Mumbai Bullet Train Station located at Bandra Kurla Complex, is the only underground station on Mumbai Ahmedabad HSR corridor.
The platform is planned at a depth of about 26 metres from the ground level. There will be three floors including platform, concourse and service floor. Excavation for the said work is being done till a depth of 32 meters (approx. 100 ft) from the ground level, which is equivalent to a 10-storey building.
The station will have 6 platforms and length of each platform is approx. 415 m (sufficient to accommodate a 16 coach bullet train). The station will have connectivity with metro and road.
Two entry/exit points are planned one to facilitate the access to nearby Metro station of metro line 2B and other towards the MTNL building.
The station has been planned in a way that ample space is available for passenger movement and amenities at the concourse and platform level.
A dedicated skylight provisions have been made for natural lighting.
Progress as on date
- Approx. 76% excavation work (i.e., 14.2 lakh cubic meter) has been completed. A total of 18.7 Lakh m3 earthwork is required to be excavated from this site
- Three batching plants of 120 cum/hr capacity are functional at site. Batching plants are provided with Ice plant, and chiller plant that helps in controlling the temperature of concrete.
- Site is provided with a modern concrete lab, with facilities like Water Permeability Test, Rapid Chloride Penetration Test etc. All the tests related to concrete are conducted at site. And samples are sent to reputed lab intermittently.
- Construction shall be done with concrete of M-60 for Base slab and M-80 for columns. Base slab will form the deepest construction level for the Bullet Train station. Approx. 2 lakh cu.m. concrete will be poured only for base slab casting. So, far 27,000 cu.m. concrete has already been poured.
- Base Slab is being casted with M-60 grade of temperature-controlled concrete. Each base slab casting required 3000 to 4000 cubic meters of concrete at controlled temperatures, which is being produced by in-situ batching plants and chiller plants.
- 100% secant piling (3384 nos.), Capping Beam (2203 rmt.) and Flood Wall (2078 rmt.) work has already been completed for the site.
