The Uttar Pradesh Metro Rail Corporation Limited (UPMRC) has started work on the Building Condition Survey to gauge the current structural status of buildings that come under the vicinity of about 50 meters on both sides of the proposed underground metro tunnel under the Kanpur Metro project. The underground corridor is to be built between Chunniganj to Nayaganj metro corridor stretch. In the second phase of the project, major construction work would be carried out underground between Chunniganj and Transport Nagar station. Between the two ends, seven underground stations would be built. Also, a total number of 12 stations will be constructed between Chunniganj and Naubasta in South city, a 14 km long stretch. Out of 12, seven would be underground and remaining elevated. In the survey carried out by metro engineers, old, multi-floored and buildings with a basement have been identified and examined. Strength and resistivity of any building found weak is enhanced in advance and also information about privately dug bore-wells is collected and if needed, they are shifted. Repairing and shifting works will be carried out with the consent of the owner of the building and the cost will be borne by UPMRC. During the construction of the Metro Tunnel, real-time monitoring will be carried out of the surveyed buildings in the specified vicinity on both sides of the tunnel up to a distance of 10 meters in the direction of movement of the Tunnel Boring Machine.
