This can still be at the concept stage, but there are already plans that raise How to cross under the sea more than 1800 kilometers on board the train, which applies to 1000 km/hThe route connects the two powers in a full commercial boom and is aimed at changing the method of movement of goods, resources and people.
This Underwater infrastructure With concrete tubes, floating platforms and air ducts for all types of traffic. Inside a Bullet trainAlmost as quickly as the plane, with a special business under the waters of the Arab Sea. The idea on the table has one of the countries that invests most in colossal engineering.
Futuristic tunnel that connects Mumbai to Fujaira under the sea
The first draft signed this National Consultant Bureuau LimitedThe Massara office, known for launched such offers as icebergs, towing from the Antarctica to the Oman Bay. In 2018, he dared with a new one: join the Indian city Mumbai And the emirate FujairahField
According to the infographic distributed by the company itself, the structure will be built with Two flooded concrete tubesSuspended using floating structures. As an alternative, they are considered directly to the seabed.
Dimensions are an integral part of the plan. The layout will cover more than 1800 kilometers under the sea and will allow them to travel two or three hoursThanks to the technology of magnetic or similar levitational trains with the ability to distribute from 600 to 1000 km/h.
The interior of the tunnel will be Separated: Trains with high speed, another for goods and several channels for transporting oil, gas and fresh water. The lower compartments will work as pipes for combining strategic resources between the two countries.
Musson water to the desert and oil back to Asia
One of the outstanding points of the project is the possibility Transportation of excess water from the Narmada RiverIn India, to the United Arab Emirates. According to the authors, this pool is overflowing during Musson, and the water could Send the tunnel to the Arabian PeninsulaWhere it is not enough.
And vice versa, the system will allow Oil export From Fujyira to the Indian coast. In addition, it is considered installation Swimming fuel stations Among the clamp points to supply ships that cross the region.
Although today it is still at the conceptual stage, the idea attracted the attention of international media in the first years. In 2021, publications such as India Infrahub They collected how Abdullah Alshekhidirector National Bureau of ConsultantsHe presented the advantages of the project at the Economic Forum dedicated to India-E-Emirates. At this meeting, the businessman explained that “the tunnel will help strengthen trade between the countries of the Persian Gulf and India.”
The main layout will move from Mumbai to Fujyira, but the company also raises The second connection between the port of Emirati and HavadarIn Pakistan, which will reduce the trip to an hour. In both cases, the train will pass under the sea, protect against storms and with a sufficient separation between the ducts to ensure navigation on the surface.
A great technical task is to materials, maintenance and costs
Plans are also considered Reinforcement in the materials To resist sea pressure, avoid corrosion of salt water and provide continuous monitoring. Maintenance will be key in such a complex environment, with Specialized equipment and constant security protocolsField
The costs, like predictable, will be billionaires. Experts quoted in specialized media suggest that “investments will be so high that it is justified only by the strategic value that it will provide.”
Today there is no official permits or final viability studies. Nevertheless, the interest that caused the proposal made him talk about him as the infrastructure can change the commercial dynamics of the future.
Although many doubt that this is materialized, their drivers trust that if technical achievements and financing are accompanied become a reality until 2035Field
