Hyderabad, July 26: The Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation will take up repair works based on the detailed investigation reports on flyovers at Lalapet, Masab Tank, Narayanguda and the road over bridge at Khairatabad. The decision comes after a survey of bridges and flyovers revealed that they reportedly developed hairline cracks on the main girders.
GHMC officials said the inventory-cum-condition survey to collect detailed data for all bridges, ROBs and flyovers was taken up to collect information about their general conditions.? The work of inventory-cum-condition survey was entrusted to M/S Stup Consultants. Out of 37 structures proposed, reports on 28 structures have been received and observations made in the final reports draw attention towards the condition of wearing coat joint/ expansion joints, bearing pads, pedestals and hairline cracks on the main girders, which are part of the regular maintenance works on bridges.
These type of issues are generally observed in ROBs, bridges, flyovers and can be rectified by taking up regular maintenance works, they added. Necessary further investigations will thus be taken up for Lalapet, Masab Tank and Narayanguda flyovers and Khairatabad RoB.
