3 TRACK MAINTENANCE PLAN AND MAINTENANCE ORGANISATION

3.2 Track Maintenance Plan:

3.2.1 The objective of this Maintenance Plan is to provide the frame work and guidelines that will be followed by the contractor to ensure that the scope, planning and execution of the tasks required to monitor the track system are defined and affected in a controlled and structured manner. 3.2.2 The track maintenance inspection cycle is centred upon Preventive Maintenance. 3.2.3 Preventive Maintenance is pre-planned and performed to uphold the condition of the track. 3.2.4 Should there be a failure reported on the track work plant during the operating hours of the revenue service then corrective maintenance is carried out to address the failure. Corrective maintenance is carried out with least possible interruption to the revenue service. 3.2.5 The maintenance inspection Cycle flow diagram in Figure 3.1 provides the systematic approach to Track work Maintenance Philosophy.

8 SYSTEMATIC INSPECTION and MAINTENANCE OF PERMANET WAY ASSETS

8.1 Inspection of concrete plinths/slabs and drainage:

a) Systematic Inspection of concrete slab/plinth has to be carried out in a phased manner from one end to other end which includes defect with exposed reinforced plinth/slab, anchor bolt feels loose, crack on plinth/slab, damages to plinth/slabs and obstruction if any from track slab/plinth to viaduct drainage.

8.2 Repair Methodology

a) In the event of any damage to track support and fastening systems, the operation and maintenance team will survey the extent of the damage to all components of the fastening system and track support structures (Plinth/Slab). This should include a full inspection of all of the following:

 Concrete plinth  Baseplate  Hold down components  Fastenings b) If any of the above is damaged to the extent that the track support has been compromised, then corrective action will need to be taken. Where fastening system components have been damaged, the appropriate action is detailed below.

a) Any damage to the concrete plinth must be repaired before the replacement of the hold down assemblies.

A. Damage to Baseplates or Clips Any damaged components identified in the survey should be replaced with identical components. Existing undamaged components can be re-used as necessary.

B. Damage to Hold Down Components The damage brought about by a derailment could easily cause hold down components to become loose, bent or broken. If the system uses cast-in inserts and bolts, then any damaged bolts can be replaced. However if using cast-in studs, any damaged studs should be replaced using a drill and grout technique, with the location of the new holes depending on the extent of the damage.

The ideal solution is to replace the studs in their original location. This is done as follows:

1. So far as possible, remove all components from the affected plinth/slab. 2. Undertake any necessary repair work to the plinth to a standard acceptable to local regulations, 3. Ensuring no voids will be left under the baseplate 4. If the stud to be replaced is bent, this will have to be cut off using an angle grinder or disc 5. Cutter to allow the core drill to fit over

57 of 154. 6. Mark the location of centre of the new bolt 7. Use a 30mm Core Drill, fix it in the correct position, drill a new hole to a depth below the anchor bolt spline ends.

Figure: Typical diagram of Core Drilling Equipment arrangement

The above diagram showing typical core drilling equipment located over baseplate to remove damage anchor bolt. Location and attachment to support the drill will vary depending on the track structure type.

Figure : Example of Rail Mounted Drilling Unit

8. The final baseplate, or a dummy baseplate, can be used as a guide to ensure the correct bolt location.

9. Using a rapid curing epoxy grout, or any proven high performance injection adhesive, insert the new hold down bolt, following all appropriate instructions specified by the grout supplier.

58 of 154. 10. Allow sufficient time for the grout to cure at the ambient temperature, as specified by the grout supplier.

11. Once the grout has cured, the fastening system can be reassembled and the hold down components tightened to the correct torque of 150Nm. Any components that were not damaged in the derailment can be reused as necessary.

12. If the damage is such that replacing the baseplate in the original location is not feasible, the baseplate can be fixed as close to its original position as possible. Once new hole positions have been confirmed, the baseplate can be installed as detailed in steps 4-9 above.

Installation Method – Typical for Phase 1

The 13145-C Double resilient baseplate assembly is installed in Chennai Metro Trackwork by using “Top Down” construction method with cast-in, splayed end anchor studs/bolts, held in position by a “dummy” plate which controls the verticality of the bolts. After sufficient curing time, the construction plate is removed to leave the following situation. Please note that on curves of less than 1000m, four anchor bolts are used instead of two.

Figure Plinth/Slab Concrete Surface-Pre Installation

1. The concrete surface should have a flat, even finish, free from voids or other inconsistencies. A 3mm LLDPE conforming shim has to be used under the assembly to improve the surface and compensate for any minor irregularities in the concrete finish.

2. The 14613 baseplate Pad is then placed over the bolts, followed by the 13146 baseplate. Install the 12683 eccentric bushes by placing them over the bolts into the correct setting, ensuring the up stands on the baseplate are fully located in the notches on the bush. On initial installation, the black 12683 bush is set with the ‘0’ Zero position on the triangular mark

59 of 154. 3. Place a 10108 compression spring over each stud, followed by the 12740 plastic washers, and finally a 12791 M27 Nyloc nut. Tighten the nuts until each compression spring has a vertical dimension of 34.5mm ±0.5mm. The concrete must have sufficiently cured before any of the nuts is tightened.

4. Insert the 14614 rail pad in the rail seat, and then the rail can then be placed back in the rail seat. The appropriate insulators are than installed either side of the rail. Upon initial installation, two 8mm thick black 5720 insulators are used. If lateral adjustment is needed, these insulators may be changed to insulators 8604 and 8605 as discussed. Once all these components are in place, the two e2007 rail clips can be installed. The baseplate should be square to the rail, with all components held tightly.

Clip Installation and Extraction with Hand Tools

The installation of the e2007 clip is undertaken using a Type D Pan puller (Part number LP7632). The hook on the pan puller should be checked for wear every 6 months, using a pan puller Hook Wear gauge (Part number 3-P6536). Worn hooks have an increased tendency to slip off clips during installation and extraction and should be replaced immediately.

E-Clip Installation

To install e-Clip, simply follow the 5 steps below,

1. Insert the clip into the shoulder on the baseplate, with the toe of the clip over the insulator. 2. Position the hook in the upper hole on the pan puller 3. Place the hook over the top of the main arch of the clip, as shown in the picture to the right, with the foot of the Pan puller on the baseplate, against the shoulder. 4. Take up a stable standing position behind the Pan puller with both hands on the T-shaped handle. 5. Pull firmly towards the chest until the whole of the straight stem of the clip is inside the shoulder.

Clip Extraction

Clip extraction uses the same tool, but in the opposite direction

1. Position the hook in the lower hole on the Pan puller 2. Place the hook over the main arch of the clip, with the small notch on the bottom of the Pan puller on the shoulder as shown. 3. Take up a stable standing position behind the Pan puller with both hands on the T-shaped handle 4. Ensure nobody is immediately behind you; pull firmly into your chest until the clip is removed.

Gauge Adjustment

A standard 13145C assembly allows for up to ±3mm per rail seat, using the adjustability of the eccentric bush. Additional +/- 2 mm lateral adjustment is available through differential insulators.

The 12683 eccentric bushes have 7 settings from -3 to +3. Initially this bush should be set at 0 as shown in the picture below. The bush setting is indicated by the position of the triangular mark circled in red.

Please note that the same setting should be applied on all the bushes on a single assembly. If the insulators have to be changed, remove the clips, replace the insulators and then reinstall the clips.

Height Adjustment

Height adjustment is achieved by introducing shims under the resilient baseplate pad in accordance with drawing 15824 issue B by combinations of 2mm, 3mm and 5mm shims up to a maximum of 12mm above the conforming shim (where used to suit construction method).

2mm shims shall be manufactured from mild steel and shall be corrosion protected if necessary for the environment.

3mm and 5 mm shims shall be manufactured from HDPE material.

Shims Mounting Arrangement

9. TRACK GEOMETRY 9.1 Track Tolerances

a) For the safe, smooth and comfortable running of vehicles over the track, it is necessary that track irregularities are kept to the bare minimum. The track parameters which have significant contribution in this respect are alignment, cross levels, twist, unevenness and gauge.

b) Even with the best system of the track construction and maintenance, it is practically impossible to ensure that all track parameters remain absolutely true to their requirements at all times. The variations which can be permitted to these parameters are termed as track tolerances, which are of various type and are designed to facilitate the decision making process in regard to steps to be taken.

63 of 154. 9.2 Threshold Values

a) The principle of adopting threshold values of various track tolerances could be adopted as under:

Comfort threshold TV Level Status desired after renewal or (Target Values) scheduled maintenance Safety threshold AV Level Quality becoming mediocre Correction (Action Values) required shortly SRV Level Normal running no longer permitted. (Speed restriction values)

Table 10.1

b) For each geometric parameter, safety values have been defined which are called speed restriction values (SRV) and if these are exceeded, speed restriction must be imposed on the trains. In order to preserve track performance and to guarantee safety, maintenance intervention must be launched before the SRV threshold is reached.

c) Threshold value AV (action value) makes it imperative to intervene within a relatively short period to avoid reaching the restriction value.

d) At the time of intervention or at laying, a level of quality following intervention is sought: that is the target value (TV).

Part 1-Rails 10.1 Rail Maintenance to reduce Rail Deterioration Efficient maintenance of rails results in increased service life of rails.

The following precautions/maintenance practices if observed will effectively reduce rail deterioration.

A. Reducing side wear on rails-(Gauge face of outer rails) I. On sharp curves where the tendency to wear on the outer rail is noticeable, lubricators should be installed or hand lubrication of gauge face should be done, care being taken not to apply the lubricant on the top of the table.

II. Increased life can be obtained by turning the rails when side wear reaches the permissible limit. At the time of turning, matching of rail ends on the gauge face should be ensured. Spot renewals should not be carried out with new rails particularly, if the heads of the existing rails are worn badly. These should be spot renewed with matching sections of serviceable rails.

10.2 Inspection of Rails in Service

The main function of the rail is to act as a hard and unyielding surface for the rigid tyre wheel.

The other prime functions are to act as a beam and transmit the load to the sleepers/concrete plinths, and to act with the wheel tyres in steering the vehicles to the desired direction.

Besides the above, the secondary function of the rail is to convey the return traction current and to carry electric current for signalling purposes in track circuited areas. Rails are, thus, the most important and critical component of the Permanent way.

The defects in rails may be due to manufacturing deficiencies, defects arising during service or defects generated due to a combination of manufacturing defects and service conditions. These defects are mainly on account of. - Material defects originating during the manufacturing process such as clusters of non-metallic inclusions, hydrogen flakes, rolling marks, guide marks etc. - Residual stresses induced during manufacture (Cooling, rolling, gag pressing and straightening) - Defects due to incorrect handling e.g. plastic deformation, scoring, denting etc. - Defects associated with faulty welding i.e. gas pores, lack of fusion, inclusions, cracks etc. - Dynamic stresses caused by vertical and lateral loads particularly by vehicles with wheel flats or when the vehicles run over the poorly maintained rail joints, etc. - Excessive thermal stresses due to variation in rail temperature beyond specified limits.

10.3 Rail Defects

- Rails are subjected to various defects both during the manufacturing process and in service life under traffic conditions.

- Rail defects may be located at rail ends, away from rail ends or in welding zones.

65 of 154. Characteristics and Appearance:

 Defect due to traffic loads;

 Extensive corrosion of the rail web may occur in special cases, due to the action of chemical substances in the air or water on particular lines or track sections, especially those in tunnels and on level crossings;

 It can also be electrochemical in nature;

 Rust shells break away gradually from the web and/or foot with which the thickness decreases steadily.

 This corrosion in the web and/or foot may cause the rail to break owing to reduction of the profile. Check in such cases that the break has not been caused by another defect.

 A further type of break originates in a small endurance crack located in the underside of the foot. This particular break, which is crescent-shaped and radiates from an etch pit occurs suddenly.

10.4 Lateral Wear 10.4.1 Characteristics and appearance:

 The lateral wear (or bevelling) of rails located on the outside stretches of curves results from rolling-stock stresses. In the same curve, this wear generally takes on a sinusoidal appearance with a minimum value at the level of the fish plated joints.

 The progression of lateral wear depends on the quality of rail lubrication to a very large extent.

 Lateral wear constitutes a defect when its extent is - Prejudicial to track maintenance (excessive gauge widening);

- Likely to cause breakage trough weakening of the profile (affecting the lower fillet of the head).

10.5 Vertical Wear

10.5.1 Characteristics and Appearance

 Defect due to traffic loads.

 Vertical wear results from rolling-stock stresses and progresses in line with the traffic load. Generally speaking, it is not a rail defect as such.

 However, abnormal vertical wear may occur on some rails. Its extent in such cases clearly exceeds the average wear noted on adjacent rails under similar conditions.

 This abnormal wear may cause breakage through weakening of the profile. (In such cases, check that breakage does not result from another defect).

10.5.2 Rail Head Horizontal Cracking

Precaution during Handling of Rails

Microstructure of higher UTS rail is different as percentage of carbon is too high and therefore, hardenability is more. Inorder to ensure that rail structure is not affected; following precautions are to be taken,

Flame Cutting Flame cutting shall be done only when it is un-avoidable. A minimum length of 100mm of either side of cut should be pre-heated to 250-350°C by uniform movement of heating torch before start of the cutting operation.

Cooling of Rails While carrying out heating and welding operations on 90 UTS /110 UTS rails, it should be ensured that after heating 90UTS/110 UTS rails above 700°C, rails are slowly cooled to 550 to 560°C.

Butting Load During flash butt welding of 90UTS/110 UTS rails, proper capacity butting load should be used because low capacity butting load increases the number of pre-heats, causing very pronounced heat affected zone.

Support of Rails In case of bending of rails (for manufacture of switches) proper wooden supports be provided to avoid dent or scar on bending line i.e. To avoid development of stress centre.

Drilling Holes No holes shall be drilled unless required for operational use and therefore, no fish plated joints should be provided in lead rail except for the end touching with crossing or switch.ie. Intermediate joints should be welded without making any hole.

10.5 Handling of Higher UTS Rails

Higher UTS rails (90 UTS and above) are sensitive to handling and require special precautions to avoid damage. The guidelines and instructions in this regard are given in a tabulated statement in the form of “Avoid” and “Ensure” as per Railway Board letter no Track/21/88/0908/7, dated 30-10-2006.

The following instructions regarding use of rail closures should be observed:

 Permanent closures in running lines should not be less than 6 meter in length

 Use of closures should be limited and reduced to the minimum possible.

 Closures should not be located near each other in the same portion of track or in proximity to points and crossings.

 Closures should be obtained by abrasive disc cutting and not by gas cutting.

 Closures should not be opposite to each other - rather should be staggered.

10.6 Rail Failures

10.6.1 Definition of a Rail Failure

A rail is said to have failed if it has fractured in track or it is considered necessary to remove it from track on account of defects other than those due to accidental damages like buckling, kinking, derailments, abnormal wheel burns etc.

10.6.1 Action to be taken in case of Rail failures

When a rail fails in track, action to be taken is as detailed below,

. Entry in the Permanent Way Inspector’s section registers.

. Preparation of a detailed report of the failure in cases where applicable as laid down.

. Detailed metallurgical investigation in cases, where applicable.

10.6.2 Register of Rail failures

All the cases of rail failures have to be entered in the section register by the SSE/ SE/JE (P.Way) . For this purpose all failures whether in running lines, points and crossing rails etc. and irrespective of type and age of the rails, have to be entered in the section register. This record is intended to serve as a basic record which should be available in the office of the SSE/SE/JE (P.Way) and will serve to furnish data, if required subsequently for any statistical analysis or for framing out proposals for track renewal works. Care should therefore be taken by JE/SE for filling up all the details. The Assistant Manager concerned shall call for the register once every year and initial the same in token of his perusal. 10.6.3 Fish Plates and Fish Bolts

Fish plates join two rails and hold them together both in the horizontal and vertical planes so as to ensure that the rail joint acts as one unit. They provide continuity of the joint and at the same time permit some longitudinal movement of individual rails.

Fish plates are held together by means of fish bolts and nuts. The holes in the fish plates are slightly larger than the bolts and the corresponding holes in the rails are larger than those in the fish plates. This arrangement allows for expansion and contraction of rails.

Fish plates shall conform to UIC-864-4 or IRS-T-1 specification. 10.6.4 Screw Clamps and Joggled Fish Plates

72 of 154. In the event of a fracture taking place in a rail or weld, screw clamps suitable for plinth/slab track and joggled fish plates are used as a measure of emergency repair.

The fractured rails are clamped in position to allow traffic to be passed at a restricted speed. Joggled fish plates are used when a welded rail joint fractures.

10.7 Chamfering Of Bolt Holes In Rails

A. General i) Chamfering of bolt holes work hardens the periphery of holes and thereby delays the formation of star cracks. Each drilled hole shall be chamfered.

ii) Existing bolt holes in fracture prone zones should be chamfered if not elongated. In case of elongated holes, the chamfering bit will not be in contact with the full edge of the bolt holes and there will be uneven hardening of the metal resulting in stress concentration in weaker- zones. Therefore, such portion of rail should be removed; holes should be drilled and chamfered.

A. Equipment For Chamfering Of Bolt Holes Work hardening of bolt holes should be done with chamfering kit of approved make. The chamfering kit consists of the following,

Equipment (as per Figure 4.84)

. High tensile bolt M-20 1 No. . High tensile nut for M-20 bolt 1 no. . Sets of 2 H.S.S. chamfering bits 1 set . 19mm sq. drive sockets size 32mm 8 Nos. . Set of 2 packing pieces (sleeves) 1 set . T-400 torque-wrench with built-in ratchet Mechanism 1.25m length 1 no.

B. Chamfering Selection

i) Chamfering of bolt holes in the welded rail panels should be done before despatch in the Flash Butt Welding Plants, if situation so warrants.

ii) When rails in track are end-cropped, new bolt holes should be chamfered at site.

iii) Bolt holes in new rails received directly from steel plant should be chamfered before rails are laid in track.

C. Procedure For Chamfering Of Bolt Holes

i) The nut of high tensile steel bolt is removed and one packing piece is inserted in the shank followed by one side of the H.S.S. chamfering bit.

ii) The high tensile steel bolt is inserted with 2 pieces in the rail hole.

73 of 154. iii) On the other face of the rail hole, the second half of the HSS chamfering bit is inserted over the shank followed by the second packing piece.

iv) The nut on the high tensile steel bolt is replaced.

v) Pre-set torque-wrench on nut at torque value of 52 Kg-m equivalent to an axial force of 12.5 tonnes, is applied. The nut is tightened with the torque wrench. As soon as the pre set torque is attained, the torque wrench will automatically trip indicating complete tightening to pre set torque value.

vi) The nut by reversing the torque wrench is unscrewed and HTS bolt is removed. The same process is repeated on other rail holes.

vii) Chamfering of each hole should be done under the supervision of Sr. Technician.

Part 2- Fastening System

11. General

In Ballastless track, also called plinth/slab track, rails are fixed directly to the concrete slab without any sleeper or ballast, with the help of specially designed elastic fastenings. In conventional track, the impact forces of running track are absorbed by way of a change in the composite contact relationship among the ballast particles. This change is cumulative in nature. The major part of work in track maintenance, therefore, consists to correct the surface geometry by rebuilding the deformed ballast. Unless ballast is replaced by some other material having true elastic properties, no tangible reduction in track maintenance cost can be visualized. In Ballastless track, the elastic characteristics of ballasted track are simulated by providing suitably designed track assemblies in which rubber plays an important role. Ballastless track has been adopted in Chennai Metro on viaducts (Elevated), tunnel (underground) and in Depot.

The components of Ballastless system are:

 Support structure  Shear connector  Reinforced concrete plinth/slab  Double Resilient Fastening System Assembly (Ref.13145C)

11.1 Reinforced Concrete Plinth/Slab

In Chennai Metro, Ballastless track has been laid with

 Reinforced concrete plinth resting on viaduct spans supporting structure.  Reinforced concrete slab resting on tunnel1st stage concrete structure.

The reinforced concrete plinth/slab is connected with supporting structure through shear connectors, which are in position before concreting the plinth/slab. The Ballastless track has been constructed by top down method of construction in which rails and fittings are held in position before plinth/slab is concreted. The height of the plinth at each location takes into account the design rail level and provision for cant and vertical curve. Reinforced concrete plinths have been laid in not more than lengths of 5 metres with intervening gap of 0.2m, both in straight alignment and curved except where it is required to correspond with span joints.

11.2 Double Resilient Fastening Assembly System (Dwg. Ref 13145C)

74 of 154. Rail fastening system for Mainline is direct fixation type and will allow for elasticity between the rail and the concrete supports. For Mainline, Double Resilient Assembly System (Dwg 13145C) forms the main fastening assemblies for the Chennai Metro Track work.

The double resilient fastening system assembly as per drawing 13145C is a modular rail baseplate assembly, suitable for situations where the mitigation of ground-borne noise and/or vibration is required. The low vertical stiffness of the assembly works with the mass of both the track and vehicles to reduce the transmission of noise, vibration and impact forces to the supporting structure.

The double resilient baseplate assembly is supplied as a full toe-load assembly, complete with all parts required. The assembly is designed for long life and can be fully dismantled for inspection and maintenance purposes, with fully replaceable components.

12.WELDING OF RAILS AND ULTRASONIC TESTING To be read and followed the procedure for fabrication and testing of ATW/FBW in conjunction with Indian Railways Manual for Flash Butt welding of Rails, Manual for fusion welding of rails by Alumino thermic process and Manual for Ultrasonic testing of Rails and Welds.

12.1 Action to be Taken In Case Of Rail Fracture/Weld Failure.

12.1.1 Rail Failure

A rail is said to have failed if it has fractured in track or if it is considered necessary to be removed from track on account of defects other than those due to accidental damage, bucking kinking and derailments.

12.1.2 Action To Be Taken To Restore The Traffic

12.1.2.1 It is important that whenever a rail/weld fracture is noticed, immediate action is taken to restore the traffic, if necessary with restricted speed, with the least possible delay.

Detection of fracture noticed by train operator or due to failure of track circuit, immediate action is to be taken to restore traffic by track possession for carrying out the needful repairs by Sectional JE/SE (P.Way). P-Way men on call duty should be advised who shall arrange to take up the job of emergency repairs by providing screw clamps/Joggled fish plates to pass the traffic. Emergency or temporary repairs as explained below shall be carried out depending on the availability of time. Permanent repairs could be carried out subsequently.

12.1.2.2 Emergency Repairs

76 of 154. The Fractured rail/weld shall be joined by using clamps/Joggled fish plates. When the gap between rail due to fracture is larger than 30 mm; a closure rail of appropriate length shall be introduced to reduce the gap. The traffic may then be resumed at 15 Kmph tor first train and 30 Kmph for subsequent trains. This work shall be carried out under the Supervision of a JE (P.Way) or any other higher engineering official.

12.1.2.3 Temporary Repairs

The Second joint of the cut rail shall be then welded and the fastening tightened. Permanent repairs and destressing shall be done under the supervision of JE/SE (P.Way) or higher Eng. official. Ultra Sonic Testing of Rails

1. The method of testing of rails shall be as per the procedures laid down in the manual for Ultrasonic testing of rails and welds of Indian Railways.

2. Rail should be inspected for flaws specially when the rails show signs of fatigue and the rail wear is excessive. The detection of rail flaws is done either by visual examination of the rail or by ultrasonic rail flaw detection.

3. Manually operated portable ultrasonic flaw detectors should be used for ultra-sonic flaw detection. These machines are fully transistorized and battery operated. Two different types of equipment viz. single rail tester and double rail tester are used in Indian Railways.

4. Single rail tester is capable of testing only one of the rails at a time and is provided with five probes i.e. 0°, 70° Forward(F), 70° Back ward (B), 70° (Gauge face) Forward (F) and 70°

77 of 154. (Gauge face) Backward (B). The normal probe (0°) is utilized for the purpose of detecting horizontal defects situated in head, web or foot. The 70° probe is specially designed for detecting defects in the rail head, the most typical of which is the transverse fissure or kidney fracture. 70° probes are designed to find out defects in Gauge face corner.

5. The signals received from the defects by any one of the above probes are indicated on the cathode ray tube (CRT) screen.

6. Double rail tester is capable of testing both the rails at a time. However for each rail, any three probes are generally provided. (0°, 70° (F) & 70° (B)).

7. Transverse flows in head due to wheel burns/scabs to be detected by test rig with two 45° probes.

8. Details of the frequency and number of each type of probes in single rail tester and double rail testers in use are as under

No of Probes Rig Type Frequency Single Rail Double Rail Tester Tester Normal/0° 4 MHz One One each 70° 2 MHz Two(F+B) Two(F+B) each 70° (Gauge 2 MHz Two (F+B) Two (F+B) each face) 45° (Rig testing) 2 MHz Two

Table

12.1.3 Periodicity of Testing

12.1.3.1 Safety against failure of rails in track depends upon the inspection frequency and the permissible defect size. Other factors like rail metallurgy and loading conditions remaining the same. To get maximum service life out of the rails while ensuring safety, the inspection frequency has to be increased so that the rails are allowed to remain in track for longest possible period. At the same time, frequent watch over increasing incidence of defects is necessary. However, very high frequency of inspection as a general measure is not always practicable as cost of inspection becomes prohibitive. The optimum cost of maintaining rails in track can, therefore be achieved if the inspection frequency is made dependent on the incidence of defects. In such a concept of need based inspection, the inspection resources are not frittered away.

12.1.3.2 The frequency of testing shall be as under,

After initial testing of rails in the rail manufacturing plant, the first testing need not be done normally until the rails have undergone 25% of the service life. However, the rails shall be Ultrasonically tested covering the gauge face corner and non-gauge face corner of the rail face on the passage of every 40 GMT of traffic during the test free period or one years whichever is earlier,

12.1.3.3 Frequency of Testing of Welds

Testing of flange portion of AT welded joints by 70o, 1.25 MHz probe by hand probing shall be done after 80 GMT for first testing of all AT welds after initial acceptance test. Subsequent flange testing is required to be done when weld failures due to defects in flange exceeds 1% in a year in a block Section. A round of testing be also carried out after 8 years life on incidence of 1 % gross failure in a block section since the second test i.e. the next test after initial acceptance test.

Method of Ultrasonic testing of rails in points and crossings, REJ’s, FBW shall be as per the procedures laid down in the manual for Ultrasonic testing of rails and welds of Indian Railways and the frequency of testing will be under the discretion of competent authority.

12.1.3.4 Classification of flaws detected by USFD

Depending on the nature and extent of internal flaws, the defects have been classified into two categories i.e. IMR and OBS. Defects in the welds are indicated with Suffix W IMR refers to a defect pertaining to a rail while IMRW refers to a defect in the weld.

IMR (Immediate Removal): The flaw which is serious in nature and can lead to sudden failure is classified as “IMR"

OBS (under observation) if the defect is such that it is not expected to result in fracture rescanning is done, it is classified as OBS.

Wear on switches can be reduced by lubrication of the gauge face of tongue rail.

14.3 Maintenance of Crossings

(i) If any damage to the nose of crossing is noticed, its cause must be traced, which may be due to tight gauge or due to excessive clearance at the check rail.

(ii) If wing rails or check rails are badly worn laterally, it could be due to wide gauge at the crossing.

(iii) In obtuse crossings, the distance between the throat and the nose must be maintained correctly.

(iv) In diamond crossings, obtuse crossings should be laid square to each other with respect to the centre line of the acute crossings.

(v) Maximum permissible vertical wear on wing rails or nose of crossing shall be 8mm.

14.4 Maintenance of lead portion and turn in curve

(i) The leads and radii of turnout should be correct according to the section of the rail and the angle of Crossings used.

(ii) Initially, the lead curve correctness should be ensured by measuring offset from the gauge face of the straight track. During maintenance, stations at 3.0 M intervals should be marked and the Versine checked and track attended as necessary.

(iii) The Versine of turn in curves on loops should be recorded at stations at 3.0 M intervals on 6.0m chord length during the inspection of points and crossings to check the sharpness of the curve and rectified as necessary.

(iv) The turn-in curve should also be checked for condition of plinth/slab and fastenings. The variation in Versine on two successive stations in lead curve and turn in curve portions should not be more than 4mm and Versine at each station should also not be beyond ± 3mm from its designed value.

91 of 154. 21. Track Renewal

21.1 General

All track renewals can be classified into one of the following categories:

(i) Complete Track Renewal (Primary) abbreviated as C.T.R.(P)

(ii) Through Rail Renewal (Primary) abbreviated as T.R.R. (P)

(iii) Casual Renewals.

(iv) Through Fastening renewal (TFR)

Renewals where new materials are used are called Primary renewals while renewals with second hand material are called secondary renewals. Secondary renewals shall not be resorted to on Mainline Metro Corridors.

Casual Renewals are carried out when unserviceable rails and fastening systems are replaced by identical sections of serviceable or new track components. These are carried out on isolated sections and not in continuous stretches. Such renewals are a part of normal maintenance operations.

21.2 Factors Governing Track Renewals a) Criteria For Rail Renewal

The following are to be considered in connection with criteria of rail renewals

 Incidence of rail fractures/failures.  Wear on rails.  Maintainability of track to prescribed standards.  Expected service life in terms of Gross million tones carried.  Plan based renewals

b) Incidence Of Rail Fractures/Failures

A spate of rail fractures on particular sections having 5 withdrawals of rails per 10 km in a year due to fracture and/or rail flaws detected ultrasonically falling in the category of IMR will have priority while deciding rail renewals. In case the rail failures at fish plated/ welded joints are pre-dominant, end cropping with or without welding could be considered. c) Wear on rails

i) Limiting loss of section

The limiting loss in rail section as a criterion for recommending rail renewals shall be 6% for 60kg UIC rail. Rail wear may be determined by actual weighment taking rail profiles with special profile measuring gadget.

ii) Wear due to corrosion Corrosion beyond 1.5mm in the web and foot may be taken as the criterion for wear due to corrosion. Existence of the localized corrosion such a corrosion pits, especially on the

92 of 154. underside of the foot, acting as stress raisers from the origin of fatigue cracks, would necessitate renewals.

iii) Vertical wear When the reduction of the depth of the rail head reaches a point beyond which there is a wheel flange grazing the fish plates, such rails are to be renewed. The limit of vertical wear is 13mm for 60kg UIC rail. Vertical wear is to be measured at the centre of the rail by measuring the height of the worn out rail. The wear is the difference between the height of the new rail and height of the worn out rail.

iv) Lateral wear Lateral wear is to be measured at 13 to 15mm below the rail top table. Worn rail profile should be recorded and super imposed over new rail profile to find the lateral wear. Limits of lateral wear on curves shall be 8mm and on straight 6mm for 60kg UIC rail.

For60 Kg UIC60 Rail Limiting Vertical Wear =  Vertical Wear 13mm

 Lateral Wear

 On the Limiting Lateral Wear = 6mm Straight

 On the Curve Limiting Lateral Wear = 8mm

Table - Limiting Wear

21.2.1.1 Maintainability of Track to Prescribed Standards There may be cases where running quality of track may remain poor in spite of extra labour and materials involved and cost of maintaining to safe standards may be high.

21.2.1.2 Renewal on considerations of service life The rail shall be planned for through renewal after it has carried 800 GMT.

21.2.1.3 Plan based renewal Renewal to predetermined plan with the objective of modernizing the track structure on selected routes may be planned even if it involves premature renewal.

21.2.2 Track Standards for Renewals The track standards for renewals shall generally be the same as of existing track or of higher standards.

21.2.3 Track Laying Standard

93 of 154.  As a good measure, the following laying standards of track geometry should be achieved, where the base of measurement shall be

- Each base plate for the gauge

- 3 metres for the cant, cross level and twist

- 20 metres (half overlapping) for lining and

- 10 metres (half overlapping) for vertical profile.

(i) Gauge (with reference to 1435 mm) Maximum rate of variation over the prescribed track gauge

 Slab track : ±2 mm  Mean gauge per 200m for slab track : (1435 + 1.5 mm) to (1435 – 1 mm) to (1435 – 1 mm)  Standard deviation within a 200 m Section : Less than 1 mm.

Execution of track renewal works is carried out in the following systematic sequence. 1. Survey of the section 2. Unloading/transporting of required materials 3. Preliminary works. 4. Requirement of Line blocks, 5. Carrying out renewals. 6. Post laying checks. 21.2.5 Through Fastening renewal

. .E-clips The essential feature of the e-clips is the correct driving of the clip which should be checked by the Technician during his inspection. Clips should be driven/taken out with clip applicator/extractor. Over driving/under driving of the clip causes eccentric load on the insulators and results in their displacement and variation of toe load. A vigilant watch should be kept to ascertain that no creep is taking place in any of the portion of the track. The elastic fastenings should be checked for corrosion and corroded fastenings should be replaced.

. EVA Rail Pads It must be ensured that the rail pads are in correct position. Whenever it is found that the rail pads have developed a permanent set, these should be replaced by new ones. Such examinations can be done at the time of destressing. Loss of toe load can also be due to ineffective pads. The load should be occasionally checked particularly, if any creep is noticed.

. Insulators

95 of 154. Insulators used with rail clip shall be examined periodically for sign of cracking and breakage. Adequate care should be exercised while driving the clip at the time of installation to prevent damage. On first laying a small indentation on the Insulators will be formed due to the toe load of the clip. This is not objectionable so long as the insulator does not crack up. All cracked insulators should be replaced with fresh ones.

. Baseplate pad and LLDPE Conforming Pad Whenever it is found that the baseplate pads and LLDPE Conforming pads have developed a permanent set, these should be replaced by new ones. Loss of toe load can also be due to ineffective pads. Such examinations can be done periodically.

. Renewal of 13145C Double Resilient fastening systems Through Renewal of fastenings shall be done in accordance with the following provisions.

21.3 Sample size and testing frequency

(i) Sample size

Toe load of e-clips should be measured on 1% of e-clips randomly on every 100 sleepers (all 4 e-clips to be measured on one sleeper).

(ii) Testing Frequency

Initial testing of e-clips is to be done after four years or passage of 200 GMT of traffic, whichever is earlier.

(iii) Subsequent testing will be done every four years or 200 GMT, whichever is earlier. However, if 20% or more of sample size records toe load below 600 Kgf both frequency of inspection and sample size are to be doubled.

(2) Replacement of ERC

(i) If 20% or more of sample size records toe load below 400 Kgf which is to be confirmed by 5% Sample size, proposal of through fastening renewal should be initiated.

21.3.1 Classification and use of released materials

(1) (a) After a section of track has been renewed, the released material shall be carefully sorted out so that greatest possible use may be made of them. They should then be classified by the Sr.Section Engineer (Stores). Tools and plant left over should also be classified and action taken on their disposal.

(b) The rails should be graded according to their weight and condition into groups suitable for re-use in running lines, non-running lines and for conversion into posts or structural members for various purposes or for sale as scrap. Where rail-ends are worn or hogged, the feasibility of “Cropping” the ends should be considered if the condition of the rail is otherwise satisfactory.

(c) Fish-plates, fish bolts, should be sorted into those suitable for re-use and the rest as scrap.

(d) Crossings should be reconditioned by welding, if the wear is not too severe, as also the switches.

(2) Basis for Classification

For the purpose of classification, Permanent Way materials should be divided into three classes depending upon the section and condition as detailed below

96 of 154. (a) Class I material is that which is new and of Standard section. New items of obsolescent sections which are interchangeable with standard materials and are purchased from time to time to prevent wastage of other serviceable material, should be brought on to the stock account as Class I material. These items should be included in the price lists for the miscellaneous and common items. No other material of an obsolescent section is to be treated as Class I, even though it may never have been put in the road.

(b) Class II material includes all new material of obsolescent sections other than those included under Class I and all standard and obsolete material released from the road and fit for further use on track. Class II released rails should be classified and sub-divided as under,

. Class II (a) rails fit for use in running lines. . Class II (b) rails fit for using non-running lines.

(c) Class III materials shall include all materials that has become unserviceable. This is either metal scrap or unserviceable fastenings. This class will include all rails which are neither Class I nor Class II.

(d)Valuation of released material – The value of Class I, II and III materials should be fixed in consultation with the Financial Department.

(3) Accountal of released P.Way materials

(a) The quantity of released materials from every work included for track renewal will be based on yardsticks for loss of weight to be fixed on the basis of data collected during foot by foot survey. If there is more than one work on the same route, near to each other and under similar ground conditions, only one set of yardsticks would suffice.

(b) List of materials likely to be released will be prepared indicating the quantum of such materials separately as second hand (SH) and scrap following the instructions given in section “Factors governing Track Renewals”.

(c) While second hand materials will be indicated only in length/nos. in case of scrap materials, the accountal will be as follows

I. Rails - in length, then converted to weight. II. Fittings & fastenings - by weight.

Marking of Permanent Way Material

All Permanent Way material should be distinguished as follows or as otherwise directed

(1) Class I - No marks

(a) Rails

(i) Class II (a) - Second hand rail fit to be relaid in running lines-Ends to be painted with a daub of white.

(ii) Class II (b) - Second hand rail fit for use in non-running lines-Ends to be painted with a daub of yellow.

(iii) Unserviceable rails not fit for use – Ends to be painted with a daub of red.

(b) Other track materials

(i) Class II i.e., Second hand fit for use in track works to be painted with a daub of white.

(ii) Unserviceable material not fit for use – Ends to be painted with a daub of red.

97 of 154. 22. Track Tolerances

22.1 General

c) For the safe, smooth and comfortable running of vehicles over the track, it is necessary that track irregularities are kept to the bare minimum. The track parameters which have significant contribution in this respect are alignment, cross levels, twist, unevenness and gauge.

d) Even with the best system of the track construction and maintenance, it is practically impossible to ensure that all track parameters remain absolutely true to their requirements at all times. The variations which can be permitted to these pararnetres are termed as track tolerances, which are of various type and are designed to facilitate the decision making process in regard to steps to be taken.

22.2 Threshold Values

e) The principle of adopting threshold values of various track tolerances could be adopted as under:

Comfort threshold TV Level Status desired after renewal or scheduled (Target Values) maintenance Safety threshold AV Level Quality becoming mediocre Correction (Action Values) required shortly SRV Level Normal running no longer permitted. (Speed restriction values)

Table

f) For each geometric parameter, safety values have been defined which are called speed restriction values (SRV) and if these are exceeded, speed restriction must be imposed on the trains. In order to preserve track performance and to guarantee safety, maintenance intervention must be launched before the SRV threshold is reached.

g) Threshold value AV (action value) makes it imperative to intervene within a relatively short period to avoid reaching the restriction value.

h) At the time of intervention or at laying, a level of quality following intervention is sought: that is the target value (TV).

22.3 Standards Applicable To Fastenings 22.3.1 Criteria for the assessment of the condition of the fastening system.

The degree of tightening of 13145C system falls into three categories:  Correctly tightening fastening (C)  Incorrectly tightening fastening (T)  Inoperative fastening (I)

98 of 154. A. Correctly tightened fastening (C)

 1st level (Base Plate — Concrete Plinth/Slab) Compression Spring under the anchor bolt nut evenly pressed against the Insulating eccentric bush. Insulating eccentric bush properly tightened and making contact with the base plate. Anchor bolt properly sealed in its support.

 2nd level (Base plate- Rail) Clip e2007 property driven/inserted into the baseplate shoulder and positioned one end of the clip correctly onto the insulator in order to generate correct toe load to the foot of the rail.

B. Incorrectly tightened fastening (T)

 1st Level (Base plate- Concrete Plinth/Slab) Compression Spring under the anchor bolt nut loosened and insulating eccentric bush inadequately tightened onto the base plate.

 2nd Level (Base plate-Rail) Clip e2007 driven/inserted into the shoulder inadequately and not in contact with the foot of the rail at one end of the clip and substantial wear of the clip ends/insulator.

C. Inoperative Fastening (I)

 1st Level (Base plate — Concrete Plinth/Slab) Clip e2007 not generating adequate toe load. (For example- Nut from anchor stud missing, no rail pad or rail pad substantially worn, holding anchor bolt missing/broken)

 2nd Level (Base plate-Rail) No Clip, Insulator missing and clip substantially worn

The quality levels are to be assessed based on checking done for 15 consecutive base plates per 200 metres zone and per stretch of rail.
