Kochi | Wednesday | 15th August, 2018

Summary:

more-inA piece of concrete from the expansion joint of two pillars of the Kochi metro viaduct fell down onto the road near the Lissie Junction station on Tuesday evening. The concrete piece must have made its way beneath through the gap between the pillars,” he said. Kochi Metro Railway Limited has sought a report from the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC), the metro’s executing agency. A DMRC official said the concrete used to fill the gap between two pillars that support the metro viaduct must have fallen off in the inclement weather or due to vibration when trains pass by. “There is no structural damage to the pillars which are independent of each other or the viaduct since the concrete that fell off was just a filler used to improve the aesthetics of the structure..
