Salasar Techno Engineering Limited, a leading engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) player in India’s telecom, power transmission and infrastructure sectors, has designed, fabricated and supplied 2,085 metric tonnes (mt) of composite steel girders for 8 spans of Delhi’s Barapullah Phase-III elevated corridor near Hazrat Nizamuddin Railway Station.
Salasar’s spans range from approximately 30-45 m in length, with a uniform width of 14.85 m centre-to-centre. Individual span weights vary from approximately 142 mt to 394 mt, reflecting the differing load and geometry requirements across the corridor’s approach and crossing sections. The fabrication began on June 07, 2024, and girder dispatch ran from August 17, 2024 to February 14, 2025, covering all 8 spans. Approximately 150 personnel were deployed for fabrication over the course of the project.
The Barapullah Phase-III corridor includes an extradosed crossing over the Yamuna, a hybrid between a conventional girder bridge and a cable-stayed bridge that uses shorter pylons with cable support to carry longer spans. In such structures, the girder itself, and not just the cables, carries a significant share of the load, making tight quality control and precision tolerances central to the fabrication process. Salasar’s scope covered design, fabrication and supply of the composite steel girders.
“Fabricating composite steel girders for a landmark Delhi corridor reflects the depth of our engineering and manufacturing capabilities, said Shashank Agarwal, Managing Director, Salasar Techno Engineering Limited. “It speaks to our fabrication precision, our delivery discipline across a dispatch schedule spanning several months, and our commitment to Make in India engineering.”
The project further reinforces Salasar Techno Engineering Limited’s position as a diversified EPC and manufacturing partner supporting India’s critical infrastructure development. With capabilities spanning telecom, power transmission and distribution, railways, renewable energy and customised steel structures, the company continues to expand its presence across infrastructure segments while leveraging its integrated manufacturing and engineering capabilities.
