Training for High-Speed Rail Track System for MAHSR Corridor starts for Indian Engineers

The training of Indian engineers and work leaders has started for High-Speed Rail Track system for Mumbai Ahmedabad HSR corridor (MAHSR), for T-2 Package    (covering 237 km between Vapi and Vadodara).

It is envisaged that only trained and certified engineers/work leaders are to work at site for track construction works. This will also help in ‘Transfer of Technology’ of Japanese HSR track system.

The ballast-less Slab Track system (popularly known as J Slab track system) as used in Japanese Shinkansen HSR will be used for India’s first HSR project. The training will be imparted by JARTS (a non-profit organization in Japan), nominated by JICA (funding agency of MAHSR project), through Japanese Experts in relevant field.

There will be 15 different courses covering all aspects of Track work, which includes, training for Site Managers, Track Slab Manufacturing, RC Track Bed construction, Reference Pin survey and data analysis, Slab Track installation, CAM installation, Rail weld finishing, Enclosed Arc welding of rails and Turnout installation.

Nearly 1000 engineers/work leaders/technicians are planned to be trained. Training facility with 3 (three) trail lines, has been specially created at Surat Depot for this.

Japanese track system is unique in the world and requires very high level of skill to lay it. Track is the most important component of HSR system and needs to be laid to very high degree of accuracy. 20 (Twenty) Japanese experts will impart intensive training to the Indian engineers, supervisors & technicians and certify their skills.

NHSRCL Organizes Training Programmes for Engineering Students in Asia’s Biggest Geotechnical Investigation Lab in Surat

To give impetus to the National Skill Development Program, NHSRCL is organizing training programmes for the civil engineering students at the Geo Technical investigation lab, which is set up by M/s L&T in Surat for Mumbai- Ahmedabad High Speed Rail Project (M/s L&T is executing the civil works between Vapi and Ahmedabad).

The laboratory is considered as Asia’s biggest Geotechnical Laboratory and has generated employment for an about 900 (500 at field and 400 at laboratories) persons including Engineers, Technician and Skilled Laborers. The lab is equipped with state- of-the- art investigation equipment. The facility can conduct 3500 tests per day through 20 geotechnical engineers and 188 lab technicians.

During the training, the students are familiarized with the instruments being used for various geotechnical investigations.
Besides lectures, field tests like Plate Load Test, Pile Load Test to determine the soil characteristics through laboratory testing are also demonstrated. The first batch of 35 students from Sardar Vallabh Bhai National Institute of Technology (SVNIT),Surat have already received training in this facility.

The MAHSR project has also given a boost to the local Geotech investigation setup in upgrading their old equipment. About 15 laboratories at Valsad, Surat, Vadodara, Anand and Ahmedabad have upgraded their infrastructure to comply international standards required for the project. Fully Automatic and Semi-Automatic ground testing machines have also been deployed at project sites.
