West Central Railway reported incidences of cracks in testing was prepared by RDSO. After the CMS crossings laid in track and sought guidance on the approval of above methodology by Railway action to be taken in such cases. Details were sought in Board, inspection of 100 nos Tietek sleepers has June 2011 from all zonal railways regarding been carried out recently by RDSO and NR performance of CMS crossings in respect of officials jointly. These sleepers now will be laid for development and propagation of crack laid in track in trial purpose.last three years to create a database for study of cracks in CMS crossings. The details received from Zonal Railways show 710 nos. of cracked CMS crossings out of 13187 CMS crossings. This item was also At present, reconditioning of cupped AT welding joint deliberated in 82nd TSC meeting at Bhopal in Dec 2011. and wheel burn/scab is done by using Micro Flow Metal TSC recommended the following which has been Spray Powder which gives a minimum service life of 25 approved by Railway Board: GMT and there is only one firm in the approved list.

Lab testing of four design of composite sleepers completed and field trials are ordered. Status of field trial is as under: On the recommendation of 76th TSC, Zonal Railways

were advised to carry out limited field trials of Improved The Composite FFU (Fibre reinforced foamed SEJ on curve up to 20 developed by M/s Rahee urethane) sleepers of M/s Sekisui Chemical Co. Industries Ltd., Kolkata (M/s RTT) and M/s Bina Metal Ltd., Japan have been laid in track at Bridge No. Way, Jamshedpur (M/s BMW) . Based upon field 280(UP) near Sultanpur at NR in Jan 2012 after performance of improved SEJs, Railway Board inspection of above sleepers by RDSO. Recently approved the adoption of the same on IR. Modalities for sleepers have been supplied in Southern Railway transfer of IPR to IR for improved design of SEJ up to 20 also and laying is in progress. are under process at Railway Board's level.

The issue of provision of SEJ on 20 to 40 curves was discussed in 81st TSC and accordingly it was decided that SEJ for the same will be developed by RDSO. On the basis of recommendation of RDSO, Railway Board has approved limited field trial of improved SEJ for 60 Kg on 20 to 40 curves of both the designs (M/s BMW's & M/s RTT's) in ECoR, NFR & SR.

RDSO has taken up a project on 'Optimisation of PSC Sleeper' with CHARMEC Sweden which has expertise in the area of PSC sleeper design and production. Various technical issues of the project were discussed with experts from CHARMEC and ABETONG and a report on 'Improvements in Manufacturing process of

To improve the life and performance of existing 6mm GRSP, RDSO has developed Composite GRSP. After successful lab tests and satisfactory field performance, composite GRSP has been approved by Railway Board for regular adoption. This pad is expected to have minimum service life of 8 years / 300 GMT. Specifications, STR & item specific guidelines have been prepared by RDSO. As per Railway Board's instructions, vendor development work was taken up and so far 10 vendors have been approved in Part-II category. RDSO has also finalised in service performance criteria of the same.
