NEW DELHI: Delhi Metro is sending its engineers abroad to improve their skills in underground tunnelling.

Talking about the initiative, Delhi Metro Rail Corporation head Mangu Singh said Metro has tied up with Tunnel Training Academy in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, and the first batch of 10 engineers will be sent next month. "The training aims at increasing the skill levels of DMRC engineers in underground tunnelling as about 53km of the total 143km of Metro's Phase III is being constructed underground," said Singh.

As many as 35 tunnel-boring machines (TBM) are going to be used for the construction. "Such intensive tunnelling activity will require specialized engineering skills for the different operations of the TBMs," added the Delhi Metro chief. As part of the module, emphasis will be given on ensuring that engineers make sure there is no movement and surface settlement in the building, under which tunnelling takes place.

The academy in Kuala Lumpur is one of the few institutions in the world which creates a simulated underground environment, in which a trainee actually gets a feel of working inside a TBM, said Metro officials. "This training will help DMRC in increasing its internal expertise in underground tunnelling. In future, it plans to establish its own such tunnel training academy in Delhi," said the Delhi Metro spokesman.

Each TBM weighs about 450 tonne and is over 60 to 80 metre in length. Therefore, the engineers will be trained for proper lifting and lowering of the TBMs at Metro work sites. The deepest point of tunneling in Phase III will be 29m deep. This tunnel will be under the operational Hauz Khas Metro station.
