Like all capital construction projects, the railway needs periodic maintenance and repair. If in the case of highways it can be a question of removing holes that appear on the asphalt surface, then in the case of a railway it is, first of all, about the alignment of the rise of the track. Both of these important operations must be performed within the tight deadlines provided for by the regulations, since these operations interfere with the passage of vehicles on the highway.
Periodic alignment of the path in plan can be performed manually, with with the help of a hand-held track tool, and by the forces of mechanized teams, which use a variety of track machines to perform the assigned tasks. The choice of the means of implementing the assigned tasks depends on the equipment of the individual brigade and financial support. Naturally, it is faster to straighten the track in terms of using specialized track machines, which can effectively replace the work of several people and increase the overall productivity of the entire brigade. Since straightening or straightening is just one of the stages of a full-fledged railway repair, as a rule, it is preceded by serious preparatory work in several stages.
The safety of railway traffic depends on a well-executed straightening, since the deviation of the trajectory can lead to the derailment of transport from the road. Before performing the operation of straightening the track in the plan, the workers carefully study the current state of the road section using a special measuring trolley or carriage. As a result, workers receive an accurate diagram of the trajectory change, indicating all areas to be straightened. After that, preliminary preparation of the site is carried out, as a result of which it is necessary to adjust the joint gaps.
Performing straightening operations is greatly facilitated by lift-and-straighten track repair machine Russian production ... With the help of the PRM, it is possible to straighten the track at an average speed of 400 meters per hour, which indicates a high productivity of one machine. Since the equipment has a full-fledged and comfortable cabin, it is possible to transport service personnel and tools in it. As an option, the track-lifting and straightening machine can be equipped with a trailed trolley that can accommodate building materials.
The low weight and size of the machine makes it possible to quickly move equipment from the railway to the roadside for the passage of trains. This tactic will allow you not to completely block traffic in very busy areas.
