Contract advisory for Gandhinagar station redevelopment

Wed, September 11, 2019 Advisory

The Gandhinagar Railway & Urban Development Corporation Limited (GARUD) is redeveloping the existing Gandhinagar Railway Station to upgrade it into a state-of-art facility with upgraded and modern public conveniences, separation of arrival and departure functions and integrated pedestrian subways. The project also involves utilizing the air rights above station for development of hospitality and allied uses. The construction technology employed aims at achieving greater efficiency and strength and causing minimum disturbance to continued functioning of railway services.

CRDF is advising GARUD on administering the Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) contracts to ensure timely execution of the project. The role includes monitoring compliances to contract documents, recommending corrective actions for non-compliance of tender stipulations and assisting GARUD to manage changes in scope of work arising due to design changes or other reasons. Currently the project is in early stages of construction.
