Railways
is a huge sector which employs a large chunk of employable people in India. It
is the largest employer in India. Now, you can estimate the level of activities
or business done by it. However, it has never been easy for the railways sector
to be the largest employer of the country. There are a lot of complex tasks and
projects which need to be done and they need to be done within the deadlines.
This necessitates the balanced use of manpower and technology, so that the work
can be done effectively and efficiently. Moreover, safety is a big aspect which
needs to be taken care of by each and every working employee in railways.
In
today’s era, railway is catering almost each and every state of India. But
still it needs to cover some more areas or regions and no doubt it is working
in that direction. Not only this, the old tracks which have been laid by the
railways needs to be taken care of. This aspect needs more attention because of
the quantum of usage by the railways of those tracks.
Thus, regular maintenance
works needs to be done by the railways in order to keep the tracks in the
proper working condition. Here by keeping the tracks in proper working
condition, we do not meanonly the tracks, but also the other things related to
them such as poles, the crossings, the adjoining platforms etc. Many of these
things demands the usage of concrete while repairing or constructing them.
Thus, there are many works in the railways which needs the concrete mixing
task.
It
is not possible for the human labour to mix the concrete the quantity of
concrete which is required by the railway maintenance works. Because the
workers need the concrete at different points of tracks and in different
quantities, thus it will become very difficult for them to carry the concrete
in required quantity at different points of track. This is the scenario where
the need for the concrete mixing trains arises. Concrete mixer for
railways is used to provide the prepared concrete mixture for the
railway works such as maintenance or construction of the foundation blocks,
railway gantries and support poles.
These
concrete mixing trains are a type of RRVs (Rail cum road vehicles). This means
that this concrete mixing train is able to run on roads as well as on rail
tracks. In the concrete mixing trains, fully automatic or semi-automatic
concrete mixing plants are mounted over a wagon. This allows the authorities to
fulfil the demand of mixed concrete at any point of construction or repair on
railway tracks. They don’t need to rely upon the external suppliers for any
concrete mixer. The biggest benefit of having authorities’ own concrete mixing
train is that the concrete can be mixed at the required point of time and the
quality of the concrete can be tested with regards to each batch. Thus, the
optimum quality of the concrete can be ensured. Thus, transit mixer constructor actually makes a difference in work for
the railway authorities.
