The existing Scherzer’s span model for Railways has been banned all over the world as it was considered unsafe. The Rail Vikas Nigam Limited (RVNL), which had been chosen by the Indian Railways to replace the century-old Scherzer’s span, designed and installed at the Pamban rail bridge to pave way for vessels to pass through, has finalised three international consultants to make ready the preliminary design of the new span. After the installation of the new span, speed of trains on the bridge could be considerably enhanced from the present 15 km/ph, he said. “The span is inherently not safe and we will do the best while replacing it,” he said. It would take one to one and a half years to complete the work, he said.
