Introduction
We live in a world where people’s attention spans start to decrease with each passing year. As a brand, one wishes to communicate effectively to the audiences—in industries, there certainly needs to be done about this. Nonetheless, by implementing animation, ideas can be easily and effectively communicated without losing the spirit of the message.
In most cities, the public transportation systems remain inadequate. To upgrade the same, the Indian government has provided metro services in some of the country’s major cities. They are being planned in phases in various cities as they reduce the soaring problems of traffic congestion.
In the cities where metros are running, people have claimed that the commute has actually become easy and saves time. Therefore the implementation of metros in other cities is also at its peak.
Indian cities are investing in high-quality mass rapid transit systems (Metro rail is a form of mass transit public transport system employing trains) to address the growing mobility requirements. With 13 functional Metro rail networks (Mumbai, Jaipur, Noida, Chennai, Kochi, Lucknow, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Kolkata, Delhi, Gurgaon, Ahmedabad, Nagpur), 6 metro systems due to launch in the coming years and 12 metro systems in the planning stage, 30 metro systems in proposed stage, Metro systems are expected to play a significant role in shaping the urban development in the country.
As of January 2021, India has 760.62 kilometers (472.63 miles) of operational metro lines and 540 stations.
But it is easier said than done. Implementing metro projects faces challenges right from the beginning and continues until their maintenance. If addressed proactively, these challenges will not pose intense threats. Let us see which of the following are challenges for metro construction.
Challenges in the Procurement and Implementation of Mass Rapid Transit Projects-
There are various challenges faced by the management and the workers during the construction of the metro.
The challenges for metro construction involved in metro rail projects at the pre-development stage, during the development stage, and during the operations stage can be categorized as political Challenges, construction Challenges, market and revenue challenges, financial Challenges, Legal challenges, and Operating Challenges.
The construction quality and safety system in the metro must be top-notch since it involves a vast population traveling and working for it.
The above challenges need unique solutions as every sector, city, and political plan demands distinct solutions. Now, from all the above difficulties, let us critically address the safety challenges.
Hazards Identification and Risk Assessment in Metro Railway Line Construction Projects
Risk management in metro rail project and hazard Identification are crucial to metro construction projects. Hazard identification and risk assessment are efficient approaches to protecting health and minimizing hazards to life, property, and the environment.
The steps of Hazard identification and risk assessment are –
Risk management in the construction project management context is a comprehensive and systematic way of identifying, analyzing, and responding to risks to achieve project objectives. To manage risk effectively and efficiently, the contractor must understand risk responsibilities, event conditions, preferences, and management capabilities.
The major construction work having potential hazards for workers in this construction site include
On 15 November 2008, a fatal tunnel collapse occurred one year after the construction of the Hangzhou metro line, resulting in the loss of 12 lives. Over 100 workers have died during the construction of the metro railway in the Indian capital, Delhi. The frequent accidents at metro sites have given rise to fears that safety standards are being compromised in the rush to build new lines.
To avoid heavy casualties and property losses caused by safety violations, appropriate Safety Training remains the most crucial aspect to achieve this objective that maintains a tight grip on safety & eliminates the Operating and Construction Risks.
Therefore, we need proper solutions to ensure that workers understand the intensity of their work and know exactly what to do when things go wrong. The ultimate solution is a Safety Animation Movie for Metro EHS!
A Safety Animation Movie is an excellent tool for introducing safety training to all those involved in Metro Project Work.
Animated videos stand crucial, as does their prominence. TECH EHS animation videos;
Metro Rail Projects require an integrated approach from the design stage itself. Further, the insights gained from homogeneous projects in other countries on various aspects related to construction, operation, and environmental management can also be suitably used for any project to ensure that it is environmentally sustainable and socially justifiable.
TECH EHS Safety Animation movies take care of all these aspects to assist Metro projects from the Initial phase itself. Contact us to learn more.
