Mumbai: The underground Colaba-Bandra-SEEPZ metro rail made its way to the coveted World Tunnel Congress. In fact, of the 365 papers published, only four were from India and two of those four were on Mumbai Metro’s underground line.
The World Tunnel Congress is the ultimate global congregation of engineers specialising in tunnel works. Projects that involve challenging work get the opportunity to be presented to the world.
“Not only were the papers published but also cleared the eligibility criteria to make presentations. Of the 365 papers, only 156 presentations were made at World Tunnel Congress,” Mr. Subodh Kumar Gupta, Director (Projects), Mumbai Metro Rail Corporation Limited.
The gathering happened at Copenhagen, Denmark in September. What is noteworthy is that two of the papers made it, especially after a three year long pandemic break, when the rush is more to showcase one’s project.
Projects from India, France, United Arab Emirates, Netherland, Brazil, Switzerland, United Kingdom, Sweden, United States of America, Italy, Austria, Spain, Australia, Czech Republic, Greece, Turkey, Germany, Japan, Egypt, Norway, Chile, South Korea, Canada, Iran, Thailand, Finland, Singapore and Argentina had representations made during the event.
