After sinkhole incident, BMRCL to rope in geologists to check underground tunnelling work
The Bengaluru Metro Rail Corporation Ltd (BMRCL) issued a notification Wednesday, seeking applications for the post of senior geologist and geologist on a contract basis. This development follows the sinkhole incident in January, wherein a portion of the Brigade Road near Vellara junction caved in.
This notification also comes after Tunnel Boring Machine ‘Lavi’ achieved a breakthrough during the tunnelling work for the 21.25 km Pink Line between Kalena Agrahara and Nagawara metro stations last week.
According to BMRCL MD Anjum Parvez, the geologists will be tasked to check underground tunnel work that is taking place as part of Phase 2 metro construction.
