The Statue of Unity, an architectural marvel dedicated to the nation by Prime Minister Narendra Modi as a tribute to Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, is the tallest statue in the world and the quickest to be completed in just 33 months, says infrastructure giant Larsen & Toubro.
At 182 metres from the road entry and 208.5 metres from the river entry, the iconic statue is taller than the 153 m Spring Temple Buddha in China and almost twice the height of the world-famous Statue of Liberty in New York.
"At 182 meters (597 feet), the steel, concrete and brass-clad statue is the tallest in the world and Larsen & Toubro is proud to have constructed it in a record time of 33 months," the engineering giant which built the mega statue said.
Built at a cost of Rs 2,989 crore, the Statue of Unity project, barring bronze cladding which is a fragment of the mammoth work, has been done indigenously, L&T said. The statue is located approximately 3.5 km downstream from the Sardar Sarovar Dam, on Sadhu Hill on the bed of the Narmada river.
It devoured 180,000 cu m of cement concrete, 18,500 tonnes of reinforced steel, 6,500 tonnes of structured steel, 1,700 tonnes of bronze and 1,850 tonnes of bronze cladding, the conglomerate said.
