Metro rail projects are growing rapidly in India. Almost every state has started or is about to launch a metro project. Metro Rail Systems are high-capacity public transport systems that require a grade-separated alignment as well as underground or elevated infrastructure. The main priority throughout the metro construction and operation processesis the safety of workers and the community.
As metro rail & mono rail construction are new area of development, they pose new challenges where a lot of research, analysis, and risk management for ensuring safety needs to be done. As cities are rapidly building and expanding metro systems, it is essential to thoroughly explore the nature of metro construction and operation safety.
