I only hope, they would make adequate arrangements for cement.
They would certainly use state of the art equipment to speed up the works.

may be GoI should allow them to import cement duty free for this purpose.
would any one know, if there is any such provision?

ORR Phase I: Gacchibowli to Shamshabad 22km is divided into 2 packages
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
ORR Phase I package 1: Transstroy Rs 219 crore 11-km Gachibowli - APPA.

ORR Phase I package 2: Taiwan’s CEC Rs 295 crore APPA - Shamshabad.

What/where is APPA?.

Good that they are starting the work from the new airport, that should give a good first impression of the city for the new comers.

Andhra Pradesh Police Academy.

.

From what I have seen of the renderings, this looks like it will be an international standard road, unlike the ORR and IRR that we have in Bangalore.

There are many faults in them, but to mention just one, which is possibly the most important considering high speed travel in multi-lanes, is the road alignment on curvatures. To maintain good speeds without slipping out of lane on curves, the road needs to be banked to counter the centrifugal force that pulls the vehicle away. This is mandatory and is a given on all such highways abroad. Almost all roads in Bangalore do not have this, despite which claims are made about international standards being met!!!

This is just the glaring error. One can add more like:

No shoulders near the median and edges;
Uneven and wavy road surface because minor land contours had not been levelled before laying the road, leading to uncomfortable ride;
Speed humps - one of the biggest menaces to vehicles;
Unequal lane widths and sometimes a lane just disappears;
No merge and de-merge lanes for entering and exiting traffic;
Allowing U-turns in the medians, without proper slip lanes on both sides;
No Lay bye parking spaces for trucks etc., at least every few kms;
No Bus bays to take the stopping vehicles off the road......

To meet real international stds, I hope this ORR in Hyderabad takes care of such needs.

We can expect 4 interchanges in the shorter phase 1 itself:
Gachibouli, Namakrama-guda ORR link road Junction, APPA, and Shamshabad.

Check out the ORR alignment

ORR Alignment Map

Luckystreak · May 30th, 2006, 06:29 PM

To curb haphazard occupation along the ORR the following rules have been framed (to be approved by the government):

source: Hyderabad Urban Development Authority

Quote:

As the development of the access controlled Outer Ring Road is likely to trigger large scale development along the Outer Ring Road Corridor the Government had directed Hyderabad Urban Development Authority to undertake preparation of Comprehensive Development Plan with hierarchal road network and frame Special Development Regulation for the areas falling under 1 K.M., belt on either side of Outer Ring Road so as to promote planned development and curb haphazard and Ribbon Development, along the Outer Ring Road.

- Properties shall not open on the service road directly.

- No structure, projections, hoardings allowed within this building line

- Development between 10th mtr to 15th mtr from the outer edge of the ORR ROW allowed only through SDRs

- Minimum independent plot size 1200 sq. mtrs (smaller plots allowed in approved layouts)

- Minimum Layout area 15 acres for layout/plotted development

- Regulated Height Zones (buildings 18 mtrs and above to be allowed only through SDRs)

ORR project to take off on June 6

Hyderabad, June 4: The much-delayed Outer Ring Road Phase-I project is scheduled to commence on June 6. Firms from Russia and Taiwan, which have successfully bid for the project, are scheduled to complete the nearly 28-km road by December 2007. Works will be started in the presence of municipal administration and urban development minister Koneru Ranga Rao, mines minister Sabita Indra Reddy and HUDA officials.

...ORR project director Peeyush Kumar said works relating to Phase-II would start September. “We are likely to divide Phase-II in three packages,” he said.

HUDA insisted on prior experience in building such highways, before awarding these contracts.
they are also splitting the job into small packages so they could meet the dead lines without sacrificing quality.
hopefully, all the above issues would be taken care of.

Reward for early completion
The Outer Ring Road (ORR) phase-I might be completed before its schedule— 30 months. The government has assured bonus to companies that finish their works before the deadline.

Taiwan-based Continental Engineering Corporation’s country manager Yudhishtir on Tuesday said the agreement between the firms and the government was that the companies would be penalised if they overshoot the deadline.

“And similarly, we have promised a handsome bonus package if the works are completed ahead of the schedule,’’ he added.

The companies would ship in construction equipment on a large scale. Survey and path clearance would be completed in 15 days and the escalation works will begin in the next fortnight, Yudhishtir added.

The companies would availing services of local manpower, including engineers. However, a few officials from Russia and Taiwan will camp in the city to look into administrative affairs of their respective companies.

The Outer Ring Road phase-I works (24.38 km) were inaugurated by ministers Sabitha Indra Reddy and Koneru Ranga Rao. It will connect Gachibowli and Shamshabad international airport in the next 30 months.

The works of the 11-km long stretch between Gachibowli and Andhra Pradesh Police Academy have been handed over to the Russia based Corporation Transstroy and works of the stretch between AP Police Academy and Tondupally of Shamsabad mandal covering a distance of 13.38 km are being taken up by the Taiwan-based Continental Engineering Corporation.

.....way to go!!! This is practiced in heavy civil engineering projects worldwide. Good to see our Govt.s adopting global best practices.

Just curious, will it be first 8 lane highway of international standards in India ?

Firstly, it is not a highway. It is only a ring road, which runs along the outskirts, aimed at decongesting the traffic within the city.

Secondly, there are 8-lane expressways already under construction between NCR (around Delhi), Gurgaon and Jaipur and also one from Mumbai. Donno the current status.
But, 6 lane expressways and 4 lane highways are more common though.

pding · June 7th, 2006, 08:46 PM

there are quite a few 8-lane expressways in the NCR region.

also, it's a nice way to give incentives if work if finished earlier. the authorities have maintained the speed uptill now. now that the contracts have been given, i think the project will run smoothly as planned.

great job YSR, GoAP, and all the authorities!!!
