The history of the bridge is traced in 1914, when British engineers built an original Pamban Bridge.
On the occasion of Rama Navami, Prime Minister Narendra Modi is appointed to the inauguration of the first vertical bridge in India, the new Pambana bridge in Romanatopurom, Tamil Nadu, Sunday. The new bridge in the Pomban Bridge of the 2.07-kilometer, which covers the regiment in Tamil Nadu, is a testament to the development of an engineering workshop and a vision infrastructure in India.
The bridge has one vertical lift that covers 72.5 meters with two traces. The approach has an 88 gap of the 18.3-meter steel plate made for one line.
The history of the bridge is traced in 1914, when British engineers built an original Pamban Bridge. Console (a long piece of metal or wood that extends from the wall to support the end of the bridge) with the design with Scherzer Rolling Lift to connect the island with Ramswar with mainland India. However, the new bridge, sanctioned in 2019, is 3 meters higher than the existing, improving marine communication.
The bridge served as a rescue circle for pilgrims, tourists and trade.
“However, the rigid maritime environment and increasing transport requirements demanded a modern decision. In 2019, the Central Government sanctioned the construction of technological replacement, ready for the future,” the ministry said.
The new Pamban Bridge was built by Rail Vikas Nigam Limited (RVNL), PSU Navratna at the Railway Ministry. RVNL provided that the bridge met higher speed, load and marine requirements. This new bridge increases the connection by demonstrating India’s infrastructure in security, durability and innovation.
The ministry said the bridge was built from stainless steel reinforcement, full -fledged protective paint and completely welded joints. Special polysson coating protects it from corrosion, providing longevity in harsh marine conditions.
By the beginning of the 21st century, the old bridge could no longer meet the demands of modern transport. Increasing the volume of traffic in combination with the need for faster and safe communication has pushed the government to provide a new structure that would be technologically advanced, durable and ready in the future.
Construction of a modern sea bridge, which can accommodate movement growth, provide strength and facilitate smoother navigation. Pamban’s new bridge was intended to resolve the restrictions of its predecessor, opening the way to the extended regional connection and economic growth, the statement said.
The original 1914 bridge was vital for trade and pilgrimage, but no longer suitable for modern rail requirements. Given the seismic activity of the region, cyclones and marine corrosion, sustainable, technologically advanced replacement was important, the ministry said.
According to the ministry, the construction of the new Pambana bridge has presented numerous problems, ranging from environmental obstacles to logistics. Stormy waters, strong winds and unpredictable weather conditions have created difficulties in the construction process. In addition, the region’s susceptibility to cyclones and seismic activity required careful planning and reliable design.
Ultimately, the decision was to launch the lifting passage pirro, using the “Running Automatic Launches method based on the principle of relationships”, developed by the Suntech construction consultants and the IIT MADRAS.
For transportation, assembly and final welding, after painting and final inspection, the segments were delivered to Pamban, where the temporary platform with two EOT taps (electrical overhead) included the assembly of the beam.
The welding was made in specialized houses, the joints were inspected by PAUT (the ultrasound test), and the corrosion protection was completed with metallization and color.
While the new Pambana bridge is the first vertical sea in India, it shares the resemblance to other globally recognized bridges, known for its technological progress and unique designs.
The ministry said the Golden Gate Bridge in the US, the London Tower and the Oresund Bridge in Denmark-Sweden.
