Central Railway Earthwork & Bridge Tender, Maharashtra

Earthwork, a minor bridge or two, building work and utility shifting — Central Railway’s Nagpur engineering wing has bundled it into one ₹ 74.22 crore tender at the Pulgaon and Dhamangaon yards, and bids close on 13 July 2026.

Scope of work.

The contract pulls several civil trades into a single package: earthwork in formation, minor bridge work, building work, and shifting of utility structures such as platforms and COP (cover over platform). The tender documents point to the Pulgaon and Dhamangaon yards on Central Railway’s Nagpur division in Maharashtra, so it reads like yard remodelling and formation work tied to capacity upgrades. At ₹ 74.22 crore it’s a meaty railway-civil job, and it sits with the Deputy Chief Engineer (Construction), Nagpur.

Who should look at this.

Contractors approved for railway civil work, or those with solid formation and bridge experience, are the target bidders. The EMD is ₹ 1.48 crore and there’s no tender fee. Railway formation work runs to tight tolerances and safety rules near running lines, so a bidder who has handled blanketing, cutting and minor bridges before will be comfortable. If you’re a machine owner rather than a main contractor, the earthwork and haulage volumes here make good sub-contract or hire work.

Earthmoving and bridge kit.

Formation work is your bread and butter on this one. Bring excavators for cutting and bridge foundations, dozers and motor graders to shape the formation, soil compactors and rollers for blanketing layers, and a fleet of tippers to move spoil and blanketing material. The minor bridges and COP shifting call for hydra or crawler cranes and a small concrete set-up with mixers. Keep a couple of machines spare for the utility-shifting work, which often has to happen in short traffic blocks.
