Railway crossing services. Railway repair cost

Railroad crossings need repairs and renovations over time. It is important to carry out annual inspections of their equipment and devices in order to ensure proper safety of movement. Repair of railway crossings is necessary, first of all, if there are recesses or places that reduce visibility while driving. It is especially important to pay attention to the flooring or covering of the railway crossing, which is most often subject to wear and tear. Company group " Transport construction» has extensive experience in the field of repairs railway tracks.

We will contact you and answer all your questions

Railway moving requires regular updating. Our company is ready to offer a range of major repairs using new and old materials. We carry out both full and partial replacement of track elements. We also carry out enhanced middle and lifting track repairs. If necessary, we carry out a complete replacement of rails, undertake grinding of rails and scheduled preventive straightening of the track. In addition, railway crossing repairs involve Maintenance, which includes constant monitoring of the condition of the crossing, ensuring long service life and good condition of the tracks with a guarantee of complete safety.

Repair of railway bridges

In addition to repairing crossings, our company undertakes the repair of railway bridges. The repair itself involves several stages, which includes an assessment of the damage and measures to eliminate it. As a result, we are able to carry out high-quality renovations of bridges that will last for many years to come. In our work we use exclusively reliable resources, thanks to which we can significantly reduce repair time.

In addition to major repairs, we carry out routine repairs of railway bridges, including constant monitoring of the facility throughout the year. In this way we quickly identify possible malfunctions bridges and carry out work to eliminate them. The railway bridge, like any object, needs updating over time. It is very important to take timely measures to eliminate the problem in order to prevent complete destruction of the bridge. By contacting the Transport Construction company, you will receive high-quality services for any restoration work of the railway bridge.

Railroad crossings are intersections of highways and railway tracks at the same level. Crossings need to be repaired and equipped with devices that ensure traffic safety, improve conditions for trains and Vehicle.

The LLC Trudovoy Desant company regularly encounters work such as repairing crossings on railway tracks and its team has extensive experience in this field of activity. Basically, such work has to be done during major repairs of the railway track and strict care must be taken to ensure that the design of the upper part of the road in the repaired area is the same as at the approaches to it.

Based on their location, these railway facilities are divided into:

1. Public railway crossings: at the intersections of public railway tracks with public roads, municipal roads and streets;
2. Non-public railway crossings: at the intersections of railway tracks with highways of individual enterprises or organizations (regardless of their form of ownership).

Repair of non-public railway crossings is carried out at the expense of enterprises or highway authorities, as well as at the expense of organizations that maintain highways and use these crossings.

Railway crossings are divided into regulated and unregulated.

Technological passages are the intersections of railway tracks with highways on the territory of an enterprise (warehouse, depot, elevator, etc.) intended to provide technological process work of this enterprise. The safety of the movement of rolling stock and vehicles on them is ensured by the administration of the enterprise.

Major renovation moving can be carried out in the amount of major and medium repairs of the track. It is advisable that crossings be located on straight sections, such as railway, and the roads crossing it. Any openings or places with reduced visibility increase the likelihood of an accident. The road must cross the railway at right angles. If this is not possible, then minimum angle must be at least 60 degrees. Other options, during a major overhaul, need to be rebuilt to reduce the sharpness of the angle.

Overhaul of railway crossing

This type of work includes the following items:

• replacement of moving deck;
• replacement of defective and unusable sleepers;
• cleaning of crushed stone;
• repair of approach roads in the railway crossing area;
• replacement, repair, painting of fences, etc.;
• straightening the path in the crossing area.

Moving repairs can be made as needed. The scope of work in this case coincides with the scope of major track repairs.

The most vulnerable point railway crossings is a flooring or covering on which vehicles travel. Various materials can be used as flooring:

• reinforced concrete slabs;
• reinforced concrete slabs with rubber coating;
• rubber chord covering.

The LLC Trudovoy Desant company is engaged not only in the repair of crossings, but also undertakes any other work related to railways, from developing construction projects or repairs of various facilities to putting them into operation. We work throughout Russia from Moscow and St. Petersburg to the eastern outskirts.

What is the problem?

1. Thousands of railway crossings across the country create huge traffic jams
There are many reasons for this. Due to the terrible condition of most crossings, the speed of movement is no more than 5-10 km/h; at higher speeds, broken crossings simply kill the suspension. On the main railway tracks the barrier is closed due to the high volume of train traffic. most time. Also, due to the peculiarities of the signaling system, the barriers do not open immediately after the train passes. And finally, the passage of railway tracks, with extremely rare exceptions, is carried out in 1 lane in each direction!

2. Traffic safety problems


Every year, up to 100 people die in traffic accidents at crossings, and hundreds are injured. Reason: a significant part of the crossings are not equipped with traffic lights, barriers and UZP (devices blocking the crossing). Equipping a controlled crossing with a barrier and a UPS reduces the risk of accidents at the crossing by 15-20 times: in 2010, only 4 accidents (1.5%) occurred at equipped crossings, and 256 accidents (98.5%) occurred at unequipped crossings. As of 2010, only 2352 (21%) are equipped with barriers and SPDs, 8896 (79%) are not equipped. However, no systematic work is being carried out in this direction: 20-30 crossings are equipped with barriers and UPS per year, at this rate of work for another 200 years.

3. JSC Russian Railways has closed more than 4,000 railway crossings in 15 years!
In 1995, there were 15,397 crossings on the country's railways, and in 2010 there were only 11,248 of them. Only in 211 out of 4,149 cases, the closure of the crossing occurred due to the construction of an overpass at different levels. Result: if in 1995 the average distance between crossings was 5 km, in 2010 it was 8 km, and in Siberia and the Far East it was 20–30 km or more. Of course, the load on the remaining crossings and their wear and tear has increased significantly.

4. Uncertain responsibility for the condition of crossings
The railway tracks themselves, the asphalt between them and 10 meters from the edge of the tracks belong not to the road workers, but to the owner of the tracks and must be maintained and repaired by him. But there is no unified register of crossings and their owners; It is not known where to go for repairs in each case. As a result, road workers, in response to requests from citizens, either have to respond with formal replies (“the crossing is not ours, we can’t repair it ourselves, we don’t know whose it is”), or acute cases, repair the crossing yourself, actually out of altruism and using funds in an inappropriate manner.

5. There are no effective measures to force owners to repair


Even if the owner of the crossing is known, it is extremely difficult to force him to repair the tracks. It would seem that the traffic police has the right to massively apply Article 12.34 of the Code of Administrative Offenses (fine up to 300 thousand rubles) to the owners of crossings, forcing them to be kept in standard condition. However, in accordance with the clarification of the Supreme Court, the railway crossing area is not considered roadway, therefore the traffic police cannot apply this fine, but is forced to contact the prosecutor’s office. Needless to say, the prosecutor’s office is completely uninterested in such cases. Thus, the procedure for forcing owners to repair crossings has not been worked out and is used extremely rarely manually and according to an individual procedure.

6. Requirements for the state of crossings are vague and soft
The main regulatory document SP 119.13330.2012 “1520 mm gauge railways. Updated edition of SNiP 32-01-95 "allows a deviation in road level from the rails at crossings where traffic is "temporarily permitted" (i.e., in fact at all) up to 20 mm at a speed of up to 15 km/h, up to 10 mm at a speed 15-25 km/h, up to 6 mm at speeds over 25 km/h. Thus, railway workers who do not want to repair the crossing simply need to put up a “10 km/h” sign instead of carrying out repairs.

What is the reason for such a careless approach by the authorities to relocations?
The fact is that in federal regulatory documents almost all railway crossings in general are considered temporary and subject to liquidation! SP 119.13330.2012 generally prescribes replacing almost all crossings with overpasses and actually prohibits the creation of new ones and the reconstruction of existing ones. All current crossings exist “on a bird’s license”, which is clearly visible in the wording:
9.1 Intersections of new lines and access roads with other railway lines and access roads, tram, trolleybus lines, main city streets and high-speed city roads, as well as with roads of all categories must be arranged at different levels. Transfers can be arranged on one level at stations and in populated areas designed for the passage of fire engines and emergency vehicles, normally closed for public use subject to compliance with safety and visibility requirements in accordance with SP 34.13330.
When modernizing existing railways, existing level crossings are subject to reconstruction and replacement with overpasses or are closed, with the diversion of roads to the passage through combined artificial structures on the railway.
Temporary storage road crossings at one level on existing railway lines and access roads permitted with the permission of the railway administration, in agreement with local authorities for the period before work on the modernization of the railway.
It is strictly prohibited to permanently maintain existing road crossings. on railways with organized passenger traffic or if the traffic intensity in certain periods of the year may exceed 50 trains per day.

And Order of the Ministry of Transport No. 46 of March 26, 2009 “On the Procedure for opening and closing intersections of railway tracks with roads (railway crossings)” leaves railroad workers the right of veto, which they almost always use.

Who pushed all this through and why? Obviously, a powerful railway lobby was at work here, which perceived and will continue to perceive all crossings as a burden. The very idea of ​​​​turning all crossings into overpasses is, of course, beautiful; it can even be presented as a concern for the safety and convenience of people. But it is completely out of touch with the reality and economic capabilities of the country! Judge for yourself: there are more than 11 thousand crossings in the country on roads of all levels, including about 1000 in the Moscow region. The average cost of one overpass is 2 billion rubles. So the construction of 11 thousand overpasses instead of crossings throughout the country will cost a fantastic amount 22 trillion (!) rubles at current prices, including 2 trillion. in the Moscow region. At the current rate of funding - and barely 100 billion rubles a year are allocated from the budgets of all levels in the country for these purposes - it will take as many as 200 (two hundred) years to solve the problem!

The findings are disappointing. The owners of the crossings, the railway workers, are well settled: they remain anonymous and do not care about them, and almost no one bothers them (neither the traffic police, nor road workers, nor other supervisory authorities, nor residents). Some crossings are completely ownerless, there are no owners, although there are railway users. You can't do anything with them either. According to the standards lobbied by railway workers, no one “owes anything to anyone”: reconstruction of old crossings is not allowed, and the opening of new crossings is actually prohibited. There are almost no investments in the safety of crossings - after all, they are considered temporary. In general, there is no systematic and comprehensive approach to relocations at the state level.

Solutions
Of course, it is necessary to increase the construction of overpasses instead of crossings at one level, spending not 100, but 300-500 billion rubles a year on this. But while the issue of financing has not been resolved, we must honestly admit to ourselves that no more than 50-60 such overpasses can be built throughout the country per year. And if we want to solve the problem of several thousand problematic crossings not in 200 years, but at least in 10-15, intensive work needs to be carried out in at least 5 more areas now.

1. Ensure that existing crossings are properly maintained by their owners so that the surface allows them to be passed at a speed of at least 30-50 km/h instead of 5-10.

2. Improve the crossing signaling so that the barrier opens within 2-3 seconds after the last car has passed.

3. Restore crossings that were closed in the 90s and 2000s. Promptly open new crossings where necessary to reduce overruns, create transport connections and relieve congestion at neighboring crossings.


4. Increase the number of crossings where there are serious traffic difficulties in ensuring passage, from 1 to 2-3 lanes in each direction (depending on the intensity of traffic on the road network and railway).

5. Equip unregulated crossings with traffic lights, barriers and UZP to improve traffic safety.

What needs to be done in each direction?
1. Proper maintenance of existing crossings
Components of the problem:
- Anonymity of owners, unknown contacts to officials and residents
- Unknown standards for the deviation of rails from the road surface
- Uncertainty of the procedure for forcing owners to properly maintain

Solution:
1. Conduct an inventory of all railway crossings in the Moscow region, collecting data on the owners of each of them. This applies to regional, federal, and local roads.
2. Place the obtained data, including contacts of the owner organizations, on the map, giving access to it to everyone.
3. Describe and illustrate regulatory requirements to the standard state of crossings, place it on the indicated map.
4. Prescribe the most effective procedure for influencing railway track owners (including contacts of supervisory agencies - traffic police, prosecutor's office, etc., sequence of appeals, links to legal norms, etc.). Recommend this procedure to residents, the Dobrodel portal, the traffic police, and all road workers.

Expected Result:
The collected data can be effectively used to force railway track owners to perform proper maintenance. In particular:
- In responses to citizens from road workers, it will be possible to indicate the real owners and culprits of the poor condition, and forward the appeals to them.
- Residents will be able to contact the owner directly or write to supervisory authorities (traffic police, prosecutor's office) in case of lack of response.
- The data can be transferred to the administration of the Dobrodel portal for direct impact on the owners of crossings and again for referral to the traffic police and the prosecutor's office.
- The traffic police and the prosecutor's office will be able to immediately issue orders and fines to the owners of crossings, without wasting time on clarifying ownership rights.
- Road workers will understand with whom to communicate to synchronize work (for example, during major road repairs).
- Identified ownerless crossings are subject to either liquidation (but with the dismantling of the rails, not the asphalt!), or, if someone needs the rails, certification and inclusion on the balance sheet of the railway track user.

2. Opening the barrier immediately after the train passes
Components of the problem:
- Current standards and practices of Russian Railways do not take into account the interests of trackless transport
- Outdated technical solutions by alarm
- Investment is needed to improve signaling

Solution:
- Adjust the regulatory documentation, specifying the need and admissibility of opening crossings immediately after the passage of a train.
- Develop, test and certify technical solutions that ensure rapid opening of the barrier after the train passes
- Provide funds for the reconstruction of the signaling to ensure the rapid opening of the barrier after the passage of the train

Expected Result:
- Will increase by 3-10% throughput existing crossings

3. Restoration of old and opening of new popular crossings
Components of the problem:
- Current standards and practices of Russian Railways practically do not allow the opening of new crossings, but only close them
- At the decision taken it will be necessary to provide access roads at the expense of road workers (coordinate road workers and railway workers)
- Identify the most promising opening locations

Solution:
- Conduct consultations at the level of the Moscow Region Government with Russian Railways on the need to open new crossings.
- Collect information from road workers and residents about the most relevant crossing locations.
- Adjust the regulatory documentation, specifying the need and admissibility of opening crossings.
- Provide funds for the construction of crossings (Russian Railways) and arrangement of approaches to them (road workers)

Expected Result:
- Existing crossings will be relieved, and the connectivity of the road network will increase.

4. Increasing the number of rows at crossings (from 2-lane to multi-lane)
Components of the problem:
- Current standards and practices of Russian Railways do not allow the opening of multi-lane crossings
- If the decision is made, it is necessary to reconstruct the access roads at the expense of road workers (coordinate road workers and railway workers)
- It is necessary to analyze and identify the most promising places for reconstruction with an increase in row rows

Solution:
- Conduct consultations at the level of the Moscow Region Government with Russian Railways on the need to reconstruct crossings.
- Analyze existing experience.
- Collect information from road workers and residents about the most problematic crossings. Select priority ones for the experiment.
- Adjust the regulatory documentation, specifying the need and admissibility of opening and reconstructing multi-lane crossings.
- Provide funds for the reconstruction of crossings (Russian Railways) and the development of approaches to them (road workers)

Expected Result:
- Many transport problems at crossings can be solved without the construction of overpasses for 2 billion, with an investment of 30-50 million.

5. Equip emergency crossings with traffic lights, UZP and barriers
Components of the problem:
- Lack of a federal program to improve crossing safety, insignificant efforts of Russian Railways
- It is necessary to set priorities, starting with crossings - hotbeds of accidents

Solution:
- It is necessary to order the Ministry of Transport of the Russian Federation to JSC Russian Railways to expand the program for reconstructing crossings to improve safety from 20-30 to 200-300 units. per year, starting with the most emergency ones.
- Receive and transmit to Russian Railways the data of the State Traffic Safety Inspectorate of the Russian Federation at the addresses of the most dangerous crossings - hotbeds of accidents that require priority equipment with UZP and barriers.
- Inclusion by the Ministry of Transport of the Russian Federation of measures for equipping crossings with UZP and barriers in the Federal Target Program “Safety” traffic 2013-2020."

Expected Result:
- Up to 100 will be saved human lives in year. Also, thanks to the reduction in the number of accidents on the tracks, the economic losses of the railway and other traffic participants from disruption of schedules and blocking of crossings will be reduced.

Who should we turn to?
Since the issue of moving is large-scale and concerns the entire country, Probok.net will submit it for consideration by the Russian Ministry of Transport. We will ask the Ministry of Transport to gather road workers, Russian Railways and the State Traffic Safety Inspectorate for a meeting, and there make a decision with deadlines and responsibilities. And of course, allocate money for this work.

Support through the Public Council under the Ministry of Transport of the Moscow Region was promised by the head of the Council L.M. Lipsitz (by the way, he suggested the idea of ​​multi-lane crossings). I hope that the proposals will be supported by both the Ministry of Transport and the Main Directorate of Road Facilities of the Moscow Region, because the problem with crossings in the Moscow region is one of the most acute.

The Moscow Railway informs about the temporary closure of railway crossings.

In connection with the planned repair of the track, from September 2 to 6, the railway crossing at 63 km of the Petelino-Kubinka-1 section of the Belarusian direction of the Moscow Railway (Nikolskoye Highway) will be temporarily closed to vehicle traffic.

From 8:00 to 18:00 daily, a temporary traffic restriction is introduced at the railway crossing for the period of scheduled repair work to modernize the track. The temporary closure of the crossing was agreed upon with the State Traffic Safety Inspectorate for the Odintsovo district of the Moscow region, the administrations of the Odintsovo municipal district and the urban settlement of Kubinka-1. Drivers are advised to use other roads until the work is completed.

From 8 a.m. on September 3 to 7 p.m. on September 5, a temporary traffic restriction is introduced for the period of repair work at the railway crossing 106 km of the Dorokhovo-Mozhaisk section of the Belarusian direction of the Moscow Railway (Mozhaisk Highway). During scheduled repairs, it is planned to replace rails, sleepers and rail fastening elements. This work will be carried out with the replacement of the crossing barrier device (UZP), which prevents unauthorized vehicles from entering the crossing; therefore, vehicle traffic will be completely closed here for three days.

The temporary closure of the crossing for the period of major repairs was agreed upon with the State Traffic Safety Inspectorate of the Mozhaisk District and the Administration of the Mozhaisk Municipal District of the Moscow Region.

On the days when crossings are being repaired, changes are made to the schedule of suburban electric trains in the Belarusian direction of the Moscow Railway. We ask passengers to familiarize themselves with the schedule in advance; all changes are posted at train stations and stations.

How will it look like

79. Infrastructure owners or owners of non-public railway tracks equip railway crossings with technical means designed to ensure the safety of the movement of railway rolling stock, vehicles and other road users, maintain sections of highways located within the boundaries of the railway crossing, in accordance with the requirements of these Conditions And technical regulations operating in the road sector.

Infrastructure owners or owners of non-public railway tracks ensure the proper maintenance and operation of barriers, crossing and barrier signaling, replacement of barrier drives, proper maintenance and operation of telephone (radio) communications, uninterrupted power supply, serviceability of external electrical networks, floodlight installations, automatic switching on and off of outdoor lighting , obtaining and replacing electric lamps for outdoor lighting, including in floodlight installations.

80. Repair of track devices at railway crossings is provided on a planned basis by the owner of the infrastructure or the owner of non-public railway tracks. When overhauling a railway track, a major overhaul of railroad crossings must be carried out. The scope of repair work for each railway crossing is determined taking into account local conditions by the owner of the infrastructure or the owner of non-public railway tracks with the preparation of calculations.

Work on the maintenance, repair, overhaul and reconstruction of the deck and roadway of the railway crossing, installation and dismantling of temporary road signs is provided by the owner of the infrastructure or the owner of non-public railway tracks.

Work on the maintenance of sections of highways located within the boundaries of railway crossings is carried out in accordance with Federal Law of November 8, 2007 N 257-FZ.

Work on repair, overhaul and reconstruction of sections of highways within the boundaries of railway crossings (with the exception of the decking and roadway between the tracks of a railway crossing) is carried out by the owner (possessor) of these sections of roads in agreement with the owners of the railway tracks.

Repair of automatic (semi-automatic) barriers, electric barriers, crossing and barrier signaling at railway crossings is carried out by the owner of the infrastructure or the owner of non-public railway tracks.

In cases where, when developing measures to carry out repair, overhaul or reconstruction of a railway track or technical means at a railway crossing, the pattern of movement of vehicles changes, the owner of the infrastructure or the owner of non-public railway tracks, at least five days before the work, must determine the order of movement of vehicles through the railway crossing, detour routes and, in agreement with the owners or other owners of highways ( who is in charge of the detour route), ensure the installation of a traffic control system, including those indicating the detour route.

After making a decision to change the traffic management scheme and/or introduce a restriction, the authorized body notifies the relevant divisions of the State Traffic Inspectorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia about the decision made and sends a TDS.

81. Before performing track work, repairing automatic devices (barriers and alarms) at railway crossings, as well as when repairing automatic blocking or power supply devices that disrupt the operation of automation at railway crossings, the owner of the infrastructure or the owner of non-public railway tracks shall develop measures to ensure safety movement during the period of work. If necessary, organize additional training for workers servicing the railway crossing, train drivers, and attendants at railway stations, assign additional workers to assist at the railway crossing, issue warnings about special conditions trains passing through a railway crossing under repair. Responsibility for ensuring traffic safety during work at a railway crossing rests with the worker on duty.

If it is impossible to complete repair work within the established time, the work contractor reports this to the owner of the infrastructure or the owner of the non-public railway tracks, who, depending on local conditions, make a decision on the operating procedure of the railway crossing, after which they give appropriate instructions to their employees and notify the relevant departments State traffic inspectorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia with an attached work schedule.

82. Periodic inspections of the condition and checks of the operation of track devices and automation equipment at railway crossings officials are carried out within the time frame and in the manner established by the owner of the infrastructure or the owner of the non-public railway tracks.

The book of reception and delivery of duties and inspection of devices at a railway crossing must be checked during each inspection of the maintenance and maintenance of the crossing: by a road foreman at least twice a month, by a track foreman at least four times a month, as well as each time they visit a railway crossing.

The results of the inspection and these orders are recorded in the specified book.

83. Infrastructure owners or owners of non-public railway tracks must systematically monitor the implementation job responsibilities employees servicing railway crossings, the condition and operation of railway crossings, as well as the quality of inspections and the implementation of planned measures to eliminate identified faults.
