Nagpur recently got Zero Mile Freedom Park metro station and mind you it is not an ordinary metro station. It is a multi-storied commercial building with multi-level underground parking and a concourse level below the platform level. However, there are a lot more features that make this metro station extraordinary. Read on!

At Zero Mile station the track structure is coupled with the building structure which reduces the vibrations generated from the train rolling wheels. Because of the structure, it creates no rumbling noise or disturbance. To mitigate the vibration levels in the building, they have also installed floating track slabs on steel spring isolators.

This type of floating track slab has been installed for the first time in the Indian metro railway system. What’s more, the slab is a maintenance-free system and with a design life of 75 years.
