| Abstract: |
Dwarka Expressway also known as Northern Peripheral Road {NPR) was proposed to be developed as northern ring road thereby providing additional connectivity between Gurgaon and Delhi apart from NH 8, Old Delhi Road, and MG Road. This paper presents Design and Construction aspects of the Shallow Tunnel, an integral segment of the Dwarka Expressway, connecting Shiv Murti Interchange to RUB {CH 1+200 to CH 4+800). The paper focuses on the optimization of construction sequence and its consequential impact on material saving and reduced carbon footprint thereof. Study carried out demonstrates significant reductions in concrete, steel, and energy consumption. An improved construction sequence leads to cost savings and reduced construction duration but also lowers the project's environmental footprint. |
