BMC floats tenders to appoint contractor for repair of Malabar Hill area, Patkar Road
Three months after a massive landslide damaged two crucial and busy roads of south Mumbai, the BMC has floated tenders to appoint contractors for repair of N S Patkar Marg and stabilisation of a part of Malabar Hill road that had collapsed.
The civic body has said the project, estimated to cost Rs 47.29 crore, will be completed within six months from the day the contractor is appointed.
Officials said the primary work includes soil stabilisation of hill slopes by using soil nailing techniques, GI weld mesh (galvanized iron to hold rock and soil) and anchoring soil and rock. The existing dilapidated wall will be demolished and a new retaining wall be reconstructed with RCC (Reinforce Cement Concrete) along with stainless steel.
