BENGALURU: To reduce the impact of vibrations of trains running on underground tracks on buildings and structures in its vicinity, the Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Limited (BMRCL) plans to install a special safety system on the tracks. This is being planned on 9 km out of the 13.8 km Underground Corridor from Dairy Circle to Nagawara of Phase-2’s Pink Line. Director, Projects and Planning, BMRCL, D Radhakrishna Reddy told TNIE,
“To attenuate the vibrations, we are going to adopt a Mass Spring System on the underground tracks of the Reach-6 line from Nagawara to Kalena Agrahara. This follows a study conducted by BMRCL to assess the travel of vibrations and their likely impact on structures.”
