2 km long Railway tunnel (NR-T1) at Udhampur on new BG rail line project of Northen Railway. Feasibility study of 6-Lane road bridge (1.8 km long) over Bhramaputra at Guwahati. Model study for siting 5 important rail bridges on DFC Corridor on river Tapi, Narmada, Sabarmati, Yamuna (at Tughlabad and Allahabad).

Project involved: BOGIBEEL BRIDGE ON BRAHAMPUTRA RIVER The Bogibeel bridge which will be the longest rail cum road bridge of the country with a total length 4.95 km. It is going to constructed over Brahmaputra river near Dibrugarh . Brahmaputra river is around 10 km wide but it is very typical to construct 10 km wide bridge so many model studies were done to reduce the length of the bridge. Result of model studies to reduce the length. Khadir Width : 10 Km Design Discharge : 73000 cumsec Laceys Width : 1.4 km Proposal before model studies

Bridge 2 x 32.6 + 56 x 125 m= 7062.5 m with guide bunds on both ends Proposal after model studies Bridge 2 x 32.6 + 34 x 125 m= 4315.2 m with longer guide bunds on both ends.

Different parts of bridge A bridge is mainly constructed in two phase 1) Substructure 2) Superstructure

Work on the Sub-structure of the bridge has been in progress. Out of 42 wells (pillars), 32 wells have been completed. Remaining wells are expected to be completed by June 2013. The construction of the super-structure will start soon after that it will take around four years time to complete. The superstructure, which will be made with composite welded steel truss and designed by a Denmarkbased company, will be the-first-of-its kind in the country. Around 2300 crore has already been spent on the bridge. This is the largest rail cum road bridge till now to be made by RITES limited. The foundation of the bridge is well foundation and 42 peers will be used for the construction of the bridge and the span length is 125 met. Span length plays an important role while making such kind of bridge because discharge of the river plays an important role. While constructing such kind of bridge earthquake and liquefaction was the major problems both of the test were done by IITs. Bogibeeel Rail Link Infrastructure A new station, New dibrugarh Rail Station is being planned for construction at Boiragimoth Kachari village in Dibrugarh. The station is expected to be the biggest in the region. The rail link also has a station at Chowalkhowa. It is being proposed to connect the Bogibeel rail line to Moranhat railway station, on the south bank

Conclusion
RITES is a Government of India Enterprise, provide comprehensive engineering, consultancy and project management services in the transport infrastructure sector under single roof. Since its inception in 1974, company has made steady progress and diversified into new areas of business such as, export/leasing, maintenance and rehabilitation of railway rolling stock, operation and maintenance of railway systems under concession agreements and BOT, BOOT and PPP projects. Different role are played by the different divisions. In the Urban Transport division major ongoing project is Regional Railway System Ahmedabad, It is like the metro but the different places will be connected through the local trains station will be made at the interval of 1.5-2.0 km and the frequency of the trains will also be increased. In the Railway Civil Engineering Design divisions the major ongoing project is bridge over Brahmaputra river it is 4.95 met long bridge the cost of the bridge will be more than 2000 crore. The site selection is very important in these kind of bridges the Brahmaputra river is 10 km wide at the bridge site but the length of bridge is reduced by making guide bund. This bridge will solve the problem for railways.
