Project Overview
The Dhaka Metro Rail Infrastructure Development project represents one of the most significant urban transportation initiatives in Bangladesh's history. This comprehensive project encompasses the design, construction, and implementation of a modern metro rail system that will revolutionize public transportation in Dhaka, addressing the city's growing traffic congestion and providing a sustainable, efficient transit solution for millions of commuters.
Challenge
Dhaka faces severe traffic congestion with over 20 million people in the metropolitan area. The existing transportation infrastructure was inadequate, leading to significant economic losses due to time wastage, environmental pollution, and reduced quality of life. The challenge was to design and build a modern metro system that could handle high passenger volumes while minimizing disruption to the existing urban fabric.
Solution
Gulf Bangla Consortium developed an integrated solution combining advanced engineering, smart technology, and sustainable construction practices. Our approach included elevated track systems to minimize ground-level disruption, smart station designs with passenger flow optimization, integration with existing transportation networks, and implementation of energy-efficient systems throughout the entire network.
