Girder Launcher Collapse on High-Speed Rail Line Kills One
In a tragic incident on Tuesday, at least 20 people died in Thane, Maharashtra after a girder launcher fell on them while they were working on phase three of the Samruddhi Expressway.
One worker died and six others were injured in Karjan town in the
Vadodara district in Gujarat on Thursday after a
girder launcher fell on them while they were working on the construction of a high-speed rail corridor for an upcoming bullet train project, official said.
After the incident, the National High Speed Rail Corporation Limited (NHSRCL) issued a statement confirming the tragedy.
“Today, in the MAHSR C-4 package of Mumbai-Ahmedabad High Speed Rail Corridor construction site in Karjan near Vadodara, a girder launcher after successfully completing 14 km of girder launching had reached its new launching location near Vadodara”, the statement read.
It further added that the launching gantry had been shifted on top of the girder transporter to the launching location, and while this was being done, the wheelbase of the front support jammed and became inclined, thus disturbing part of the launching gantry.
“One worker, who was trying to check the wheelbase, got trapped and died. Six other workers, who suffered minor injuries, were admitted to a nearby hospital. NHSRCL senior officials have already reached the site”, the NHSRCL said in its statement.
While talking to reporters about the incident, legislator from the Karjan assembly Akshay Patel said: “Construction work for the Mumbai-Ahmedabad bullet train corridor is currently underway at Kambola village of Karjan taluka. Due to some technical issues, a girder launcher fell on workers”.
He further informed that the injured workers were admitted to hospital immediately.
After the incident, the fire brigade and police reached the spot and started a rescue operation.
