1.0 Introduction :
Foot over bridges over the Indian Railways are used by pedes trian traffic
to cross the Railway track safely.
“15.1 All s teel materials plates and s tructural s hall have s traight edges ,
flat s urfaces and be free from twis t. If necess ary, they shall be cold
straightened or flattened by pressure before being worked or assem bled
unless they required to be of curvilinear form . Press ure applied for
straightening or flattening shall be such as it would not injure the material
and adjacent surfaces or edges s hall be in close contact or at uniform
dis tance throughout.
15.2 Flattening and s traightening under hot condition s hall not be carried
out unless authorized and approved by the Ins pecting Officer.”

17.2 All flame cut edges shall be ground to obtain reasonably clean
square and true edges . Draglines produced by flam e cut s hould be
removed.”
ii) Calibrated tape for meas urement of lay out m ust be used.
Jig is the device us ed in the m ass production to locate the jo b and guide
the tool for drilling etc. While a fixture is a s im ply a device for holdin g the
work in true s hape during process in g.
The use of steel tem plates , jigs and fixtures is preferable to help in
achieving econom y, increasing production, reducing man power, reducing
hum an errors , increasing accuracy and eliminatin g s pecial m atch m arking.

ii) All welding should be preferably done in flat pos ition (horizontal).
Welding s hould be done as per drawing ens uring proper size of
weld. Over s ize welding may lead to excess ive heat affected zone
which may lead to failure of m aterial. Welding should be carried-out
in a warm and dry place s o that the rainwater or other atmospheric
elem ents m ay not come in contact while welding is in progress.
iii) Electrodes s hall confirm to Class A2 of IRSM-28 and wire for CO2
welding s hall confirm to Class 1 of IRSM-46.
iv) All cons umable shall be s tored and handled with care and in
accordance with the m anufacturer’s recomm endations .
1.9 Riveting :
23.2 All rivets s hall be properly heated to s traw heat for the full
length of the s hank, firmly backed and clos ed. The head of the
rivet, particularly in long rivets , s hall be heated more than the point
be heated, m ore than the head. Sparking or burnt rivets s hall not
be us ed. Whereas it is im poss ible to back up by normal m ethod of
holding up, ‘double gunning’ m ay be res orted to. Alternatively
pneumatic hold ing device may us ed.
23.3 Gauges for rivet dimens ions and contours s hall be provided
by contractor for the us e of the Inspecting Officer.
23.4 Rivets when driven shall com pletely fill the holes , have the
heads concentric with the shanks and shall be in full contact with
3
the s urface. Driven rivets when s truck sharply on the head with the
110-gm. rivet tes ting hammer, shall be free from movement or
vibration.
23.6 All loose and burnt rivets and rivets with cracks badly formed
eccentric or deficient heads s hall be cut out and replaced.
Permissible deviation of driven rivets shall be as per Annexure-III.
Rivets s hall also be cut out when required for the examination of
the work. Actual method of cutting out s hall be approved by the
Engineer. Recouping and caulking shall in no circums tances be
resorted to.
iii) All defective rivets and loose rivets shall be m arked on their heads
with paint and prom ptly replaced. Rivets in any com ponents should
be tes ted 100% in shop by a respons ible supervisor and maintain
the record of the same.
Final finis hing of length, profile and notches etc. it is accom plis hed by
accurate m arking with the help of templates , m eas urement and gauge
wherever necess itates and than by gas cutting (Chipping, grin ding) as the
case may be. Excessive metal is normally chipped off or gas cut (more
than 3 mm ) and the exact finishing or profiling is achieved by fine and
accurate grinding.

• Cons um ables s uch as, rivets, welding electrodes and paints
etc. are as per s tandard s pecification.
(c ) After Fabrication :
• Leading dim ensions i.e. overall length, hole dimens ions, end
finishing etc. s hall be checked. For this purpos e detail
m eas urement sheet s hall be prepared for.
