About This Project
Metal Core Limited was contracted by IRCON International Ltd. to deliver the supply, fabrication, and erection of passenger platform sheds across 8 railway stations — along with foot-over bridges at 2 key stations — as part of the Khulna-Mongla Port Rail Line Project in Bangladesh.
The project required precision engineering to meet railway-grade structural standards, with all steel components fabricated at our Narshingdi factory and erected on-site within a 9-month delivery window.
This project stands as one of Metal Core Limited’s landmark infrastructure achievements, demonstrating our capacity to deliver large-scale, multi-site government and international-grade contracts.
CHALLENGE
The Problem We Solved.
Coordinating simultaneous structural steel erection across 8 geographically spread railway stations — each with active rail traffic — required strict sequencing, precision logistics, and adherence to Bangladesh Railway safety protocols.
All work had to be completed without disrupting the operational rail corridor.
SOLUTION
How Metal Core Delivered.
We implemented a phased fabrication schedule — completing all components at our factory before mobilising to each station in sequence. This allowed parallel progress across sites and minimised on-site disruption.
Dedicated site supervisors at each station ensured quality control, timeline adherence, and seamless coordination with IRCON’s railway operations team.
