![]() ![]() “Only around 70 percent of the animals that we collared were actually utilizing the underpasses,” said Benson Okita-Ouma, lead author of the study. The elephants, especially females with young, significantly increased their speeds when they did so: a sign they felt the crossing points to be risky. More than 176,000 GPS fixes were obtained to support the study, which showed that the elephants mostly crossed the railway and adjacent highway at night. Led by members of conservation NGO Save the Elephants, the research team fitted satellite collars on ten elephants (five males and five females) living in Tsavo Conservation Area (TCA) and tracked their movements from 2016-2019. Installation of seven (7) units in the first phase was completed in 8 Hrs.“This fast learning is indicative of elephants’ high intelligence,” wrote the authors of the study, published in the African Journal of Ecology. Lifting System was adopted with a combination of Fabricated Spreader Beam and H T Freyssibars was extremely effective while handling pre-cast segments weighing 54.50 MT (including weight of lifting system). The pre-casting of box segments was completed in the designated casting yard close to the installation site and was installed at the desired location by cut ‘n’ cover method. This is indispensable for the plant operations. There are 3 parallel railway tracks and Terre Armée in India proposed part construction, in which one track always remained live for handling of plant logistics. ![]() The barrel length of the underpass is 26.5m and the internal dimension of the underpass is 6m wide x 3.5m high. Based on the design, the moulds were customized to meet the design specifications. Terre Armée in India used the in-house technical know-how to custom-design the requisite cross-sections for this project. ACC Ltd awarded this job to Terre Armée in India for construction of one Railway Underpass using TechBox® Technology. To ensure uninterrupted movement of the wagons during construction of Railway Underpass, Terre Armée in India proposed precast box structure TechBox™ system. then consulted Terre Armée In India regarding a viable solution for the above scenario. ![]() However, due to shortage of available space, the ROB option was dropped.ĪCC Ltd. To eliminate the obstruction of vehicular movement due to railway crossing, it was necessary to construct an underpass or a railway over bridge (ROB). This access road along the outer periphery of ACC Jamul cement plant is one of the important connecting road for ACC staff colony and other adjoining residential areas. Vehicular movement along the road was interrupted frequently due to the existing railway level crossing inside the plant. The railway tracks under South East Central Railway is the life line for the ACC cement plant located at Jamul in the state of Chhattisgarh, India for the logistics of supply of raw materials and to dispatch of cement/clinkers by wagons.
