| Moorad River Project, Kerala for Southern Railways |
| |
| The Moorad River project was built across the backwaters with six spans of 20 meters Prestressed Concrete box girders. It was the first bridge in Southern Railways to use the caisson method of construction for well foundation. As riverbed was sloping and the currents were high, well foundation was used instead of Pile. But even wells could not be constructed by island formation method because of an outcrop and hence sacrificial steel caissons were adopted. The weight of each well handled was 300MT in water with high water current. |
