Speaking about the award Shri Kumar Keshav, Managing Director, Lucknow Metro said “I am delighted that our hard work and dedication towards completion of the Lucknow Metro Rail Project is being recognised at all levels. This is the result of a great team work which has achieved such a milestone in the area of Metro project execution in the Country’.


Lucknow Metro has earned the distinction of being the fastest ever Metro project construction and execution in the Country so far. No other Metro project in the Country has ever been able to achieve this milestone in such a stiff time-frame. Even contemporary Metro projects have not been able to match up with LMRC’s speed of deliverance and execution. LMRC has, thus, set a new standard and benchmark in Metro Project execution in the Country.

Innovative SkyWay technologies: Future Transportation

Image
SkyWay string transport is an energy and transportation communicator of elevated overpass type. It uses electric vehicles on steel wheels riding on specific string rails. The main design differences of this system from other types of railroads of trestle design are pre-stressed tension of the structure, the absence of a continuous solid roadbed, low materials intensity in construction and visual simplicity. The main advantages are economic efficiency, environmental friendliness, durability, reliability, safety and, consequently, high market competitiveness. SkyWay transport is developing in three main areas: high-speed intercity type (up to 500 km/h, and in future, up to 1250 km/h with the transition to a pre-vacuum tube) urban passenger type (up to 150 km/h) and freight type. It has no analogues in its field with the ability to meet the entire range of transportation needs. In future it can be integrated into a unified global energy, information and transportation network, which will ...
