Rail Clip

The preparation of construction materials is another work before track laying.

Ordinary materials include railway sleepers, steel rail, rail fasteners and some
construction equipment. Preparation works primarily refer to check the
complement and integrity of all materials.
When all preparations are ready, next step is laying the bottom ballast.

Rail Track

Ballast bed is the dependable foundation for railway track. According to the construction
procedures, ballast bed construction is divided into two parts: bottom ballast and top
ballast. There are other procedures between bottom ballast and top ballast laying. So,
bottom ballast and top ballast will be separate to introduce.

Set the thickness of bottom ballast by the design. (/rail-track.html)

Track design for main track is double track. Bottom ballast is made up medium- PRODUCT BROCHURE
coarse sand.
Spread the railway sleepers. Put sleepers on the each side of railway track equably.
Laying railway sleeper on the track manually. Keep the central point of railway
sleeper and rail track centerline in alignment.
The bottom ballast is transported to the track and unloaded equably as planned.
The compaction is realized by manual spreading and mini road roller.

Laying steel rail

Steel rail laying mainly include rail apolegamy and track laying.

Rail apolegamy is a necessary process in the track laying. Measure the length of
each rail and rail apolegamy can be based on it. It is suitable to use rails with same
length deviation. What’s more, length deviation is less than 3mm, and cumulative
deviation is less than 15mm.
Rail laying start from the rear end of turnout. The length of non-standard rails can
be determined by the location of insulation joints. Convey steel rails by the
monorail vehicle, then lift them to rail ditch manually.
 When steel rails are placed, connect them and railway sleepers by the rail fastening
system and rail components like rail joint.

Top ballast

Top ballast laying means laying ballast on the track and renovate the track to expect
result. Top ballast lying has a certain order: transport ballast- spread ballast-track
lifting- track lining- filling ballast- tamping- finishing track bed.

The first top ballast laying

Spread ballast to the track.
Track lifting. Lifting each rail up to right place and padded with ballast. Maintain
every point of steel rail at same level.
Track lining. Switch road to the centerline, make straight line and curve smooth.
Tamping. Once the top ballast is ready, the tamping machine starts to work. The
tamping is continues tree or four times.
Filling ballast. Filling crib with ballast.

The second top ballast laying

The second top ballast laying start after some trains pass. Compared to the first top
ballast laying, most procedures are same except renovate track.

Rail anchor and rail brace

Rail anchor (http://www.railway-fasteners.com/rail-anchor.html) is used to prevent

track from crawling. Rail brace is connected with steel rail through rail bolt and nuts.
Both rail anchor and rail brace are designed to keep steel rail in place and ensure the rail
safety.
