Road Under Bridges & Subways
RCC boxes built by cut-and-cover, or cast beside the formation and pushed into place by jacking and rolling while trains keep running overhead.

Box pushing beneath live track. PSC girders launched across rivers. Station buildings raised while trains keep arriving. Delivered for South Central, Southern and South Western Railway.
Who we are
KCK Infra Projects is a railway civil contractor based in Kadapa, Andhra Pradesh, working across South India since 2010. Our structures sit under and over running track, and every one of them has to be handed back to the Railway inside a sanctioned block, to gauge, on schedule.
Founded and led by Sri K. Subba Rami Reddy, the firm works as a proprietorship, a partnership and through joint ventures depending on the scale of the package.
How it is done
A road under bridge cannot close the railway. The box is built beside the track and moved into position inside a block of a few hours. Scroll through the sequence.
Excavation begins either side of the formation while the line stays open. In rock, that means controlled breaking within metres of a running track, with the embankment supported throughout.
RCC box segments are cast on a prepared bed alongside the formation, clear of traffic. Reinforcement, shuttering and curing all happen off the track, so the critical work is ready before any block is taken.
Inside a sanctioned traffic block the track is supported on released rails, and the box is jacked and rolled into its final position under the line. This is the hour that decides the job.
Track is relaid and packed to gauge, the line is handed back, and the approach roads, wing walls and drainage are completed. The level crossing is gone for good.
What we build
We do not spread across sectors. Everything here is railway civil work, and everything here we have built and handed over.

Every package in our record carries a work completion certificate issued by the Railway. Available on request.
Our largest package ran nineteen structures across six sections simultaneously — parallel fronts, crews and plant, one programme.
