By OEM Update Editorial October 29, 2021 4:24 pm

A total of 3,064 flash butt welds have been done to complete 100 percent of rail panels in the October month.

Maha Metro has completed flash butt welding (FBW) for the track being laid on Reach II (Sitabuldi to Automotive Square) and Reach IV (Sitabuldi to Prajapati Nagar). The organisation mostly did FBW as these welds are stronger than other ones.

Rails used in Nagpur Metro Rail Project (NMRP) are generally of length 18 meters and 25 meters. The individual rails are welded together to form long-welded panels of various lengths according to the alignment of the track.
