Agra: Agra Metro Rail Project’s corridor has been certified with ISO 14001 for Environment Management and ISO 45001 for Safety Management.

United Registrar of Systems at Noida, affiliated with UKAS of the United Kingdom has recommended the Agra metro rail project for fulfilling all the standard requirements for ISO 14001 and ISO 45001.

This certificate has been recommended after a rigorous audit by a team of auditors after a physical inspection of all the procedures, activities, and records.

The whole corridor 1 of the Agra Metro Rail Project is planned for this prestigious certification in the future as the construction gets completed.

Meanwhile, achieving yet another milestone in a set timeline, team Agra Metro has completed the track laying work for the whole priority stretch including the elevated and the underground section.

This marks the completion of the track work for both up and down lines for the underground section, as the track work for the elevated station is already complete and train trials are being conducted successfully.

MD UPMRC Sushil Kumar said, “Timely execution of the track work for the underground section of Agra Metro marks yet another achievement and this indicates that we will be able to complete our project well before the original deadline which was August 2024.”

The finishing work on the underground stations of the priority stretch is being done at a rapid pace and the signaling and utility works have also reached an advanced stage.

It is to be noted that the underground section for the priority stretch of the Agra Metro Rail Project has been completed in a record time of 11 months which is the fastest tunnel construction for any project.
