On 27th June 2025, the B.Tech Civil Engineering students from Darshan University participated in an insightful field visit to the Railway Over Bridge (ROB) construction site in Rajkot. This visit was a key part of their practical learning experience aimed at bridging the gap between academic knowledge and real-world applications.
During the visit, students explored several crucial aspects of bridge construction, including:
-
Deck slab reinforcement techniques
-
Installation of neoprene rubber bearings between the deck and piers
-
Bridge abutments and their structural significance
-
Cast-in-situ girder casting yard operations
-
Post-tensioning processes using tendons
-
Pier location fixing using advanced surveying tools like the Total Station
Students also had the opportunity to review detailed structural drawings and plans for various bridge components. These were thoroughly explained by Mr. Hemendra Kotak, Additional City Engineer at Rajkot Municipal Corporation, who guided the students throughout the visit.
This field experience enriched the students' understanding of modern construction techniques and provided a closer look at civil infrastructure development in an urban setting.
