CMRL Officials to launch the monitoring of Heritage Building

The reluctance of CMRL to share data pertaining to building settlement, ground settlement, tilt, vibration measurement and water level has been allegedly due to the failure of the contractor to “install equipment to measure vibration on the heritage building”.Because of some collaboration occurs in the construction period, archaeological or historic resources may potentially be affected by direct or indirect construction activity. Prior to the initiation of construction, general consultant intends to review a resource protection plan for historic structures. The plan will identify sensitive resources as well as specify monitoring requirements.
The CMRL is said to request the authorities to monitor the requirements may include ground vibration monitoring and recording any components inadvertently subjected to impact. We are cautious as heritage buildings are delicate structures. We do not have Indian standard codes for such data through their agency.
