Multi-level Automated Car Parking
Introduction
With the existing car parks, especially in areas which cater to huge crowds, failing to accommodate the growing population of cars, it has become imperative to come up with more efficient parking solutions. In this regard, multi-level automated car parking is seen as effective in tackling the issue of parking.
Keeping this in mind the New Delhi Municipal Council (NDMC) has proposed to build a multi-level car parking each at Sarojini Nagar and Baba Kharag Singh Marg. DIMTS has been appointed as the Independent Engineer for the same.
What is multi-level automated car parking?
A multi-level car parking is essentially a building with number of floors or layers for the cars to be parked. The different levels are accessed through interior or exterior ramps. An automated car parking has mechanized lifts which transport the car to the different levels. Therefore, these car parks need less building volume and less ground space and thus save on the cost of the building. It also does away the need for employing too many personal to monitor the place.
In an automated multi-level car parking, the cars are left at the entrance and are further transported inside the building by robot trolley. Similarly, they are retrieved by the trolley and placed at the exit for the owner to drive away.
Multi-level automated car parking at Sarojini Nagar and Baba Kharag Singh Marg
The Sarojini Nagar parking will be of eight floors with the ground and the first reserved for shopping/ commercial complex and the rest dedicated for parking. It will have a parking capacity for 824 vehicles.
The Baba Kharag Singh Marg parking will be of nine floors with the ground and first reserved for shopping and the rest for parking. The parking capacity is 1408 vehicles.
These automated parkings will have car lifts, pallets, computerized control systems etc. that will be operational round the clock.
Both parkings will have a basement level for the entry of cars from where they will be taken up by car lifts as well as for the other mechanical services.

Link Road from Press Enclave Marg to Outer Ring Road
Introduction
A high level of traffic congestion on the JB Tito Marg was chocking the intersection formed by MB Road, Dr. Ambedkar Road and the Outer Ring Road from JB Tito Marg. In addition there was a network aberration in terms of north – south connectivity across Outer Ring Road between Chirag Delhi and Outer Ring Road from Khelgaon Marg intersections (a distance of 2200m as against an average distance 1100 m). Coupled with these issues was the possibility of the traffic load increasing manifold on Press Enclave Marg due to the developments taking place along the east-west corridor.
A solution to all these multiple traffic congestion problems was seen in constructing a link road from Press Enclave Marg to Outer Ring Road.
Apart from the above DIMTS also building FOBs at three locations on the BRT corridor – namely at Pushp Vihar, Ambedkar Nagar T-Point and Chirag Delhi Village. Work is underway for all three FOBs.
DIMTS Role
DIMTS is the Project Management Consultant for this project.
Current Status
Awaiting allotment of land for construction.
