Project Overview This vital two-lane Railway Over Bridge (ROB) was constructed on the critical Ahmedabad-Mumbai Railway Line to connect the densely populated areas of Udhana and Limbayat in Surat. As the Design Consultant, CASAD was instrumental in providing the comprehensive structural plans to eliminate a major level crossing, thereby ensuring uninterrupted railway operations, significantly improving urban traffic flow, and enhancing public safety across this key urban bottleneck.

Casad's Scope of Work CASAD's role was to provide end-to-end structural expertise, ensuring the successful execution of this complex overpass connecting two major urban sectors. Our scope included:

• Detailed Structural Design: Comprehensive structural analysis and design for all 20 spans, including the complex railway and approach sections.

• Substructure Engineering: Detailing of the Pile Foundation and RCC Pier/Pier Cap system to ensure long-term stability and minimal settlement.

• Collaboration: Working closely with the Surat Municipal Corporation and the contractor to ensure the structural design was effectively translated into safe and efficient construction activities.
