The site is equipped with a state-of-the-art concrete laboratory, which includes facilities for Water Permeability and Rapid Chloride Penetration Tests. Furthermore, each base slab is being constructed using M-60 grade temperature-controlled concrete, produced by on-site batching and chiller plants.
The station is designed to reach a depth of approximately 26 meters below ground level and will feature three levels: platform, concourse, and service floor. In total, the station will have six platforms, each extending about 415 meters in length.
