The Chennai Metro Project Phase 2 - Corridor 3, Package - TU01 encompasses various construction tasks, including diaphragm walls and the creation of entry and exit structures for Madhavaram Milk Colony Station, Murari Hospital Station, Ayanavaram Station, and Purasaiwakkam High Road Station. Additionally, the project involves the establishment of launching and retrieval shafts at the aforementioned stations. The project also poses challenges in tunnelling beneath historical structures in densely populated areas.

TERRATEC's TBMs are equipped with versatile mixed-ground dome-style cutterheads that effectively handle various geological conditions, such as sand, silt, clay, and weathered rock. The TBMs progress with the installation of 1,400mm wide and 275mm thick universal reinforced concrete lining rings, comprising five segments and a key, ensuring stability and structural integrity throughout the tunnelling process.

To ensure optimal machine performance and successful project completion, machine operation is assisted at all times by TERRATEC’s highly-experienced Field Service staff. This commitment to after-sales assistance guarantees high-quality service at all times.

The rapid population growth and increasing traffic volumes in Chennai have put significant strain on the city's urban transport system. To address this, the government of Tamil Nadu has undertaken the Chennai Metro Rail Project, providing the people of Chennai with a modern, efficient, and affordable mode of public transportation. The project is scheduled to be completed within a tight timeframe of approximately four years.

TERRATEC’s continuing success on projects such as Phase III of the Delhi Metro, Lucknow Metro, Ahmadabad Metro, Kanpur Metro, Surat Metro, Pune Metro and Mumbai Metro is a result of tailor-made robust TBM design, prompt onsite assistance, readily available stock of TBM spares and highly-skilled specialised TBM support throughout tunnelling operations.
