Pune Metro is an under-construction mass rapid transit system that comprises of 3 lines with a total length of 55 km. The Metro is in Pune Metropolitan Region in Pune City, India.

Swargate Station is part of the 17-km Line 1 running from PCMC Building to Swargate. Lines 1 and 2 are expected to be operational in 2021 while the elevated Line 3 will be completed one year later.

For this project, Dextra supplied more than 1,700 steel active anchors for stabilization of vertical retaining walls around the excavation area.

Dextra’s Geotec Steel Active Anchor is the preferred solution for excavation works where post-tensioning is required.

The anchors are corrosion protected and based on high-tensile fully-threaded bars that help prevent deformation of the retained structure.

After the construction of Pune Metro UG04 is completed, the underground station at Swargate will be a strategic part of a multimodal transit hub connecting to the city bus services and parking facilities for private vehicles.
