Gandhinagar Railway Station- First Five Star Hotel on Rail Tracks.

Ministry of Railways and Govt. of Gujarat selected Gandhinagar Railway Station for its

redevelopment along with exploitation of Railway Station Airspace for development of a 5-star

Hotel , integration of Mahatma Mandir and Helipad Ground owned by the Govt. of Gujarat. A

SPV named GARUD has been formed with Equity Contribution of Government of Gujarat

(GoG) (74%) and IRSDC (26%) which is working as a Joint Venture Company for

redevelopment of Gandhinagar Railway Station, development of Hotel on the Airspace

above Railway Station , management of Mahatma Mandir and Exhibition Centre at Helipad

Ground.

In January 2017 foundation stone was laid down by Hon’ble PM. The same month GARUD was

formed and the contractor for Civil works was appointed.

The project has undergone numerous changes since conception to implementation

incrementally from initial concept of development of 300 room ( mixed category hotel with 30

rooms five star, 120 rooms 3 star and 150 rooms of budget hotel), to all the 300 rooms of five

star hotel category ,in a limited space of 100m X 100m above the tracks. After appointment of

M/s Leela on 10.10.2017 as Operator on Management contract model, the design underwent

lots of changes with inputs from M/s Leela which led to construction of 2 additional floors, 1 no.

of banquet hall, 2 restaurants along with changes in the room sizes. Complete layout plan

underwent transformation to accommodate a road underbridge and an elevated ramp to

provide direct road connectivity to the reception lobby at 22.5m above the ground. Thus the

design was evolving while the construction was going on, thereby making the project quite

challenging.

Considering these design changes and with project structure being unique and one of its kind, IRSDC has

worked dilligently for achieving progress whilst getting over the obstacle/challenges that have come during

the Construction Period. Few of the challenges overcome are illustrated below:

Incessant Rains for two months during 2017With unusual heavy rains in 2017, the execution of pile foundation was very difficult as the site got flooded

with water. However, keeping in mind, the tight deadline and number of piles to be executed as high as 609

Nos. (depth varying from 32.79-37.79 m), execution of work was continued even in monsoon by taking

precautionary measure using Bentonite slurry and metal casing to avoid the collapsing of soil.

Foundation Plan Pilling Images

Construction of 100 m x 100 m slab being over Live OHE and operation stationMassive construction of approximately 10,000 sqm Concourse slab over and above the live OHE cable and

operational railway station was a mammoth task with various challenges. However, challenges were tackled

using innovative methodology, safety precautions, and parallel support of Western Railway. It was also

possible due to our constant follow up and coordination with Western Railways which helped us in taking

approvals for necessary block in record time with minimal hindrances.

Concourse Slab Plan Concourse Slab



Execution of RCC Transfer girder of 7.5 m depth

Structural changes due to increase in load because of increase in height of building from 54 m to 76 m and

introduction of 2 service floors resulted into revision of design of transfer girder from 2.5 mtr depth(RCC

Beam) to 7.5 mtr depth(Composite Girder) Execution of this activity can be considered as an engineering

challenge, since enormous amount of concrete was needed to be poured between the crowded

reinforcement and structural steel beams. However, casting of slab in sequences and different strength gain

stages helped us to tackle the above challenges under monitoring of our team 24*7.

Also, there was a challenge of shortage of 40 mm dia TMT bar in market which we managed by replacing the

40 mm dia TMT bars with structural steel beams with due consultation of Structural Designer. It also helped us

in maintaining the casting cycle as per the planning with minimal deviations.

In the month of February 2019, we accomplished an engineering milestone by completing the erection of Arch

shaped space frame structure 105 m x 72 m on either side of the new station building. It is one of its own kind

and a longest single span roof structure ever built in India. Erection of Space Frame over live OHE cables and

operational railway station with 5 tracks was a mammoth requiring engineering precision. With proper

planning, elaborate safety precautions and pre-decided sequence of erection, our team could achieve

successful erection of the rafters of space frame within approved railway traffic blocks. Each rafter was erected

in 4 separate segments, held properly by cranes till the joints were completed and also supports were erected

on platforms as additional safety
