Bairabi Sairang New Railway Line Project - Mizoram

The 51.38 km Bairabi–Sairang railway line is a landmark infrastructure project in Mizoram, executed by Northeast Frontier Railway (NFR) under the Government of India’s Act East Policy. Traversing one of the most challenging terrains in the Northeast, the project features 55 major bridges, 87 minor bridges, and 48 tunnels, cutting through steep gorges, forested hills, and landslide-prone zones. This remarkable engineering feat required bearings capable of supporting extreme vertical loads while maintaining stability under dynamic conditions.

Bridges 115 & 89, with their 103.5m long spans, were executed across a challenging valley section, making it one of the most significant structures on this alignment. These bridges cross a deep valley while minimizing the number of intermediate piers.

The area experiences heavy rainfall, extreme humidity, and temperature variations. The materials and protective coatings used in our bearings were specifically selected for long-term durability in such extreme weather conditions.

We had meticulously planned the scope of this project to include a comprehensive analysis of existing structures, identifying key areas that require reinforcement. By collaborating with leading structural engineers, we developed tailored solutions that meet the specific needs of each site, prioritising both safety and functionality.

The outcomes of this initiative not only bolster the resilience of our built environment but also set new industry standards for safety and efficiency. We anticipate that the successful completion of this project will serve as a benchmark for future developments, showcasing the effectiveness of our products in real-world applications.

In addition, we are committed to utilising sustainable practices throughout the project lifecycle. Our approach includes sourcing eco-friendly materials and employing energy-efficient technologies, aligning with global efforts to reduce environmental impact.

Ultimately, this project represents a significant step forward in our mission to create safer, more durable infrastructures that can withstand the challenges posed by natural disasters, benefiting communities and enhancing public trust in engineering excellence.
