CROSSING (ERR)
SYNOPSIS
Level crossings are locations of potential accident
& safety hazards. To achieve Zero accident target
we have to eliminate all U/M LC
Subways, outright closure & diverting the road
traffic to adjacent Subway/ROB/Manned LC are
being adopted as means to eliminate U/M LC &
ROB/RUB are constructed in lieu of manned LC.
an effort has been made to find an alternate to
eliminate U/M LCs by way of constructing low
cost ROB hereby termed as Elevated Road-
cum-Rail Crossing (ERR).

3. DIVERTING THE ROAD THROUGH
ADJACENT MANNED LC/ SUBWAY:
SOLUTION:
ERR crossing is more suitable for eliminating
both
manned & unmanned LCs located at shallow /
deep cuttings since necessity for longer
ERR- RCC Box
Span width of RCC Box : 5.44m for single line.
Barrel length: 6.0m (app)
VC - Height of RCC Box: 7.0m (top of bottom slab to
bottom of top slab)
Thickness of bottom slab: 550mm.
Thickness of RCC Box wall & top slab: 500mm.
Leveling coarse & sand filling thickness below base
slab:150- 200mm.
Road work at approaches: Gravel filling, soling
200mm, sub-base course 150mm, base course
100mm, bituminous top 50mm.
Galvanized W Beam Crash Barrier at the approach
roads to act as parapet wall.
1. RCC Tunnel Box proper
Prior to line block
i.Pre Casting of bottom slab of RCC box in segments of
width 1.272/1.90m
ii.Pre casting of box segments 1.272m in length and as
per the size/cross section
During line block
i.Dismantling of track to the required length
ii.Earth work excavation to the depth of 1.0m (app)
iii.Providing base course with sand filling for a depth of
150- 200mm
iv.Erection of precast RCC box bottom slabs in
segments & in staggered form
v.Erection of precast box segments by heavy duty cranes
With line blocks of short duration, the entire work can
be completed.
2. Approach Road & Reinforced Earth
Retaining Structures
Steps involved:
i. Excavation (sub-clause 3103.1/MORT&H)
ii. Foundation Preparation (sub-clause
3103.2/MORT&H)
iii. Erection (sub-clause 3103.3/MORT&H)
iv. Facia Batter (sub-clause 3103.4/MORT&H)
v. Orientation of Soil reinforcing Element (sub-clause
3103.5/MORT&H)
vi. Backfill Placement (sub-clause 3103.6/MORT&H)
vii. Drainage (sub-clause 3103.7/MORT&H)
ADVANTAGE OF ERR (TUNNEL BOX TYPE)
1. No land acquisition is involved.
2. Wherever the embankment height is less,
provision of this elevated crossings (ERR) are
very much suitable.
3. Local authority may give consent readily.
4. Speedy construction at optimum cost.
5. No drainage problems.
6. No major equipments are required.
7. Duration of line block required may be less.
8. Widening of road, easing out road gradient etc., at
a future date is possible.
DISADVANTAGE / CONSTRAINTS :
Thank
you.!
