At the historic Matunga Railway Workshop, K.D. Constructions executed a multidisciplinary development programme comprising industrial sheds, administrative and training facilities, traverser infrastructure, underground and overhead water tanks, roads, drainage and associated electrical works, supporting the augmentation of Bogie Periodic Overhaul (POH) capacity from 350 to 575 bogies per month. The programme also took in an RCC store building, a painting shed and concrete roads, the replacement of industrial flooring and roof sheets in the shops, and miscellaneous track works.
Civil, structural, electrical and railway-specific works were delivered together, as one programme.
The Matunga programme also carried K.D. Constructions' signalling & telecommunication works, integrating railway communication and control systems into the modernised workshop.
