What is the purpose of a Limited Height Subway (LHS)?

 A Limited Height Subway is constructed to provide safe road passage under railway lines, eliminating level crossings and ensuring smooth traffic flow.

What is the typical height of an LHS?

Generally, LHS are constructed with a clearance height of around 3 to 3.5 meters, suitable for light motor vehicles, two-wheelers, and pedestrians.

How long does it take to construct an LHS?

Depending on the site conditions and scale, construction can take between 3 to 6 months, with precast methods significantly reducing time.

How is waterlogging managed in an LHS?

Proper drainage systems, including pumps and underground pipelines, are installed to prevent water accumulation.

Why should one choose RS Construction for LHS projects?
