Necessity of work
• Hundreds of RUBs are to be constructed
on busy trunk routes. The EA available are
already insufficient for track works. Hence,
it is important to get the LHS constructed
with minimum EA consumption without
compromising on safety.
• On Rajdhani route Surat-Godhara section
(200 Kms) of BRC division, about 40 RUBs
are to be constructed. EA available is 15
minutes on each line.
Constraints for Speed Raising
• Relieving girder for higher speed were not
available.
• Support arrangement with C C Cribs and
wooden sleepers was not safe for higher
speed.
• Rail clamping arrangements on Relieving
Girder to be improved.
Improvements made
• Relieving girder fit for 50 Kmph were
specially fabricated as per RDSO drawing no
RDSO/B-11041R, 1R & 2R.
• Special prefabricated welded Box Crib and
End crib arrangement were fabricated as per
WR drawing no PCE 24019-HQ/TP-2016R
(Fit for 40 kmph).
• Special insulated mono sleepers were got
fabricated for clamping rails as per RDSO
drawing no RDSO/B-11041R, 1R & 2R.
