Kunal Bhagwat, pursuing a Master of Science in Construction Management degree at Texas A&M’s College of Architecture, was working as a site engineer for the Hindustan Construction Company in April 2008 when he took an unusual journey.
The company is working on the gigantic Bandra-Worli Sea Link project in Mumbai, India. Kunal, whose company is building the link, rode on a crew basket high above one of the bridge’s pylons and snapped a photo of the scene. His photo appeared in the Jan. 5 issue of the Engineering News Record.
Bhagwat now works at the college’s Office of Student Services.
When finished, the link will be just over 3 miles long and is expected to relieve traffic congestion in Mumbai.
