Tower Foundation of the 40mm Lattice Tower in Kavach, Southern Eastern Railway

Railway Kavach Tower Foundation Project for 40 mm Lattice Towers

Stallion Power Infra Private Limited successfully executed the Survey, Foundation Construction and Allied Civil Works for 40 mm Lattice Towers associated with the Railway Kavach Automatic Train Protection (ATP) System. The project involved the construction of robust and accurately aligned tower foundations to provide a stable structural base for the installation of Kavach equipment and associated railway signalling infrastructure.

The foundation works included detailed site survey and setting out, excavation, reinforcement, shuttering, concreting, curing, foundation bolt installation, backfilling and finishing activities. Special attention was given to maintaining the required foundation dimensions, reinforcement arrangement, tower alignment and embedded component positioning in accordance with approved drawings and railway specifications.

The project was executed with a strong focus on structural stability, construction quality, safety and precision. The completed foundations provide a durable and reliable base for the subsequent erection of Kavach lattice towers and installation of associated signalling and communication equipment, contributing to the development of safer and more reliable railway operations.

Project Scope

• Detailed site survey, setting out and marking of Kavach tower foundation locations.
• Site preparation and excavation for 40 mm Lattice Tower foundations.
• Foundation layout and dimensional verification as per approved drawings.
• Reinforcement cutting, bending, fabrication and placement.
• Shuttering and formwork for RCC foundation construction.
• Supply, placement and compaction of concrete for tower foundations.
• Installation and accurate positioning of foundation bolts and embedded components.
