CLASSIFICATION OF RENEWALS
The track renewal works can be classified generally into one of the following categories:
(a) Complete Track Renewal (Primary): CTR (P)
(b) Complete Track Renewal (Secondary): CTR (S)
(c) Through Rail Renewal (Primary): TRR (P)
(d) Through Rail Renewal (Secondary): TRR(S)
(e) Through Sleeper Renewal (Primary): TSR (P)
(f) Through Sleeper Renewal (Secondary: TSR (S)
(g) Through Rail Renewal on P&C
(h) Through Turn-out Renewal TTR
(i) Through Fitting Renewal TFR
(j) Through Fitting Renewal on P&C
(k) Through Weld Renewal TWR
(l) Through Ballast Renewal TBR
(m) Through Bridge Timber Renewal TBTR
(n) Through Bridge Sleeper Renewal TBSR
(o) Through SEJ Renewal TSEJR
(p) Through GJ Renewal TGJR
(q) Scattered Renewal
(r) Casual Renewals
Complete and through renewals are those in which the renewal is done for long
continuous stretches of track and of the complete components respectively. These can be done
either using new material or serviceable released material. Primary or through renewals are
those in which only new materials are used and secondary renewals are those in which released
serviceable materials are used.
Scattered Renewal- In this case, unserviceable rails, sleepers and fastenings are
replaced by identical sections of serviceable track components. Effort should be made to use
material of same vintage. These are carried out in isolated locations and not more than around
10 rails and /or 250 sleepers in a gang beat in a year. Such renewals are a part of normal
maintenance operations.
Casual Renewal- In this case, unserviceable rails, sleepers and fastenings are replaced
by identical sections of serviceable and nearly the same vintage or new track components.
These are carried out in isolated locations of continuous but small stretches. Such renewals are
not a part of normal maintenance operations and cannot be covered under scattered renewals.
Casual renewal is normally done for continuous track length up to 500 m.
FACTORS GOVERNING PERMANENT WAY RENEWAL:
(1) Criteria for Primary Rail Renewal - The following are to be considered in connection with
the criteria of primary rail renewals:-
(i) Incidence of rail fractures/failures.
(ii) Wear on rails.
(iii) Difficulty in Maintainability of track to prescribed standards.
(iv) Expected service life in terms of Gross million tonnes carried.
(v) Plan based renewals.
TRACK RENEWAL PROGRAMME:

(1) Planning of Renewals –
Renewals may be planned in as long and continuous lengths as practicable,

within the available resources with priorities to meet the projected traffic. Short isolated
stretches of 10 km and less, not due for renewal on condition basis may be programmed
along with the adjoining lengths, if these stretches do not confirm to the required
standards. Priority in planning renewals should be given to busy and important lines.
Track renewal programmes shall be framed by the Chief Engineer of each Railway
taking into consideration the proposals submitted by the Divisional Engineers.
(2) Initiation of Proposals –
(a) Track renewal proposals are to be initiated by ADEN and submitted to the DEN.
The proposals should be based on specified criteria or on condition basis and also on
the basis of various inspections carried out during the year. The DEN/Sr.DEN shall
personally check the details submitted by the ADEN and after verification, Sr.DEN/Co
shall compile the track renewal programme indicating the priorities. The justification
for track works shall be prepared on the basis of factually correct data and submitted in
proforma given at Annexure 16/1.
(b) The track renewal proposal should be prepared on IRPSM website duly following
the guide lines issued from time to time. Details of locations including cost, track
structure details and details of all other annexure to be entered. All the details given in
the formats must be indicated accurately. In addition, any special features which help
establish the justification for renewal should be brought out, separately and attached
with the proposal.
(c) Documentary evidence like photographs, km wise list of Rail/weld failures, details
of wear, rail profiles and measurement of corrosion/liner bites etc. for the proposed
locations (as applicable) should be attached along with each proposal for better
appreciation. The proposals along with justification should be submitted to Chief Track
Engineers office by the end of July every year online through IRPSM portal.
(3) Verification of proposals by the Track Cell in the Chief Engineer's Office –
Important items relating to complete track renewal, through sleeper renewal or

through rail renewal shall be test checked by the nominated administrative officer of
the Headquarters who will –
(a) Study the proposals received from the divisions;
(b) Frame programmes for renewal taking into account the sections planned for
renewal;
(c) Decide priority for the works considering the total funds available;
(d) Satisfy himself that the renewal is unavoidable in the case of track renewal proposals
which are justified primarily on condition basis but are premature as far as quantum
of traffic carried (GMT) is concerned.
(e) Track renewal programme are sent by Principal Chief Engineer to Railway Board
vetted by FA&CAO and approved by General Manager of the zonal Railway by the
end of August. On receipt of Sanction of proposals by Zonal Railway, Railways shall
take following actions:
(i) Sanction of detailed estimate
(ii) Preparation of project report
(iii) Procurement of track materials
(iv) Creation of posts chargeable to work. (if required)
(v) Finalization of agency for the work.
(vi) Planning and Deployment of track machines.
