MRVC Uses RO-RO Trolley on Railway Tracks for Virar-Dahanu Project Construction
The Mumbai Railway Vikas Corporation (MRVC) has innovatively used a Roll-On Roll-Off (RO-RO) trolley to transport construction materials for the Virar-Dahanu quadrupling project across marshy, inaccessible terrain near the Vaitarna River. This trolley, placed on existing railway tracks, carries up to 50 metric tonnes and bypasses the need for conventional roads, which were unfeasible due to environmental and geographical constraints. The approach has enabled continuous construction while minimizing environmental disruption and avoiding costly temporary roads.
