BCCL has also to safeguard its commercial interests. It is not in the interest of BCCL to deal with Agencies who commit deception, fraud or other misconduct in the execution of contracts awarded / orders issued to them. In order to ensure compliance with the constitutional mandate, it is incumbent on BCCL to observe principles of natural justice before banning the business dealings with any Agency. 1.2 Since banning of business dealings involves civil consequences for an Agency concerned, it is incumbent that adequate opportunity of hearing is provided and the explanation, if tendered, is considered before passing any order in this regard keeping in view the facts and circumstances of the case. 2. 2.1 Scope The procedure of (i) Suspension and (ii) Banning of Business Dealing with Agencies, has been laid down in these guidelines. 2.2 It is clarified that these guidelines do not deal with the decision of the Management not to entertain any particular Agency due to its poor/ inadequate performance or for any other reason. 2.3 The banning shall be with prospective effect, i.e., future business dealings. 3.

The order to this effect may indicate a brief of the charges under investigation. The order of such suspension would operate for a period not more than six months and may be communicated to the Agency as also to the Investigating Department.

In those Specifications, wherever there is reference to approval by Railway, it should be replaced by approval by RITES/ Engineer-in-charge. 1.1.1 The Specifications at Annexure A should be read in conjunction with the Schedule (Bill) of Quantities. Where there is conflict between the provisions in Annexure A and in BOQ, the provisions in BOQ shall prevail. 86 Signature of the tenderer Under seal of the firm ANNEXURE A BLANKETING IN RAILWAY FORMATION 1.1 Specifications of Blanket Material Blanket material produced in a plant should generally conform to following specifications: a) b) c) It should be coarse, granular and well graded. Skip graded material is not permitted. Non -plastic fines (particles of size less than 75 micron) are limited maximum to 12%, whereas plastic fines are limited maximum to 5%. The blanket material should have particle size distribution curve within one of the bands of enveloping curves or the percent passing of the material through each IS sieves should lie between the upper and lower limit of blanket material as given in the Table 1.1(a) The material should be well graded with Cu & Cc as under: Uniformity coefficient, Cu = D 60/D10 > 7 d) e) Coefficient of curvature, C C = D302 between 1 and 3 D60 xD10 f) Particle size distribution must follow one of the gradation ranges tabulated below.

Aim of such source identification survey is to use naturally available material, or select alternatives of machine manufactured blanket material through crushing, blending or a combination, which is cheap and conforms to the specifications laid down. 1.2.2 The parent material of the blanket material so chosen should be chemically inactive and sturdy in normal working environment. Brickbats, factory slag, weak dissolvable stones like lime, shale, laterite etc. need not be selected as blanket material. 1.2.3 The choice of gradation as provided in 1.1 (f), above, may be exercised judiciously, based on the availability of material. It may be advisable to choose the grade A for finest subgrade soils (requiring 1.0m thick layer of blanket), and grade B or C for coarser subgrades (requiring less thickness of blanket). 1.2.4 Sample for Material:-The successful contractor should submit for approval by the Engineer samples of the Blanketing material in three wide mouth sealed glass jars of a quantity of 0.0035 Cum. each. The material to be used by the contractor for blanketing should strictly adhere to the quality of material as approved by the Engineer. 1.3 Mechanical Production:The Blanket can be produced by adopting either crushing methodology or Blending Methodology as described in Paras 6.1 and 6.2 respectively of RDSO’s Specification No.GE.IRS.2 (Final) dated July 2005 and to which reference can be made for any details. Crushing Methodology is resorted to in the event of non availability of natural source of blanket materials and involves crushing the rock / boulder to produce crushed blanket material. Blending methodology involves proper blending of two or more soils or in combination with soils crushed material like stone chips or quarry dust. 1.4 Quality Control on Blanket Material at Production site 1.4.1 The source of blanket material, detailed in para 1.2, needs to be identified based on tests & studies conducted and conformity of the material to the Specification as laid down in para 1.1. 1.4.2 It is desirable to have a check on quality of material at source/manufacturing point so that major deviation in quality of the material being sent to site does not exist. It would be in the interest of the supplier to have such tests conducted on his own to avoid any complication at a later stage. 1.4.3 The frequency of such test could be laid down by the engineer in-charge, if need be. In the absence of any other instructions, at least one test may be performed per day to check the particle size gradation at the point of loading into the trucks. However, the final acceptance of the blanket material should be at the site where it is laid, as per para 1.6. 1.4.4 The supplier/ Engineer may also lay down proforma for 'Incoming Material Register ' to be maintained at manufacturing point for having a control on utilization of different grades of material, especially where blending is done using crushed as well as local material. 88 Signature of the tenderer Under seal of the firm 1.4.5 The thickness of blanketing layer shall be fixed in light of the Guidelines RDSO’s Specification No. GE.IRS.2 (Final) dated July 2005 on “Mechanically produced Blanketing Material for Railway formation including Guidelines for Laying”. 1.5 Test for Quality: Blanket material should be tested as per IS: 2720 (Part 4) of a minimum of one test per 500 cum. or part thereof to plot particle size distribution curve, so as to assess its suitability. It would be necessary to carry out wet analysis to assess actual percentage of fines. To expedite testing work, dry sieve analysis may be carried out if variation between results of dry and wet analysis are not significant and adequate margin exists with respect to acceptance criteria. However, in such cases also, wet analysis has to be carried out at frequent interval to verify the extent of variation. In any situation, acceptance of blanket material would be based on wet analysis only. The sample for wet analysis should be prepared as per para 4.3 of IS: 2720 (Part 4). 1.6 Acceptance Criteria: The material should generally conform to specification as given at para 1.1. 1.7 1.8 1.8.1 Transportation: The blanket material should be transported wet after mixing water in order to achieve OMC, in tippers for direct unloading on formation. Laying, Spreading and Compacting The blanket material must be spread with a tractor mounted grader or a paver-finisher in layers of uniform thickness, before allowing compaction. The blanketing should generally cover the entire width of formation from shoulder to shoulder. In case of sand or non-cohesive material it should be confined within a trench with berms of 60 to 75 cm width and sand drains across the cess to drain the track and the blanket. The cross drains should be with adequate slope at 5 to 10 cm below the bottom of the blanket and spaced 3 m apart. The thickness of the blanket shall be at least 30 cms but may be increased depending on local conditions. 1.8.2 Compaction to specified levels of RD or percentage of MDD (para 1.10.10.3) will be carried out through a number of passes of vibratory rollers of 100-120 kN static weight or equivalent capacity. A combination of vibrating rolling initially and static finishing rolling may be established through trials. Speed of roller shall not exceed 5 km/hr. 1.8.3 Proper control of moisture is required to optimize the compaction effort. Optimum moisture content may be established through Modified Proctor Apparatus (IS:2720, part 8) and moisture may be added by sprinkling at the plant or at site as per the requirement. 1.8.4 Rolling is to be carried out in layers of not more than 300 mm each, following the same camber profile as provided in the sub grade layer and to be maintained upto the top layer. 1.8.5 No provision for un compacted portion may be made on the edges of embankment. The sides may be hand rammed with a suitable rammer. 89 Signature of the tenderer Under seal of the firm Note: The engineer should generally expect to get MDD above 2.1 gm/cc, and OMC in the range of 5-9%, as matter of guidance. 1.9 1.9.1 Quality Control Checks on Finished blanket work: Degree of compaction of each layer of compacted blanket should be ascertained by measurement of dry density/Relative Density of soil at locations selected in specified pattern. The method of sampling, frequency of tests, method of tests to be conducted and acceptance criteria to be adopted are as under. 1.9.2 Method of Sampling: 1.9.3 (a) The sampling adopted has to be such that effectiveness of proper compaction having been done for the entire area under consideration can be judged. For this, the Engineer in-charge should lay down the method adopted in detail depending on site conditions and accordingly records of checks done are properly maintained. However, in absence of such procedure laid down, following method should be adopted: (b) Suggested method of sampling: For each layer, a minimum of one sample at a predetermined interval (in compliance with the requirement stated in next para) along the centreline of the alignment would be taken. The checking points may be staggered to the extent possible. (c) Frequency of Tests: Density check would be done for every layer of blanket material as per following minimum frequency : At least one density check for every 200 sq.m of blanket layer. (say, every 18 to 30 m for single line, or doubling work and every 12 to 16 m for a double line construction.) Method of in-situ dry density measurements: Any of the following methods could be adopted as per the requirements at site. Method of measurement i) Sand Replacement Method Procedur e of test As per IS2720 (Part 28) 1974 ii) Core Cutter Method As per IS2720 (Part 29) 1975 iii) Nuclear Moisture Density Gauge As issued by RDSO iv) Compactor As issued Parameters to Remarks be measured May be adopted for all type of a) Insitu Dry material Density b) Moisture content In some of the coarse-grained -dosoils (with little fines) taking core cutter samples is difficult. In such cases, sand replacement method may be used for density measurement. a) Bulk density May be used in consultation b) Moisture with RDSO content c) Dry density d) Degree of compaction As issued by May be used in consultation 90 Signature of the tenderer Under seal of the firm meters fitted on roller ( On roller continuous compaction control) 1.10 by RDSO RDSO with RDSO. Acceptance Criteria: 1.10.1 The material should pass the test criteria laid under Para 1.6 above. 1.10.2 The blanket material, which contains fines passing 75 micron IS Sieve, upto 5 percent should have the Density Index (Relative Density) a minimum of 70% as obtained in accordance with IS: 2720 ( Part 14) – 1983. 1.10.3 For other materials, field dry density should not be less than maximum attainable dry density obtained in field compaction trial. However, in field compaction trial, the maximum attainable dry density should not be less than 98% of MDD values as obtained by Heavy Compaction Test (IS: 2720 (part 8) – 1983) in the laboratory. In case, there are difficulties in achieving 98% of the MDD values as obtained by Laboratory test, in the field trials, the same may be relaxed upto 95% of MDD with the specific approval of Chief Engineer/construction, recording reasons of such relaxation. 1.10.4 During widening of bank in case of gauge conversion and rehabilitation of unstable formation, compaction of blanket layer should be minimum 95% of MDD as obtained by Laboratory test as per Heavy Compaction Test (IS: 2720 (part 8) – 1983) or 70% Relative Density for cohesionless soil (IS: 2720 ( Part 14) – 1983). 1.11 Measurement: 1.11.1 Measurement of blanket material should be done on the basis of finished cross section after the material and workmanship have been accepted as per the above criteria. No deduction is to be made towards voids. 1.11.2 In very rare cases, where it is not possible to take blanket material on finished subgrade, measurement may be done on the basis of stack measurement with the permission of Chief Engineer in-charge. It may be necessary to frame different schedule items for different methods of measurement. There should be no occasion to change the method of measurement unless specifically provided for in the tender documents duly approved by competent authority. 1.11.3 Method of measurement in case of stack measurement may be the same as in case of ballast incorporated in "Specification for track ballast-1999". 1.11.4 It is advisable to tally the quantity and quality measured at site with the ' Incoming Materials Register' maintained at plant (para 1.10.6.4) as a means of double check. 1.12 Formation Level: Finished top of sub-grade level may have variation from design level by + 25 mm and finished top of blanket layer may also be permitted to have 91 Signature of the tenderer Under seal of the firm variation from design level by plus 25mm. The ballast should be placed only on level formation without ruts or low pockets. 1.13 1.14 Cross Slope: Cross slope should be within 1 in 28 to 1 in 30. General aspects of Mechanical Compaction a) The spreading of material in layers of desired thickness over the entire width of embankment should be done by mechanical means and finished by a motor grader. The motor grader blade shall have hydraulic control suitable for initial adjustment and maintain the same so as to achieve the slope and grade. b) Thickness of layer is decided based on field compaction trials. However, as a good practice thickness of layer should be generally kept as 250mm for blanket material in loose state before compaction. c) The rolling for compaction of fill material should commence from edges towards center with minimum overlap of 200mm between each run of the roller. In final pass, roller should simply move over the surface without vibration so that top surface is properly finished.. d) Top of the formation should be finished to cross slope of 1 in 30 from one end to other towards cess / drain in multiple lines and from center of formation to both sides in single line. e) Once the top surface of the formation has been finished to proper slope and level, movement of material vehicle for transportation of ballast, sleepers etc. should be avoided since these movements will cause development of unevenness, ruts on the surface which will accumulate water and weaken the formation. 92 Signature of the tenderer Under seal of the firm 2.

The tied in place reinforcement shall be approved by the Engineer – In- Charge prior to concrete placement. Spacers shall be of such materials & designs as will be durable not lead to corrosion of the reinforcement & not cause spalling of the concrete cover. The concrete cover shall be constructed at the same proportion of original concrete. 9.5 Binding Wire shall be 16gauge soft annealed wire. Ends of the binding wire shall be bent away from the concrete surface & in no case encroach into the concrete cover. 9.6 Substitution of reinforcement, laps/splices not shown on the drawing shall be subject to Engineer-in-charge’s approval. 10.0 10.1 TOLERANCE Tolerance for form work & concrete dimensions shall be as per IS: 456-2000 unless specified otherwise. 11.0 PREPARATION PRIOR TO CONCRETE PLACEMENT 11.1 Before concrete is actually placed in position, the inside of the form work shall be cleaned & mould oil applied, inserts & reinforcement shall be correctly positioned & securely held, necessary openings, pockets etc provided. 11.2 All arrangement, formwork, equipment & proposed procedure, shall be approved by Engineer–In–Charge. Contractor shall maintain separate pour card for each pour as per the format supplied by RITES. 12.0 12.1 TRANSPORTING, PLACING & COMPACTING CONCRETE Concrete shall be transported from the mixing plant to the form work with minimum time lapse by methods that maintain the required workability & will prevent segregation, loss of any ingredients or ingress of foreign matter of water. 12.2 In all cases concrete shall be deposited as nearly as practicable directly in its final position. Concrete shall not be rehandled or caused to flow to avoid segregation. For locations where direct placement is not possible & in narrow forms Contractor 112 Signature of the tenderer Under seal of the firm shall provide suitable drops & ‘Elephant Trunks’. Concrete shall not be dropped from a height of more than 1.0 m. 12.3 Concrete shall not be placed in flowing water. Under water, concrete shall be placed in position by tremies or by pipe line from the mixer & shall never be allowed to fall freely through the water. 12.4 While placing concrete the contractor shall proceed as specified below & also ensure the following: a) b) Continuously between construction joints Without disturbance to forms or reinforcement. c) Without disturbance to pipes, ducts, fixings & like to be cast in ; ensure that such items are securely fixed.

Provide sheeting if necessary. In supported excavation withdraw the linings progressively as concrete is placed. If placed directly into hardcore or any other porous material, dampen the surface to reduce the lose of water from the concrete. h) i) Record the time & placing of structural concrete. 12.5 Concrete shall normally be compacted in its final position within thirty minutes of leaving the mixer. Concrete shall be compacted during placing with approved vibrating equipment without causing segregation until it forms a solid mass free from voids thoroughly worked around reinforcement & embedded fixtures & into all concern of formwork. Immersion vibrator shall be inserted vertically at points not more than 450 mm apart withdrawn slowly till air bubbles ceases to come to the surface, leaving no voids. When placing concrete in layers advancing horizontally, care shall be taken to ensure adequate vibration, blending & moulding of the concrete between successive layers.

Over vibration shall be avoided. 12.6 Except when placing with slip form, each placement of concrete in multiple lift work , shall be allowed to set for at least 24 hours after the final set of concrete before the start of subsequent placement. Placing shall stop when concrete reaches the top of the opening in walls or bottom surface of slab , in slab & beam 113 Signature of the tenderer Under seal of the firm construction , and it shall be resumed before concrete takes initial set but not until it has time to settle as determined by Engineer–In–Charge. Concrete shall be protected against damage until final acceptance. 13.0 CURING Curing and protection shall start immediately after the completion of the concrete to protect it from: a) Premature drying out, particularly by solar radiation & wind. b) Leaching out by rain & flowing water; c) rapid cooling during the first few days after placing. d) high internal thermal gradients; e) Low temperature or frost; f) Vibration & impact which may disrupt the concrete & interfere with its bond to the reinforcement. 13.1 All concrete, unless directed otherwise by Engineer-in-Charge, shall be cured by use of continuous sprays or ponded water or continuously saturated coverings of sacking, canvas, hessian, or other absorbent material for the period of complete hydration with a minimum of Ten days. The quality of curing water shall be the same as that used for mixing. 13.2 Where a curing membrance is directed to be used by the Engineer-in-Charge, the same shall be of non-wax base & shall not impair the concrete finish in any member. The curing compound to be used shall be got approved from Engineer in-Charge before use & shall be applied with spraying equipment capable of a smooth, even textured coat. 13.3 Covering the surface with an impermeable material such as polyethylene, which shall be well sealed & fastened, may also do curing. 13.4 Extra precautions shall be exercised in curing concrete during cold & hot weather. 14.0 CONSTRUCTION JOINTS & KEYS 14.1 Construction joints will be as shown on the drawing or as approved by Engineerin–Charge. Concrete shall be placed without interruption until Completion of work between construction joints. If stopping of concreting becomes unavoidable anywhere, a properly formed construction joint shall be made with the approval of Engineer–in–Charge. 14.2 Dowels for concrete work, not likely to be taken up in the near future, shall be coated with cement slurry and encased in lean concrete as indicated on the drawings or as directed by the Engineer – In- Charge. 14.3 Before resuming concreting on a surface which has hardened all laitance & loose stone shall be thoroughly removed by wire brush / hacking & surface washed with high pressure water jet & treated with thin layer of cement slurry for vertical joints & a 15mm thick layer of cement sand mortar for horizontal layers, the ratio of cement & sand being the same as in the concrete mix. 114 Signature of the tenderer Under seal of the firm 14.4 When concrete is to be resumed on a surface, which has not fully hardened, all laitance shall be removed by wire brushing, the surface wetted, free water removed and a coat of cement slurry applied. On this a layer of concrete not exceeding 150mm thickness shall be placed & well rammed against the old work. There after work shall proceed in the normal way. 15.0 REPAIR & REPLACEMENT OF UNSATISFACTORY CONCRETE 15.1 Immediately after the shuttering is removed, all the defective areas such as honeycombed surfaces, rough patches, holes left by form bolts etc. Shall be brought to the notice of the Engineer–In–Charge who may permit patching of the defective areas or reject the concrete work. 15.2 All through holes for shuttering shall be filled for full depth & neatly Plugged flush with surface. 15.3 Rejected concrete shall be removed & replaced by contractor at no additional cost to RITES 15.4 For patching of defective areas all loose materials shall be removed and the surface shall be prepared as directed by the Engineer–In–Charge. 15.5 Bonding between hardened & fresh concrete shall be done either by placing cement mortar or by epoxy . The decision of the Engineer–In-Charge as to the method of repairs to be adopted shall be final & binding on the contractor & no extra claim shall be entertained on this account. The surface shall be saturated with water for 24 hours before patching is done with 1:5 cement sand mortar. The use of epoxy for bonding fresh concrete shall be carried out as directed by Engineer–In–Charge. 16.0 HOT WEATHER RERQIREMENT 16.1 Concreting during hot weather shall be carried out as per IS: 7861(Part -I). 16.2 Adequate provisions shall be made to lower concrete temperature, which shall not exceed 400 C at the time of placement of fresh concrete. 16.3 Where directed by Engineer–In–Charge, Contractor shall spray non-wax based curing compound on unformed concrete surfaces at no extra cost. 17.0 COLD WEATHER REQUIREMENTS 17.1 Concreting during cold weather shall be carried out as per IS: 7861 (part- II) 17.2 The ambient temperature during placement & up to final set shall not fall below 50 C. Approved antifreeze /accelerating additives shall be used where directed. 17.3 For major & large scale concreting works the temperature of concrete at times of mixing & placing , the thermal conductivity of the formwork and its insulation and stripping period shall be closely monitored 115 Signature of the tenderer Under seal of the firm ANNEXURE - 'A' 5.TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION FOR THERMIT WELDING 1.0 Portion for welding. 1.1 The 'portion' used for welding shall conform to the technical requirements as mentioned in IRS:T-19-1994. The suitability of the 'portion' for the welding process in respect of the type and section of rails to be welded shall be ensured before commencing welding. Only RDSO certified/passed portions should be used for welding. 1.2 Equipment and staff for welding : The list for one set of A.T. welding equipment by short preheating process is given in Annexure 2. The composition of thermit welding team is given in Annexure 3. 1.3 Preparation of rail ends to be welded : The rail end face and adjacent sides at foot (top and bottom), web and head up to 50 mm shall be thoroughly cleaned using kerosene oil and brushing with wire brush to remove all dirt, grease and rust before welding. Any burrs at the rail ends shall be removed by chiseling or grinding. Normally, no alumino -thermic welded joint shall be located closer than 4 m from any other welded or fish plated joint. 1.4 Gap between rail ends : The two rail ends to be welded shall be held in position with a uniform and vertical gap as per gap specified in Annexure 1. The uniformity and verticality of the gap shall be measured by a gauge prior to welding. In case of wide gap 50 + 1 / 75 + 1 mm welding, for repairing fractured /defective welds, it shall be ensured that the end faces are vertical. In LWR/CWR territory, hydraulic/mechanical rail tensor of suitable and approved design should be used for maintaining correct rail gap during welding. 1.5 1.5.1 Preliminary work prior to welding. In case of in-situ welding the rail fastenings for at least five sleepers on either side of the proposed weld shall be loosened. The sleepers adjacent to the joint to be welded shall be shifted to obtain a clear working space of 250 mm on either side to accommodate the moulds, clamps, preheating equipment, etc. The rails shall then be properly aligned, both horizontally and vertically. 1.5.2 When the welding work is carried out on cess, full rail length shall be levelled by supporting on at least ten wooden blocks on either side. The rails shall be properly aligned in horizontal and vertical direction and held in position. Alignment of rail ends before welding The rail ends to be welded shall be aligned in horizontal and vertical planes to the dimensional limits indicated below. 1.6 1.6.1 1.6.1.1 Lateral alignment : The two rail ends, after alignment shall be within + 0.5 mm. when checked with a 1.0 m straight edge at rail ends [ Fig. 4.7.1.1(a) & (b)]. Any 116 Signature of the tenderer Under seal of the firm difference in the widths of rail heads shall always be fully kept on the non-gauge side, correctly aligning the rail ends on the gauge face. 1.6.1.2 Vertical alignment: The joint shall be kept higher by 3 to 4 mm for 72 UTS rails and 2 to 2.4 mm for higher UTS rails when measured at the end of 1 m straight edge ( as compensation against sagging caused by differential shrinkage on cooling) (Fig. 4.7.1.2). This shall be achieved by wedges applied on the rail supporting blocks on both sides of the joint. 1.7 1.7.1 Fixing of mould Only prefabricated moulds supplied by the portion manufacturer shall be used for welding. These are to be made by mixing high silica sand to IS:1987 with sodium silicate to the required consistency, followed by passage of carbon dioxide gas. These prefabricated moulds shall have adequate permeability for escape of mould gases and adequate reinforcement to avoid mould crushing during transportation and welding. 1.7.2 Before mounting on the rail ends to be welded, each pair of moulds shall be examined for defects, dampness, cracks, blocked vents, etc. and defective moulds discarded. The prefabricated moulds shall be handled with care as they are fragile and liable to breakage. 1.7.3 During fixing the moulds, it shall be ensured that the Centre line of the rail gap coincides with Centre line of the mould to avoid cross joint. The mould jackets/shoes holding the pre-fabricated mould in a snug fit condition, after fixing, shall be tightened by the application of adequate pressure. Excessive pressure may cause breakage of mould and dropping of sand inside the mould cavity. Care shall be taken during application of adequate pressure, it is essential for the moulds to fit flush to each other across the bottom of the rail flange which can be checked by feeling with fingers across the junction of the two halves of the moulds and by looking down the riser aperture. The moulds should touch the bottom of rail foot to ensure proper size of collar at the bottom. 1.7.4 After fixing the moulds, the gap between mould and the rail shall be packed firmly with luting sand to prevent leakage of liquid weld metal. To protect the rail top table from metal splashes during reaction, the adjacent rail surface on either side of the moulds shall be covered with metal cover or smeared with luting sand upto 15 cm. on either side. Preheating After fixing and luting of the moulds, the rail ends shall be uniformly pre-heated throughout the rail section with specially designed air petrol/compressed air petrol/ oxygen-LPG burner as the case may be. The flame shall be properly adjusted to achieve the desired rail temperature. The pre-heating shall be done from the top of the mould box for stipulated period for welding technique adopted, so as to achieve a temperature of around 600 + 200C. 1.8 1.8.1 1.8.2 In welding process using air petrol burner, the compressor tank pressure during operation of the burner shall be maintained at 7 + 0.70 kg/cm2 (100 + 10 lb per sq. in). In case of pre-heating by oxygen and LPG cylinders shall be adjusted in the range of 7.0-8.0 kg/cm2 and 2.0-2.5 kg/cm2 respectively. While preheating with 117 Signature of the tenderer Under seal of the firm oxy-LPG burner LPG supply should be opened first and the gas ignited, thereafter oxygen supply should be opened. While closing, oxygen supply should be stopped first followed by LPG supply. The burner shall be properly adjusted during preheating to ensure that the head, web and foot of both the rail ends are heated uniformly. 1.8.3 Preheating time : Preheating time would be about 10 to 12 minutes and 2 to 2.5 minutes for air-petrol and oxy-LPG preheating techniques respectively. The actual preheating time would depend upon the rail section and welding technique adopted as given in Annexure 1. 1.8.4 Special emphasis shall be given to the tank pressure, efficiency of burner and flame condition for achieving required rail temperature within the stipulated time. From time to time or in case of any doubt with a view to maintain proper quality control, temperature measuring devices like optical pyrometer, contact type pyrometer or temperature indicating crayons may be used for measuring rail end temperature just after completion of preheating i.e. after removal of burner. 1.9 1.9.1 Welding The crucible lined with refractory material (magnesite/crushed alumina slag) and fitted with bottom stone and thimble shall be preheated before making the first weld of the day to ensure freedom from moisture. 1.9.2 Slag shall be cleaned from the crucible after each reaction, if necessary. During cleaning, care shall be taken not to damage the refractory crucible lining. The lining shall be examined regularly and patch repairing, or relining as necessary shall be carried out. 1.9.3 The crucible shall be positioned relative to the pouring gate with respect to its height from the mould after it has been placed on the stand mounted on the rail head. The tap hole in the crucible shall be sealed with closing pin, asbestos powder and stag power. The 'portion', for the required technique, shall be thoroughly hand mixed and poured into the crucible striking the crucible wal so that the bottom plugging remains undisturbed. The portion shall be coned to the Centre of the crucible and a sparkler be placed at the top. The crucible shall then be brought to the proper position over the mould in line with the pouring gate of the mould with a vertical distance of about 50 mm. between the tap hole and sand core/top of the pouring gate. 1.9.4 After preheating the rail joint, the sparkler shall be ignited and inserted in the portion at the Centre top to start the reaction. The reaction shall not be vigorous or boiling. By the time the reaction is completed the burner shall be removed quickly and the gap closed with a dried sand core in case of central pouring to prevent loss of heat and turbulence during flow of metal. The time period between removal of burner and tapping of metal should be as minimum as possible. After the reaction subsides, about three seconds shall be allowed for the separation of slag from the metal, which may be judged by looking into the crucible through coloured glass to IS:5983. Thereafter, the molten steel shall be tapped into the mould by striking the closing pin with a tapping rod. It shall be ensured that since the commencement of the reaction, thermit steel is tapped within the time limit as specified in Annexure 1. Care shall be taken to ensure that the crucible does not move from its position 118 Signature of the tenderer Under seal of the firm during tapping. When pouring is over, the crucible and swivel stand shall be removed and kept aside without disturbing the joint. If the reaction is found to be boiling, the metal shall be out-tapped. Vivorous reaction and loose closing of crucible may cause self tapping. In this case also, the metal shall be out tapped. If, in any case, self tapped metal enters the mould, the joint shall be rejected, cut and rewelded. In cases of out tapping, the joint should be cooled to ambient temperature and the process of welding restarted a fresh. However, if temperature can be measured, the rail end may be heated to an extent so as to achieve temperature of about 600 + 200 and welding of joint may be completed. 1.9.5 After pouring, molten metal shall be allowed to cool and solidify with mould intact for the stipulated time (mould waiting time) depending upon the rail section and ambient temperature. In case of alloy steel rails, full rail section up to 300 mm on either side of the joint shall be heated by using burner during this period. The mould shoes shall be removed just prior to completion of mould waiting time. The mould waiting time is generally four to six minutes for 25 mm gap joints. After the mould waiting time has elapsed, the trimming should be done by using weld trimmer of suitable and approved design without knocking out the mould. List of approved manufacturers of rail profile weld grinder and weld trimmer is given at Annexure 4. In the ventuality of sudden failure of weld trimmer, manual chipping may be resorted to. In case of welding of old rails, if it is not possible to use weld trimmer due to flow of metal at rail head, manual chipping should be done. 1.9.6 During the trimming operation, it shall be ensured that the wedges used in aligning are in their proper places without loosening, and they are not removed for at least 20 minutes after stripping. The runner and riser must not be removed until cold, and that too only by knocking towards the rail. 1.9.7 No welding shall be carried out if it is raining. In case, the rains start while the joint is under execution, immediate arrangement to adequately cover the site shall be made. 2.0 2.1 Operations subsequent to welding. Post weld cooling In case of welding of head hardened rails, the average hardness of the HAZ of the rail becomes considerably less than the parent rail hardness. This lower hardness is due to transformation of rail steel occurring at cooling rate much lower than that achieved during the original head hardening operation. Such a hardness difference can lead to differential plastic deformation during wheel rail contact which may cause localized cupping. head hardened rails, therefore, must be subjected to controlled quenching for a specific time by the arrangement approved for the technique. 2.2 Post weld packing of sleeper : Before the passage of traffic, the wedges used for aligning should be removed and joint sleepers which were shifted to obtain the clear gap of 250 mm on either side as per para 1.5.2 shall be re-shifted to the original location and repacked. Packing of these re-shifted sleepers should be carried out gently and carefully. 119 Signature of the tenderer Under seal of the firm 2.3 Passing of traffic : The first train should be allowed to pass on the newly welded joint only after 30 minutes have elapsed since pouring of weld metal. Necessary speed restriction shall be observed until the grinding operation is over. 2.4. 2.4.1 Grinding. After the excess metal is trimmed off, the grinding of the remaining metal on the rail table and the sides of the rail head shall be carried out only with rail profile guided grinding trolley of approved design. Use of hand files should not be resorted to except in unavoidable circumstances. In the case of in-situ joints, the grinding shall commence only after the sleeper fastenings are reflexed, after the removal of wedges. The rail table shall first be ground down to original profile and checked by a one metre straight edge. This should be followed by grinding of the sides of rail head. The accuracy of grinding shall be checked by using 10 cm straight edge. While grinding, only light pressure should be applied and grinding wheel should be moved to and fro to avoid local over heating. 2.4.2 Tolerances on finished welds : All the finished joints shall be checked to ensure that the joint geometry is within the following tolerances: (i) Vertical alignment : Variation not more than + 1.0 mm,-0 mm measured at the end of one metre straight edge. (ii) Lateral alignment : Variation not more than + 0.4 mm. -0 mm measured at the end of 10 cm straight edge. (iii) Finishing of top surface : + 0.4 mm, -0 mm measured at the end of 10 cm straight edge. (iv) Head finishing on sides : + 0.3 mm over gauge side of the rail head measured at the Centre of 10 cm straight edge. Note : In specific cases, for joint geometry, in case of old rails, dispensations may be permitted by Chief Engineer. The method of checking the geometry of welded joints is illustrated in Fig. 5.4.2. 2.5 Record of joint geometry : The details of geometry of each joint shall be jointly signed by the firm's and RITES' representative and kept as record. Any joint found not conforming to the above stipulations shall be cut and rewelded, free of cost, by the firm. 2.6 Marking. Each joint shall have a distinctive mark indicating month, year, agency, welder's code and weld number of the welded joint in the following manner. Month Last two digits of Year Agency 120 Specific person number Weld No. Signature of the tenderer Under seal of the firm This should be done by punching on an aluminium strip of suitable thickness and dimension of 30 x 100 mm which should be fixed to the web of the rail with epoxy adhesive at approximately 300 mm from the joint. The welded joints shall be serially numbered. Repair welds/additional welds done at a later date may be given continuing weld number. For example, the last thermit weld number 88 and subsequently a thermit weld has been executed, it shall be numbered 89, irrespective of its location. Engineer-in-Charge shall maintain 'Thermit Weld Register' as per proforma given in Annexure 5. No punch marking should be done on the rail. 2.7 Painting of thermit welds Painting of weld collar should be done on all welds to protect them against normal and severe corrosion immediately after the welding. The procedure of painting and specification of paint is outlined in Annexures 6 and 7. 3.0 Accepted tests 3.1 Visual Inspection : All the welded joints shall be examined carefully to detect any visible defect like cracks, blow holes, etc. Any joint, which shows any visible defect should be rejected. 3.2 Dimensional check : All finished joints shall be checked for dimensional tolerances which should be within the tolerances as specified in para 2.4.2. 3.3 Ultrasonic flaw detection test : All the fusion welded joints shall be ultrasonically tested and accepted by the purchaser or his representative as per the 'Procedure for ultrasonic testing of thermit welded rail joints' given at Annexure 8. This testing shall be completed as early as possible but in any case before the contractor/welding team leaves the welding site. 3.4 Rewelding of defective joints. 3.4.1 All the joints found to be defective as per acceptance tests as given in paras 3.1, 3.2 & 3.3 and/or joints failed in guarantee period as specified in para 4.3 will be cut and rewelded by the firm free of cost using their portions, equipment, labour and consumables. 3.4.2 Where one bad joint is required to be replaced by two new joints, the entire cost of both the joints shall be borne by the firm. 3.4.3 All the rewelded joints should meet the acceptance tests as indicated in paras 3.1 to 3.3. 3.5 Sample test joint. 3.5.1 One out of every 100 joints welded shall be selected at random by the purchaser or by the inspecting officer within one month of welding and subjected to hardness, transverse load/ deflection tests and porosity as per clause 4.2 of IRS:T19-1994 ( reproduced partly as Annexure 9 for ready reference) and the joint shall comply with the provisions laid downs therein. 121 Signature of the tenderer Under seal of the firm 3.5.2 If the sample test joint fails to satisfy any of the requirements of specification IRS-T-19-1994, the RITES will be at liberty to suspend further welding. However, two more randomly selected joints from the same lot of 100 joints shall be subjected to re-tests as per clause 1.1 of IRS-T-19-1994. Both the joints should clear all the tests. If this report is also not satisfactory, further welding of joints shall be suspended until the firm's welding technique has been examined and the same satisfies the requirements of IRS:T-19-1994. 3.6 3.6.1 Guarantee Rail joints welded by a firm shall be guaranteed against failure for a period of one year from the date of welding the joints in track or from the date such welded joints made 'in cess' are inserted in the track. Any such welded joint which fails within the guarantee period shall be rewelded free of cost by firm as per stipulations of para 3.4 In case of failure of sample test joint ( refer para 3.5), the period of guarantee for 100 joints represented by the sample joint shall be extended for a further period of one year. In case of failure of joints or joints exhibiting signs of failure by cracking within extended period of guarantee, the joints shall be rewelded free of cost by the supplier as per stipulations of para 3.4. 3.6.2 3.6.3 The welded joints with the extended period of guarantee shall be marked 'X' with yellow paint one the outer side of the web of the rail near the joint in addition to the marking prescribed in para 2.6. Such marked joints shall be kept under careful observation by the purchaser. 3.7 3.7.1 Other requirements Welding shall be supervised by trained welding supervisor and carried out by trained welder having valid competency certificate from RDSO/TPP, NR, Lucknow in their possession. 3.7.2 A welding supervisor shall supervise not more than two welding teams deployed within 50 m distance at a time. 3.8 Precautions. While carrying out welding at site, the following precautions shall be observed: i) ii) iii) It should be ensured that the portion being used matches with type and chemistry of rail. Rail ends should be square. Alignment of rail ends should be perfect as checked by straight edge. iv) Rail ends should be properly cleaned with kerosene oil and wire brushes. v) Stop watch should be provided to the welding supervisor at each welding site. vi) Pressure in the tanks/cylinder should be properly maintained during preheating. vii) Correct gap between rail ends at head, web and foot shall be ensured. 122 Signature of the tenderer Under seal of the firm viii) Correct gap between rail ends at head, web and foot shall be ensured. ix) Tightness of clips fitted with hose connections to compressor tank and burner shall be checked before commencing preheating. x) Nozzles of burners shall be cleaned periodically to avoid back-fire. xi) The compressor tank shall be kept at least 2 to 3 m away from the burner to prevent fire hazard. xii) The tapping shall be done within the time specified for that particular technique. Welding parameters for techniques presently being used are available at Annexure 1 For special type of welding i.e. 75 mm gap, combination joint, etc. the time of reaction and tapping shall be as stipulated by RDSO for that particular welding technique. xiii) Arrangements for giving first aid shall be available at site. xiv) Welders should be provided with gloves and coloured glasses. xv) Boiling portion shall be out tapped. xvi) No moist portion/torned portion bag shall be used for welding. xvii) Dampness in moulds can lead to porosity and early fatigue failure of welds. xviii) Only those contractual agencies as have clearance from the RDSO /Railway Board can execute welding work. Supply of portions must be from sources approved by RDSO/Railway Board. xix) Many weld failures show evidence of badly cut rail ends. The evenness and verticality of a rail cut depends solely upon the skill of the welder. With portable disc cutters, very little skill is required to produce good cut. 123 Signature of the tenderer Under seal of the firm ANNEXURE -1 I. 1. II. 1. III. 1. IV. 1. STATUS OF VARIOUS A.T.

This procedure covers the requirement of ultrasonic testing of alumino thermic (AT) welded rail joints immediately after execution of the weld. 2. General conditions of test 2.1 Surface preparation After execution of the AT weld, the welded zone shall be dressed properly to facilitate placement of probes and to avoid incidence of spurious signals on the CRT. The rail table shall be dressed to obtain reasonably flat and smooth surface. The flange and the web, up to a distance of 200 mm on either side of the weld collar shall be thoroughly cleaned with a wire brush to ensure freedom from dust, dirt, surface unevenness, etc. 2.2 Couplant: Water/soft grease shall be used as couplant. 2.3 Sensitivity : The equipment sensitivity shall be set for normal, 700 and 800 probes in accordance with the procedure laid down in para 4. The sensitivity so adjusted shall be considered as normal gain setting and shall be utilised during AT weld testing. The sensitivity level shall not be altered during the course of testing. 3. Apparatus required 3.1 Equipment : Any model of RDSO approved rail tester shall be considered suitable for testing of AT welded rail joints. 3.2 Probes : During ultrasonic examination of AT welded joints, the following probes shall be utilised : (a) (b) (c) Normal (00), 4MHz 700,2 MHz, 800, 1.25 MHz Double crystal fitted in trolley Double crystal fitted in trolley Single crystal for hand probing. 132 Signature of the tenderer Under seal of the firm (19) 133 Signature of the tenderer Under seal of the firm 3.3 Cable : Cable : One co-axial cable of suitable length for connecting 800 probe to flaw detector shall be used. The length should not exceed more than 5m. 4. Sensitivity setting procedure 4.1 Calibration : The equipment shall be set for a depth range of 250 mm by manipulating the depth control knob suitably. Each main scale division, therefore, shall correspond to 25 mm. 4.2 Test rail The sensitivity of the ultrasonic equipment shall be set with the help of a standard AT welded rail piece of 1.5 m length having a simulated flaw at standard locations as shown in Fig.1. 4.3 Alignment of probes: Alignment of normal and 70 o probes fitted with the trolley may be checked by placing the rail tester on the test rail using water/oil as a couplant and ensuring that the probes travel along the vertical axis of the rail. 4.4 4.4.1 Sensitivity setting for 700 probes Place the trolley on the test rails shown in Fig.1. Keep the switches of all the probes in off positions and turn the potentiometer knobs of all the probes to 50% of their highest working range. 4.4.2 Switch on only 700 towards probe and move the equipment towards the drilled hole of 3 mm dia in rail head. When the probe is just in the reflecting range, a pulse corresponding to the hole shall appear on the screen which during onward traveling shall show higher amplitude. The pulse shall appear moving from right to left. The equipment should be progressively moved forward till maximum height of the pulse is obtained. At this location the height of the pulse shall be adjusted to 50% of full screen height by suitably manipulation of the gain knob. 4.4.3 The forward probe shall be switched off and the 70% backward probe shall now be switched on. In this case a flaw signal shall appear moving from left to right. The signal height in this position shall also be adjusted to 60% of full screen height. This can be accomplished through suitable manipulation of relevant potentiometer. 4.4.4 The sensitivity setting for the normal problem has to be done while keeping all other probes in off position Switch on only the normal probe and bring if above 3 mm dia hole drilled in the head of the test rail. Manipulate the potentiometer control knob to obtain echo eight of 60% of full screen height at 1.0 division horizontal scale. 4.4.5 800 probe shall be connected to the socket available in the ultrasonic equipment. The selectors switch may be set to single crystal mode. Move the probe towards the 3 mm dia hole drilled at the middle of the flange through in the AT weld and manipulate knobs to obtain a 60% full screen height on the CRT. 134 Signature of the tenderer Under seal of the firm 5. 5.1 Criteria for defect classification Any flaw signal obtained by normal probe of 40% height or more from head location shall be treated as a defective AT welded joint and any flaw signal obtained from the normal probe either from the web or the foot location shall also be a cause for rejection of the AT weld. 5.2 In the case of lack of fusion, inclusions, blow holes, etc. in the rail head, moving signal shall be obtained while testing with 700 probe. The position of onset of the signal and its corresponding range on the horizontal screen as well as their maximum amplitude shall be recorded. A welded joint showing the moving signal of 40% or more of the full screen height shall be considered as a defective welded joint. 5.3 800 probe shall be placed on the flange at a distance of 180 mm corresponding to position 'L' in Fig.2 such that ultrasonic waves are directed towards the weld. The probe shall thereafter be moved slowly in zigzag patter towards the weld. A welded joint showing a flaw echo of 40% vertical height or more with the stipulated gain setting shall be treated as a defective welded joint. Similar testing shall be carried out of 'C' and 'U' regions as shown in Fig.2. In these cases also the criteria for rejection shall remain the same. 6. The defective joints based on the criteria mentioned at para 5 shall not be allowed to remain in service and shall be cropped, re-welded and tested again. This execution shall be done by the contractor free of cost. The re-welded joints shall be scanned ultrasonically again with the same set of acceptance criteria to ensure freedom any harmful defects. 135 Signature of the tenderer Under seal of the firm ANNEXURE - 9 EXTRACTS FROM IRS: T-19-1994 CLAUSE 4.2 ON MECHANICAL AND METALLURGICAL TESTS ON TEST WELDS AND RETESTS 4.2 4.2.1 Mechanical and metallurgical tests on test welds Two new rail pieces of same section and grade, each approximately 750 mm long, shall be used to make test weld joint. The welded joint shall be made as per the technique offered by the manufacturer. The rail table and sides of rail head shall be finished to the geometrical tolerances specified in para 18.1 4.2.2 Hardness test : Brinell hardness test shall be carried out at the welded zone, heat affected zones and parent metal of the rails in accordance with IS:1500 "Method for Brinell hardness test for steel". The test shall be done on the top surface of the head of the test weld with a ball of 10 mm dia and a test load of 3000 kg maintained for 10 sec. The average hardness number ( of two readings) determined for the weld metal at locations shown as 'A' in Fig. 1 given below shall be within +20 HB of the hardness values of rail as shown in table 1.
