Urban Infrastructure
City Road Development

Mumbai Metropolitan Region is a large area spread across 4000 sq. km. It comprises of one of Mumbai, among the largest city in the world along with surrounding areas and townships that comprise of various satellite towns and municipalities that need continual development. For this, Amiand:

Developed Engineering Designs and Cost Estimates,
Assisted public agency in contract procurement,
Assisted in Project Management and oversight of quality, cost and project schedules,
Coordination with Stakeholders and Utility Owners and commissioning of facilities.

Greenfield
Multimodal Corridor

As part of comprehensive Transportation Study for Mumbai, a Land use transportation plan was prepared with funding from the World bank. As an outcome of the study the authorities planned a 125 km long multi modal corridor that would helped create an Integrated Transportation Corridor and stimulate development of satellite townships and suburbia connected by public transport infrastructure.

As part of this assignment, Amiand in association with an international engineering group worked on:

Conducting Engineering and socio-economic surveys including development of BSES,
Environmental Assessment and Preparation Rapid EIA,
Designing Road Alignment, BRTS and MRTS Multimodal Connectivity,
Preliminary Engineering Design for Interchange and Tunnels,
Defining Procurement Strategy based on EPC, BOT and Hybrid Annuity alternatives.

Pedestrian Connectivity &
Joint Development

Amiand team have assisted in:

Detailed Design and engineering of numerous pedestrian bridges "Foot Overbridge"/ FOB along important Suburban Rail and Metro Corridors,
Provided Engineering Designs,
Developed detailed working drawings, bid documents, engineering bill of quantities and cost estimates.

Monorail Guideway

For large engineering consortium bidding for a turnkey design and build for a 27 km 14 station monorail. Monorail project Amiand Consulting team assisted in:

Preparing value engineering and method statements for a Monorail Guideway System,
Developing preliminary engineering,
Cost estimates and interface design elements to be worked out for the bid,
Design deliverables also required developing technical method statement for construction of guideway beams and integrated frame structure specialised casting yard for the project.

Mumbai Ahmedabad HSR

For India's very first "Bullet Train"/ Shinkansen project, India has sought assistance from JICA for constructing a 500 KM corridor, a total of seven packages for civil construction have been defined. Amiand Consulting worked for the authorities on package C-1 and C-2 to:

Undertake preliminary studies on Project Pre-Planning,
Preconstruction permitting requirements,
Assessment of muck disposal sites and casting yard sites for proposed Tunnel Construction,
Developing methodology for interface between impacting Gas Utilities and Portal Design for NATM Construction creating tunnel for high speed rail.

Structural Audit
Buildings & Vertical Structures

For a variety of structures our team of Buildings and Vertical Engineering experts have been associated in conducting structural audits and buildings assessment surveys. For a large 120,000 sq. ft. integrated school facility, Amiand structural engineers were called in to undertake a detailed structural audit of the facilities.

During development of the High Speed Rial Corridor and the Tunnel Construction several on ground structures were potentially affected. For this, Amiand team conducted detailed survey of over 150 structures of varying types from warehouse to residential and commercial structures and analysed their impact during underground TBM tunnel construction.

Performing NDT tests and Seismic Design Stability tests,
Assessing concrete strength and structural stability tests meeting engineering standards,
Impact assessment resulting from construction of HSR tunnel on adjoining and overground structures.

Underground Metro

As an associate member of the Mumbai Metro Line 3 Project, Amiand has provided a number of specialised Technical support and staffing expertise:

Engineering support for Quality, Safety and Contract Administration,
MEP Design support for Depot and Stations,
Design review support of TBM Tunnel Designs,
Design support for Traction and System Interface.

The project is one of the largest under construction in South Asia comprises of 35 Km of Twin Tube Tunnel with 26 underground stations that also require mobilising 17 large TBMs simultaneously for a fast track design and construction.
