Preparatory Survey (II) on Karachi Circular Railway Revival Project Final Report 4.3 Alignment Review 4.3.1 Reconnaissance of the Available Land for KCR and KUTC Alignment Option Before planning the alignment, JICA Study Team conducted reconnaissance of KUTC option of KCR alignment plan based on the available land through exchange of opinions with KUTC’s technical staff. Appendix 4.2 gives detail observation at each section. KUTC has planned 24 stations in RAP report shown in Table 4.3.1 and Figure 4.3.1.

Source; JICA Study Team Figure 4.3.2 Karachi Circular Railway Route Map (2) Concept JICA Study Team reviewed the KCR alignment based on the existing reports as data of topographic and boundary survey results have not been available yet at the time of the review. The available reports and documents for this study are shown below: a) Topographic survey and boundary survey under the mentorship of KUTC b) Special Assistance for Project Formation for Karachi Circular Railway Project in the Islamic Republic of Pakistan (hereinafter referred to as “SAPROF (I)”) c) Resettlement Action Plan: Revival of KCR Final Report (hereinafter referred to as “RAP Plan”) d) Drawing documents composed by PR and KUTC Furthermore, JICA Study Team modified KCR chainage from SAPROF (I), which starts from Drigh Road station in counter-clockwise direction in accordance with KUTC decision. JICA 4-39 NK-YEC-JEC Preparatory Survey (II) on Karachi Circular Railway Revival Project Final Report (3) Alignment and Railway Structure for Grade Separation with Roads/PR Lines The railway structures for grade separation with roads or PR lines except on-ground track and bridge sections are planned in SAPROF (I) as shown in Table 4.3.2. And Figure 4.3.3 and Figure 4.3.4 provided by KUTC are the longitudinal profiles with crossing-roads in detail.

Then RAP Plan by KUTC was made based on SAPROF (I) Report and had original station plans. JICA Study Team made an optimal station plan with the following manners: 1) The station plans of SAPROF (I) and RAP Report are reviewed based on the results of site reconnaissance and site survey. 2) Layout of stations is planned based on the platform type (on-ground/elevated, island/ side), width and length which JICA Study Team proposed at inception meeting. 3) Station plan of KCR is made based on the following principals. x Examination based on the results of demand forecast. x To consider the appropriate connection with BRT under planning and existing bus route. x To consider the locations which contribute to the ridership enhancement of KCR. x To consider PR Karachi and KUTC’s opinion about the locations as far as technically possible and proper.
