A brownfield railway infrastructure project across the Sewri–Panvel section of Mumbai's Harbour Line, involving FOBs, linkways/highwalks, subways, boundary walls and associated trespass-control works.
A key feature was the fabrication, launching and erection of FOBs over running railway lines, using both truss and plate girder systems across four locations: Vashi–Sanpada, Nerul–Seawood, Seawood–Belapur and Khandeshwar–Panvel.
At the Vashi FOB, the structure was lifted into place with two 650-tonne cranes deployed for the lift. The erection was carried out over running railway lines, with the fabrication, launch and final alignment all managed by K.D. Constructions.
