BHUBANESWAR: Geotechnical investigation for Bhubaneswar metro rail project has been started. Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC), consultant of the project, has begun this survey work before commencement of the project’s construction work.
Geotechnical investigation gives knowledge about the physical properties of soil earthworks for proposed structures. The technical people assess the strength of soil before building any structure on it. They want to know whether the ground is suitable and strong enough to safely start construction of the project, said official sources.
