Bhubaneswar: An innovative type of residential accommodation for railway staff at Jakhpura Railway Station under Khurda Road Division of East Coast Railway (ECoR) has emerged as an engineering marvel. This beautiful 3-storeyed building with minimal expenditure of Rs. 2.27 crore has been constructed within record four months of time with the use of pre-fabricated released materials with steel structure and expanded poly styrene wall panelling.

In normal course of time, it would take at least one and half to construct this building. This building has structure without conventional system of construction and it is fire proof, an official statement released by the ECoR said.

Architectural elevation has been given by plastering this G+2 storied building. While inspecting the Jakhpura Railway Station, Umesh Singh, General Manager of East Coast Railway has appreciated efforts of the engineers of Khurda Road Division in constructing this building within a record time of fpur months only. The building has 33 isolated footings as foundation with highest quality column/beam and slab work. The rooms have been tiled and flush doors provided. This environment-friendly project has ensured that not a single tree has been cut and there is provision of rain water harvesting.

After construction of this building the railway staff working nearby Jakhapura area will be greatly benefited. Railway employees are booked every day to operate from the Jakhapura station. At present, the employees are residing at Jajpur Keonjhar Road, which is 15 kms away from Jakhapura. It will save time in getting off and going down to the place of work and will also help to save the reduced efficiency of staff and delay of trains.

More such environment-friendly quarters will be built in the near future.
