CHAPTER III

DETAILED TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS FOR CARRYING OUT

SIGNALLING WORKS

0.1 The detailed specification for the works which are to be carried out by the contractor are as stipulated hereunder:-

0.2 The work shall be carried out according to the drawings approved by the Railways and

shall conform to the provision in Signal Engineering Manual and Schedule of Dimensions. The contractor shall be solely responsible for the proper execution of the work as per specification.

1.0 CABLE LAYING:-

1.1.1 CABLE TRENCH:-

Excavation of cable trench shall be made in all kinds of soils including clearing roots of trees, rocks bushes etc., to a depth of 1.0M and a width of 0.3M/ 0.5M as required, for laying cables. Trenches shall be straight as far as possible and steep angles shall be avoided. Alignment of the main cable route as well as track/ road crossing will be given by Railways. While taking the trench, all the roots of trees, bushes, rocks, if any, should be cleared. The bottom of the trench shall be leveled and got rid of any sharp materials. Proper protection to cables to be given while crossing power cables, pipe lines etc., as required by Railways.

a. Signalling/power cables will be laid as close to the track as possible. The cable, track separation distance both within station limits and in the block section shall generally not exceed 6 Metres.

b. It is desirable that the excavation of trenches is not done in long lengths and does not remain uncovered overnight. It is preferable that trenches are dug, cables laid and refilling done on the same day.

c. The contractor who supervises the excavation work shall have the shoring materials ready on hand so that on banks where ashes or loose materials are encountered, shoring can be adopted.

d. During excavation, the earth of the trenches should not be thrown on the ballast. The earth should be thrown by the side of the trenches away from the track. Plastic sheets/gunny bangs may be used wherever necessary to cover the ballast.

1.1.2 In RE area the following clear distances shall be maintained between the signalling cables and the OHE mast or other structures likely to develop high potentials or switching stations earth.

1.2 LAYING OF CABLES:-

1.2.1 Before the cables are laid, a visual inspection of cable shall be made and it shall be tested for insulation and continuity of the cores. The insulation resistance of a new cable shall not be below 500 M.Ohms per Km. at 20 deg C. The cable insulation should be measured using a 500V insulation Tester (Megger). If there is wide disparity between insulation of different conductors, the condition of the cable should be thoroughly checked before permitting its use. Bedding and armouring shall be inspected to see that there has been no damage during transit or in storage. In case where the wheels are not available or the area is not convenient for rolling the wheels, along the routes, the drum shall be mounted on the axle at one end of the trench and cable payed out. It should be carried out by adequate number of men, ensuring that the insulation of the cables is not damaged and no kink/twist is formed. In no case shall the drum be rolled on the road for laying of cables and the cable dragged on the ground for laying purposes. The cables shall be laid gently into the trench and not thrown out under any circumstances. Before laying of cable in the trench, a visual inspection shall be adequate for any damage or defect throughout its length. Normally cable laying should be commenced only after the relay room and apparatus cases, cable termination box on the route at the respective stations are ready and the cable should be duly brought inside at the relay room/apparatus cases immediately after the cables are laid, however, if for any reasons the cable is be laid in advance, special care should be taken to ensure that the coiled cable near the relay room/apparatus cases is fully protected before and during the construction of the relay room/apparatus cases and during final termination. The coiled cable shall be buried well in the ground such that the depth from the ground level to the top layer of the coil shall not be less than 1 M and shall be fully covered with a layer of bricks horizontally in its entire length and provided with adequate number of the cable markers. On no occasion, the ends of the cable should be left unsealed unless terminated properly.

4 Allow the plates of cells to soak in the electrolyte for 12 hours.

5 Charge shall be applied at the rate of 4% of AH value of the cells to the correct terminals of the battery set duly interconnected.

6 Specific Gravity and voltage of each cell shall be measured and recorded once in 8 hours.

of 113

7 Charging shall be stopped when specific gravity becomes 1210 +/ -5

8 If the specific gravity does not attain this value, little quantity of electrolyte shall be taken out and with electrolyte of higher value (1400 – obtained by adding acid and added water in the ratio 7:11) and charging shall be started afresh.

9 On charge, the cells shall be discharged with lamp load upto the limit when the specific gravity becomes 1190 and voltage 1.85 volts.

10 Charge and discharge cycle shall be repeated once again.
