Successful Execution of Fire Fighting System at 3 Mumbai Metro 3 Stations: Seepz, Andheri MIDC, and Marol Naka
We at Elixir Engineering Pvt. Ltd. are proud to announce the successful completion and commissioning of the fire-fighting system at three stations of Mumbai Metro 3 (Seepz, Andheri MIDC, and Marol Naka). With these systems now fully operational, the stations are ready for the commencement of metro operations, having been equipped to meet the highest safety standards.
In a landmark achievement, we became the first contractor to obtain the crucial Fire No Objection Certificate (NOC) for the Mumbai Metro 3 project. Securing the Fire NOC is a vital step, as operations of any public infrastructure, especially one as crucial as the metro, cannot begin without this clearance. The fire systems installed by us have passed rigorous testing, including pumping systems, hydrants, and sprinklers, ensuring the complete safety of both passengers and the metro infrastructure.
Overcoming Challenges with Expertise
Working 100 feet below ground, particularly in the undercroft (below the platform) section, presented numerous challenges. The space houses a multitude of utilities and required precise installation of the fire hydrant system that extends through both tunnels (up and down directions). The tight work environment, combined with the high safety requirements, demanded meticulous planning and execution.
Our dedicated team of engineers, headed by Md. Shahnawaz and ably supported by Sanjay Pal, Eldrin D’Souza, Deobrat Chauhan and Mohammed Suhagpurwala, worked in close coordination with MMRCL (Mumbai Metro Rail Corporation Limited), the end-user of the project, as well as STEC (the General Contractor) and MAPLE (Project Management Consultant), to ensure compliance with all safety regulations.
Commitment to Safety
Our safety standards are at the core of our operational philosophy, and our commitment to safety ensured that there were zero lost-time incidents throughout the nearly two-year project duration. This was achieved by adhering to the stringent safety protocols set by MMRCL, STEC, MAPLE, and our internal safety team.
Looking Ahead
We are honored to have contributed to the infrastructure that will benefit millions of Mumbai residents. We stand ready to continue our mission of delivering world-class services and playing a vital role in making Mumbai Metro a “CLEAN, GREEN, and SAFE” urban transportation solution.
We are proud to be part of the project and are excited to see the positive impact it will have on the city’s transit landscape.
