Worlds largest track layer in 2011 - Plasser & Theurer SVM1000 Infranord at Haparandabanan, Sweden
Переглядів 5,448,489
12 років томуIn Kalix, Sweden they have build a new railroad between Kalix and Haparanda (Haparandabanan) 42km new railway
I was with a friend there last week in september 2011 and filmed the machine that lay down the track. A SVM 1000 from Plasser & Theurer.
There is two machine of this model in the world and this is the only one in Europe!
And at least in 2011 it was worlds largest track layer ;)

Världens största spårläggare lägger spåret för den nya delen av nya Haparandabanan mellan Kalix och Haparanda en sträcka på 42km
Rälsläggaren är en Plasser & Theurer SVM1000 ägs av Infranord och fins endast 2st sådana i världen den andra är i Austraulien.
Samma maskin lade 2014 spåret till Hallandsås tunneln

@fergusmoffat1760 5 років тому
You won't. All they need for this track-laying machine is to get the rail-ends together and secured by the Pandrol clips so the sleeper wagons can run onto the next section of CWR. After the tracklaying is complete, they pull the rail ends together with hydraulic power to a pre-determined tension then thermit-weld the butt-joint.

Funny thing is, we could make a machine that does all the job by itself. The road cutting, the road grading the tracks and cleanup. All automated, you just have to feed it components. And as a matter of fact... we do, just not on the surface, and it's called a TBM. Those machines do it all (some, not all). They cut the road, they install tunnel walls, they clean up and lay track that they ride on.

Cool!!! One question on the location of rail joints. It makes sense in terms of install speed to align the two weld points (since the equipment has to basically stop to position the new rail segment), but even with thermite welding, aren't you pairing up your likely failure points? And another question: How does any welded-rail system handle the tendency of steel to expand or contract with changes in ambient temperature?
@arynschroeder4059 5 років тому
I HAD THE SAME QUESTION ABOUT THE JOINTS TOO. BUT ALSO, WHY PUT THE JOINTS IN BETWEEN THE RAIL TIES INSTEAD OF PUTTING THE THE TWO ENDS OF THE RAILS ON THE TIES THEMSELVES?

I am not sure about the "Worlds largest track layer" claim, but I also watched a Plasser & Theurer machine re-laying track on the Gippsland line in Victoria, Australia. Except the machine I watched was using existing continuously-welded rail sections. It removed the spikes from the wooden sleepers, lifted the track and bent it out to the side, the wooden sleeper was ejected sideways away from the track, then ballast was added, new concrete sleepers laid, and the track was brought back into gauge and fastened with the clips to the sleepers. The entire machine was similar to the one in this video, but considerably longer.

It seems like CSX is working on the tracks all the time. I have seen smaller versions of these machines pulling out old sleepers, and adding new ones. All still wood though.
@jovetj 5 років тому
The upkeep depends on what speed and tonnage the track is intended for. Most big-railroad mainline in the U.S. is inspected twice a week. Wood ties are replaced when too many have become too rotten. Rails are ultrasonically inspected once or twice a year. Signals are maintained constantly. The track is physically walked by a person once a year for a more detailed inspection.

Fascinating. Thanks for posting. I would like to know how the lengths of track are attached; bolted? welded?
@jovetj 5 років тому
They are welded together.

I get proud of sweden when i see this kind of stuff. This country has come so far without having any oil or big amounts of gases. We arent the biggest manifacturer, but what get made has quality,

+TheMatrixBot Something to be really proud of. You have no idea how big oil can put pressure on you when you are trying to break away from their grip. It's really punishing and it makes green technologies unaffordable.

+Phillip Mulligan yeah I can understand that. I just wish the world could agree at saving the world instead of being greedy as fuck :/
@ph11p3540 8 років тому
+TheMatrixBot The design of a large pavement slab machine has nothing to do with greed anymore than the track layer. The I do see that this track layer has less moving parts for the workers to be caught on than a concrete slab machine. The nice thing is the slab machine technology is quickly advancing as far as ease of operation and safety is concerned. Don't be surprised if the next few years if such a machine has been improved and shown on UKposts. As for Sweden. They are trail blazers in production technologies for speed, efficiency and most important safety. Your country has my admiration, respect, envy and I say that as a Canadian.

I don't know what concrete railroad ties weigh in Europe but in the US ties range in weight from 575 pounds for light rail applications to 900 pounds each for Amtrak and heavy-haul applications. Plus I believe I read they can last up to 70 years. Cost? They probably cost more than creosoted wood ties but between the environmental aspects and the weak lasting abilities when compared to concrete it's no wonder they're going this route. Just think of all the forests that are no more because of all the railroad ties used in North America railroad construction in the past. Anyway, now you know.

This is an international setting, use metrics only. Your system is so outdated

@@michaellaudahn Yes, the "substandard education system" used in my country does teach the ability to converse in a multitude of different measurement methods.

Look at how time it took to adjust the rails . you'd think that as complicated as this machine is that they have designed a device to automatically pull the rails together.

Exactly what I was thinking 🤔 I guess it beats manually driving spikes In creosote soaked wood timbers mile after mile like in the “good ole days”.... can’t even imagine
