Hello everyone.
I would like to introduce MonoMetro to BridgeHawk Members as an appropriate creative forum for architects, civil engineers and city transport planners alike who are interested in moving forward beyond the limitations of conventional railways.
MonoMetro was designed in response to the UK Government White Paper calling for New Technology for a New Metro for London.
To step into the future the project brought together leading professionals, consultants captains of industry, architects and designers, to establish a remedy to the expense of railway construction costs that have inflated beyond expectation.
MonoMetro is electrically powered mass transport for new locations and retrofitting into existing cities.
By separating railways from civil infrastructure, that is separating railway track from its roadbed whether running through the countryside, through tunnels or along elevated structures, including stations, the proportion of construction cost budget allocated to infrastructure is greatly changed.
MonoMetro redirects the proportion of the budget spent on extraneous infrastructure to the immediate structure supporting the track. By reconfiguring rails and bogies to sit directly on the flange of steel I beams, the cost of excessive bridge structures is eliminated and columns supporting the system take on the appearance of architecture that is the language of the urban environment.The system is a kit of mass manufacturable components, that can be planned and installed in a similar way to street lighting, quickly and without any fuss.
MonoMetro is the urban mass transport transport system of the future with the ability to significantly increase urban economic growth in congested places that could not possibly be reached by conventional railways while additionally addressing the problem of rising seawater in coastal cities bringing urban mass transport to communities that cannot afford conventional
railways .
MonoMetro civil engineering and reconfigured railway technology based on proven steel on steel rolling interface geometry between wheels and track is set to propel the growth of the world economy for the next century!
