Faced with the task of identifying bridges and flyovers that are in dire need for repairs, the civic body is considering using the devices that the Mumbai Metro Rail Corporation (MMRC) employs to check the impact of high-intensity construction work on surrounding structures.

The MMRC is currently using around 20 monitoring devices, such as the vibrometre, to check the intensity of the vibrations caused by blasting operations and heavy drilling, which further helps them measure the impact on adjacent structures. MMRC decided to use the devices after questions were raised on the safety of hundreds of structures due to its underground Colaba-Bandra-SEEPZ line.
