92 Repair of Rejected Unloadable wagons in Sidings

IB valley region and Korba region have clusters of coal loading sidings. In each region 30 rakes each, coal is loaded every day. No. of wagons in a rake are rejected as unloadable. The unloadable return embedded empty, incurring loss in earnings.

SECR has undertaken works of attending these rejected wagons before loading by doing temporary repairs, thus making loadable for at least one movement. The work is outsourced using mobile van loaded with Generator and Welding sets. The repair raw material MS plates are also loaded in Mobile van.

The wagons rejected by siding authorities are attended and made temporary loadable. On an average 259 and 186 rejected wagons are made temporary loadable per day at IB valley region and Korba region respectively.

Thus loss of earning @ Rs. 16000/Wagons/Day to the tune of Rs.71.2 lakhs is saved. In the process expenditure incurred is Rs. 0.59 lakhs per day.

By this process SECR is saving/earning about 70.61 lakhs per day.

94 Flexible-Shaft mounted Powered Cleaning-Tool developed by staff of Yesvantpur Depot to de-stench bio-toilets.

Stench removal from Bio-toilets/ normal toilets is a big challenge being faced on IR by coach maintenance wing. Many methods are being tried such as providing exhaust fans at location nearer to squatting pan, or fitting double ventury to have better natural ventilation. However, staff of YPR Depot of SWR looked at the problem a bit differently, they tried to pinpoint the source(s) of the bad-odour. They found that majorly stench emanates from Night Soil (NS) matter which gets stuck on inner surface of Straight Pipe and S- Pipe as well as on to the trash material ( like paper cups, etc.) inadvertently dropped by users in the toilet/pan.

To handle all these sources of stench, the staff initially thought of using a Robotic Arm but finally ended up evolving a Flexible-Shaft mounted Powered Cleaning-Tool. This tool not only is able to effectively traverse and clean the complete straight and S- pipe passage but is able to pull out as well as push out the trash material Cost: - The total cost of the powered tool would be in the range of Rs 4000 to Rs 5000 including spare set of chargeable batteries. Actually the Flexible Shaft and tool costs approximately Rs 500 only and the cost of Battery Operated Drilling Machine on which this tool is mounted is Rs 3000 to Rs 4000. Time Taken: 4 to 5 minutes per toilet are adequate to clean the inner surfaces and for cleaning the S- type passage. From single charging of battery, approximately 9 to 10 coaches can be effectively dealt. Action Plan: Use Flexible-Shaft mounted Powered Cleaning-Tool developed by YPR depot is replicated in all Depots of SWR. All Primary Maintenance Trains of SWR have been covered on 31-08-2018 and the process is being repeated continuously in all SWR depots. It is proposed to provide the tool to OBHS staff also so that effective cleaning is ensured en route.

95 Innovative equipment''s for ART. Equipment A:- Portable Mono Rail cum Road Trolley. Equipment B:- Spacer for Telescopic Lifting Jack

Equipment A:- Multipurpose portable consisting of both Tapered wheels and tyre fixed on one mobile trolley which enabled to trolley operational both on mono rail as well as on flat surface using tyre. This multi utility trolley is extremely efficient while transporting heavy equipments on to accident site. This trolley consists of two numbers of MS solid tapered wheels and two rubber tyre, which can run on mono rail and road respectively. By providing this functionality trolley can be operated both on rail and road. It is a portable trolley which can be operated by single staff for transship of small items or two hydraulic jacks at a time to work spot quickly. Pushing handles are removable and can be fixed from both ends. Road wheels also removable whenever the ballast height is more by the side of rail. Flexible support brackets are fixed at both end of the trolley. 

 

Equipment B:-Two telescopic lifting jacks and one displacement jack are connected to one control panel from which Re-railment operations can be carried out. This system is very easy to Re-rail the coach by using 4.4 meters Re-railing bridge even at the points and crossings. Spacer is made of two telescopic tubes is used to connect two Roller Carriages is take over the direct power transmission and routing. For re-railing the coach, single telescopic hydraulic jack is using below the head stock centre in conventional method. At present condition most of the coaches are fitted with Bio-Toilets. Due to this, place is very less in between two bio-toilets to keep the jack under head stock. In order to overcome this difficulty two telescopic lifting jacks are placed under second lifting pads of the coach (inside the trolley) over the Roller carriages which are connected by spacer. Coach will be lifted with two telescopic jacks simultaneously above the rail level, after those two jacks will be moved laterally as a single unit with the help of displacement jack (traverse jack) from one end to re-rail the coach.

97 Quality improvements in Welding - Mysore Workshop

The Welding team of Mysore Workshop is continuously focusing on the following areas related to Welding.

i) Welder ii) Equipment iii) Joints iv) Consumable v) Process vi) Inspection

i) Welder

a) Welder Qualification through continuous assessment and competency certification.

b) Imparting practical training to all the welders using ready reference drawings and Welding handbook.

ii) Equipment

a) Usage of advanced MIG/MAG synergic welding plants duly replacing the existing MMAW plants.

b) Preparation of validation certificate for all the welding plants after inspection.

c) Usage of better quality electrode holder, gloves and Auto darkening helmets.

iii) Joints

a) By imaprting continuous training to the welders, good fit ups are being done and poor fit ups are being properly assessed and rectified.

iv) Consumable

a) On proper selection of electrode, preheating according to the manufacturer's recommendation is essential for optimum results. In order to achieve this, a mother oven is being used and electrodes are being kept in quivers for maintaining the required temperature.

b) Ensuring proper storage of comsumable items duly protecting from the environmental factors.

v) Process

a) Preparation and maintenance of test records and process records after the welding process.

b) Welding based on Welding Specification Procedure in order to ensure an optimum result. 

vi) Inspection

a) All the Inspection personnel involved in Welding operations are being sent to various training institutes for continuous improvement.

b) Almost all the Inspection personnel have completed their certification course on Visual Inspection and DPT testing which resulted in drastic improvement during inspection.

DMW has saved 942120 Kwh of electricity (resulting in 35.39% saving of electric energy) during 2018-19 in generation & supply of compressed air by adopting following measures:

  • Under-ground supply pipeline has been replaced with overhead pipeline.
  • Dedicated team has been nominated to deduct & address leakages.
  • Voltage Stabilizers have been replaced with Phase Reversal/ Phase Failure Protection Relays, duly modifying the electrical circuit of compressors.
  • Surplus delivery points of compressed air have been plugged in various shops.
  • Two nos. Air Dryers (Cap. 1500 CFM each) have been commissioned to improve quality of compressed air.
  • Air blow guns with silent Nozzle are being used during maintenance and on service points.  
  • Isolating valve has been provided between HMS & PPS to control supply of compressed air.
  • Use of baby compressors for intermittent supply.

 

 Above comprehensive measures resulted in saving of Rs. 79 Lakhs in generation & supply of compressed air.
