Ministry of Railways and Govt. of Gujarat selected Gandhinagar Railway Station for its redevelopment along with exploitation of Railway Station Airspace for development of a 5-star Hotel , integration of Mahatma Mandir and Helipad Ground owned by the Govt. of Gujarat. A SPV named GARUD has been formed with Equity Contribution of Government of Gujarat (GoG) (74%) and IRSDC (26%) which is working as a Joint Venture Company for redevelopment of Gandhinagar Railway Station, development of Hotel on the Airspace above Railway Station , management of Mahatma Mandir and Exhibition Centre at Helipad Ground.

In January 2017 foundation stone was laid down by Hon’ble PM. The same month GARUD was formed and the contractor for Civil works was appointed.

The project has undergone numerous changes since conception to implementation incrementally from initial concept of development of 300 room ( mixed category hotel with 30 Rairoomslway Sfivetatiostar,n & H120oteroomsl Build3instarg, Gaandndh150inagroomsar of budget hotel), to all the 300 rooms of fiveGARUD star hotel category ,in a limited space of 100m X 100m above the tracks. After appointment of M/s Leela on 10.10.2017 as Operator on Management contract model, the design underwent Chlotsanofgechanges in conwithcepinputst andfrom deM/ssignLeela of pwhichrojeledct to construction of 2 additional floors, 1 no. of banquet hall, 2 restaurants along with changes in the room sizes. Complete layout plan underwent transformation to accommodate a road underbridge and an elevated ramp to provide direct road connectivity to the reception lobby at 22.5m above the ground. Thus the design was evolving while the construction was going on, thereby making the project quite challenging.

Considering these design changes and with project structure being unique and one of its kind, IRSDC has worked dilligently for achieving progress whilst getting over the obstacle/challenges that have come during the Construction Period. Few of the challenges overcome are illustrated below: Incessant Rains for two months during 2017 With unusual heavy rains in 2017, the execution of pile foundation was very difficult as the site got flooded with water. However, keeping in mind, the tight deadline and number of piles to be executed as high as 609 Nos. (depth varying from 32.79-37.79 m), execution of work was continued even in monsoon by taking precautionary measure using Bentonite slurry and metal casing to avoid the collapsing of soil.

Foundation Plan Pilling Images Construction of 100 m x 100 m slab being over Live OHE and operation station Massive construction of approximately 10,000 sqm Concourse slab over and above the live OHE cable and operational railway station was a mammoth task with various challenges. However, challenges were tackled using innovative methodology, safety precautions, and parallel support of Western Railway. It was also possible due to our constant follow up and coordination with Western Railways which helped us in taking approvals for necessary block in record time with minimal hindrances.

However, casting of slab in sequences and different strength gain stages helped us to tackle the above challenges under monitoring of our team 24*7. Also, there was a challenge of shortage of 40 mm dia TMT bar in market which we managed by replacing the 40 mm dia TMT bars with structural steel beams with due consultation of Structural Designer. It also helped us in maintaining the casting cycle as per the planning with minimal deviations.

It is one of its own kind and a longest single span roof structure ever built in India. Erection of Space Frame over live OHE cables and operational railway station with 5 tracks was a mammoth requiring engineering precision. With proper planning, elaborate safety precautions and pre-decided sequence of erection, our team could achieve successful erection of the rafters of space frame within approved railway traffic blocks. Each rafter was erected in 4 separate segments, held properly by cranes till the joints were completed and also supports were erected on platforms as additional safety
