DESIGN AND MANUFACTURING OF

CAPE GAUGE LOCOMOTIVES AND COACHES

Presented by:Piyush Tripathi

SCOPE OF THE PROJECT (IN ANGOLA, SOUTHERN AFRICA)

Technical Assistance Workshop Modernization Designing Planning Manufacturing Testing Commissioning Field Trials

STRATEGY FOR PROJECT MANAGEMENT

RITES (turnkey system) has successfully executed a variety of projects but never before undertaken the job related to Cape gauge locomotives and coaches

Made visits to the clients, understood their requirements, discussions with RDSO, DLW, ICF & BHEL

Not possible to conduct field trials in India so RITES (in association with BHEL) designed and developed CET Lab at BHEL

Synchronization of Power Generation and Transmission to the Traction system + Governing system and Control system was tested

Supplied to Angola and the technology has been successfully proved and established

After successful commissioning of locomotives and coaches at Angola, RITES had obtained feedback from the customer and carried out necessary modifications

RITES offered services to CFM, Angola; Layout optimization, material storage system planning, assessment of equipments, supply & commissioning of equipments, standardization of procedures in repairs of rolling stock in the workshop etc.

RITES deployed about 20 experts in all spheres of activities. RITES clearly defines the needs and international requirements of the customers

INITIAL PLANNING & SYSTEM DESIGN

Preliminary discussions Site visits & Access the requirements of technical assistance for CFM Assessment of facilities for modernization Coordination & discussions with RDSO, DLW, ICF & BHEL for complete

system design and development of prototype of locomotives & coaches including evolution of design of major sub-assemblies

CET Lab in association with BHEL

PROTOTYPE MANUFACTURE &

PROJECT MANAGEMENT Finalization of technical specification of the equipments required for the modernization of workshop at Lubango, their procurement, co-ordination with vendors for the manufacture of equipments as per customer requirement, inspection and testing of the equipments at vendor’s premises, supply and commissioning of these equipments at Angola.

Coordination and project management with DLW for design, development and prototype manufacture of cape gauge locomotives.

Coordination and project management with ICF for the design, development and manufacture of prototype cape gauge coaches.

Coordination and project management with BHEL for design, development and prototype manufacture of complete electrical system including traction and control system for rolling stock.

Co-ordination with other contractors /suppliers for design and development of major sub-assemblies and other components for their use in the rolling stock system works for manufacture, installation, testing and commissioning.

Co-ordination for design and development of wheel discs to suit track profile and their import for fitment in cape gauge locomotives and coaches.

Preparing various manuals, including maintenance and troubleshooting manuals for cape gauge locomotives and coaches, drivers instructions manual, safety manual, brake system testing manual etc.

INNOVATION & COMPLEXITYSYSTEM DESIGN

Rolling Stock Design Design and Development of Sub-assemblies Design and Development of CET Lab Operation and Maintenance Passenger Safety Modernization of the Workshop

INNOVATION & COMPLEXITYACHIEVEMENTS

Timely Completion of the Programme of Technical Assistance Timely Submission of the Technical Study Report for Rehabilitation of CFM

Railway System and Maintenance Workshops Timely Supply and Commissioning of New Rolling Stock Timely upgradation of Maintenance Workshop Less O & M Cost

VALUE ADDITION Modernization of maintenance workshop;

Regular train services

Introduction of new assets in terms of; Machinery Plant New rolling stock transformation

ROI TO THE CLIENT Low operations and maintenance cost and huge savings to the client. Access to modern design as well as safe running trains. Access to highly efficient cape gauge locomotives equipped with

microprocessor based state-of-the-art control and diagnostic system. Availability of trained manpower for efficient maintenance. Road and easy access to the expertise in various fields. Timely identification of the requirements of equipments for modernization

of the maintenance workshop.

BENEFITS TO SOCIETY/ECONOMY

Technology for design and manufacture, Increased confidence of funding agencies and government due to time

commodity, Generation of employment, Improvement in international relations, Foreign exchange earnings, Improved transport services for Angola.
