ABSTRACT

The internships in companies are an important part of the students schooling at the
graduate level. Students have to do internships in the company of their choice at the end
of their final year in order to get experience in a professional context. For the last four
months, I have done my final year internship in Pakistan Railways (Mugalpura
Workshops). The main subject of my work is the application of technical skills and
ingenuity to correctequipment problems causing equipment downtime and maintenance
work. Dedication to the maintenance function and is focused on the elimination of
repetitive failures. Ensuring the maintain ability of new installations. Identifying and
correcting chronic andcostly equipment problems, eliminate repetitive failures.
Inspection, adjustments, parts, replacements, overhauls, etc., for selected equipment.

I think this internship is a great experience for my future. In order to explain this, I will
talk about internships in general, and then make the point with my professional project.
In my opinion, internships are one of the most important things in the engineer schooling.
Indeed, they contain a lot of things the student engineer will need to start in his career;
for example, taking contact with companies, writing cover letters, visualizing
management skills, and going through interviews. But most of all, it helps me to get use
to the railway environment, to interact with its different actors. Plus, it makes me to
evaluate my theoretical knowledge into practical work and it develops a certain kind of
autonomy. Globally, I would say that an Internship develop my capacity to adapt and
complete the courses I follow at the educational institutes Professionally speaking, this
internship has reinforced my interest for a work placement in Production Department asI
feel that it would suit better my professional expectations. I am pleased with what I have
done here, and what I have liked the most is the possibility to go through with what you
are working and to have the necessary time to carry things out.

Chapter 1

Backgrounds of the Pakistan Railway

After the partition of British India and the independence of Pakistan in 1947,
Northwestern State Railway had most of its infrastructure in Pakistani territory and was
renamed Pakistan Western Railway. In East Bengal, the section of the Assam Bengal
Railway in Pakistani territory was renamed the Pakistan Eastern Railway. The country
adopted 8,122 km (5,047 mi) of the North Western State Railway; 6,880 km (4,280 mi)
was 1,676 mm (5 ft 6 in), 506 km (314 mi) 1,000 mm (3 ft 3+3⁄8 in) meter gauge, and
736 km (457 mi) (762 mi) ft 6 in) narrow gauge.

Figure 1: North Western State Railway (The Eagle)

In 1954, a branch line was extended from the Karachi-Peshawar railway line to
Mardan and Charsada. Two years later, the Jacobabad-Kashmore meter gauge line was
changed to 1,676 mm (5 ft 6 in) broad gauge. The Kot Addu-Kashmore section of the
Kotri-Attock railway line was built from 1969 to 1973, providing an alternative route
from Karachi to North Pakistan. In 1974, the name of Pakistan Western Railway was
changed to Pakistan Railway. In February 2006, the 126-km (78 mi) Hyderabad–
Khokhrapar branch line was converted to 1,676 mm (5 ft 6 in). During the 2000s, all

INDUSTRIAL TRAINING REPORT Page 11


narrow gauge tracks in the country were changed to 1,676 mm (5 ft 6 in) or scrapped.
On 8 January 2016, the Lodhran-Raiwind Branch Line Double Rail project was
completed.

Working Experience

In this chapter, I discuss key learning outcomes from this training as well as other
key components and resources identified in Pakistan Railways workshops across the
country. Many types of manufacturing, production, processing and special purpose
equipment are used in all forums. Everyone knows that all machines work with some
form of energy. Electric power is suitable for control, conversion, and various other
functions.

Therefore, I used machine tools and equipment for all my manufacturing


equipment, processing, and other purposes. As a result, I found useful tools at various
workplaces. The following sections of this chapter provide a detailed discussion of
several related components and tools identified in the workshops.

I participated in workshops, which are listed here, and information about the work
and other related resources for these discussions and venues. The following paragraphs
include a detailed workshop and a quick description of my work in this workspace.

I also work in the central laboratory where I see how to check the materials with the
help of chemical or physical methods and also work on the latest testing machine
spectrometer. I also work on the mechanical testing machines there.

How the productivity can be further enhanced in diesel shop

The workshop of Pakistan Railways is a very practical institution. The best and
most profitable thing is that the workshop is completely free. It requires no external
vendors or manufacturing capabilities. This part is very powerful for railway workshop.
The main objective of a railway workshop is to maintain the locomotives, to carry out
their routine maintenance. The organization is doing its work very well but with old
techniques. Some tips are suggested to increase productivity:

1. Using modern equipment and techniques. For example that in the engine
block shop

2. Still using the old telescope for scoping and alignment. Using modern laser
and graphical techniques can save both time and money.

3. Time management and team coordination is very important in every field.


The railway system is good but needs some improvement to increase their
productivity and creativity.

4. 4. Production shops like forging, blacksmith, spring and casting shop. Can be
used to make external projects and parts. This can increase their profits and
popularity.

Quality management

1. The quality management system of Pakistan Railway Workshop is very good.


The workshop is ISO 9001:2008, which means the work is fully
standardized.

2. They are using old techniques but working with absolute quality. They have a
proper inspection and testing system. It can be further enhanced by using
modern techniques

heavy-duty gang milling operations. It is one of the most widely used processes in
industry and machine shops today for manufacturing parts to precise sizes and shapes.

Figure 8: Milling Section

Grinding Machines

Grinding machines are also considered machine tools. A distinguishing feature of


grinding machines is the rotating scraper. A grinding machine is used to achieve high
precision with a very high degree of surface finish on the workpiece.

A grinder, often shortened to grinder, is any of a variety of power tools or machine


tools used for grinding, a type of machining that uses an abrasive wheel as a cutting tool.
Uses Each abrasive grain on the surface of the wheel cuts a small chip from the
workpiece through shear deformation. Grinding is used to finish a workpiece that
exhibits high surface quality (eg, low surface roughness) and high accuracy of shape and
dimensions.

TOOL SHOP

Project Carried Out in Tool Shop

Milling Section

A milling machine removes material from a workpiece by rotating a cutting tool


(cutter) and moving it into the workpiece. Milling machines, either vertical or horizontal,
are typically used to machine flat and irregularly shaped surfaces and can be used to
drill, bore and cut gears, threads and slots.

Figure 10: Milling

Lathe Section

The term lathe machine is referred to as the "mother of machining tools", lathes can
be used for a variety of purposes. These include shaping, drilling, sanding, curving,
bending, cutting, and deformation. It's hard to beat that kind of versatility in a tool, and
it's why many metal and woodworkers rely on lathes for their work.

DIESEL REHABILITATION SHOP

Project carried out in Diesel Rehabilitation shop

Rehabilitation Maintenance Loco Engines

Rehabilitation maintenance of loco engines has two major schedule types:

1. Preventation Maintenance.

2. Schedule shed Maintenance.

Preventive Maintenance of the PR Locomotives

The performance of trains depends on the reliability and availability of trains.


Proper and efficient train maintenance is the foundation of cost-effective train
operations. Maintenance procedures have emerged from the basic principle that all
assets must receive the necessary attention before they deteriorate due to aging and
become prone to failure. This is known as maintenance retention. Train block
maintenance can be broadly divided into two headings, namely periodic adjustments and
scheduled adjustments.

Steam and Diesel Locomotives

The life expectancy of steam and diesel trains is 40 and 36 years respectively. Due
to their long lifespan, it is important that both assets are properly and periodically stored
to ensure that their condition does not deteriorate. This is how steam and diesel trains are
maintained.

INDUSTRIAL TRAINING REPORT Page 48


Schedule maintenance of Rehabilitation Shop

As part of preventive maintenance various test schedules have been developed to


give need-based attention to specific sections and parts of trains from time to time. The
inspection schedule lists all the different aspects that need to be taken into account
during the repair, depending on the aging and tear parts. The total number of kilometers
that should have been done these tests was also specified.

Steam locomotives following table outlines the various approved maintenance


schedules for steam locomotives based on the total distance in kilometers covered by the
locomotives. A diesel engine has a trip (or weekly) schedule, a fortnightly schedule, a
monthly schedule, a three-month schedule, a six-month schedule, an annual schedule, a
three-year schedule, and a six-year schedule (POH) designed for diesel locomotive.

Type of km covered by km covered by


schedule WP/WG YP/YG

Schedule I 1600 950-1100

Schedule II Every month ---

Schedule III 24,000 20,000

Schedule IV 48,000 40,000

These repair programs are based on experience and informed investigation into the
causes of train accidents. Compared to railway track, a diesel pump unit is much more
complex, often involving an indirect control system with many additional components.
As a result of this great complexity there is a great deal of inefficiencies upon the failure
of a particular component. Therefore, to ensure a high level of reliability, different
schedules for testing and maintenance have been developed. A 'service' of short
schedules, i.e. travel, bi-weekly, monthly, etc., which includes routine tests, small

INDUSTRIAL TRAINING REPORT Page 49


attention and the like, takes about 4 to 12 hours. Larger schedules take longer, lasting
from 6 to 14 days, because they require major repairs and replacements.

Electric Locomotives

The schedules for inspection and checks given in following table are generally
followed on Pakistan Railways to ensure the proper maintenance of electric
locomotives.

Frequency Code Time period allotted Nature of attention


for completion

Weekly/trip Trip 1 hr Weekly or trip


(within 1500 km) inspection

after 3 years intermediateoverhauling

At 600,000 km or POH 30 days Through overhauling or


after 6 years periodical overhauling

INDUSTRIAL TRAINING REPORT Page 50


The frequency and duration of the various schedules have been determined after
considering the number of train failures, availability of indigenous components and air
and dust temperatures in the country. Compared to steam and diesel trains, electric trains
involve more contacts, relays, and instruments/equipment. Electrical values and changes
in locomotive state are not physically visible. Therefore, it is important to check the
devices, contacts and relays from time to time so that the condition of the various
devices can be ascertained without interruption. Most machines are tested during the
four-month test, so these devices are not included in the annual test. During such
inspections, equipment is disconnected from mechanical devices, assemblies are stripped
and cleaned, and broken or damaged parts are replaced and reassembled.

Travel to external work areas is reviewed either weekly or bi-weekly, and all other
schedule reviews with the exception of POH are conducted in the sheds. POH, however,
is practiced in workshops.

Rolling Stocks

Rolling stock includes locomotives, passenger coaches, goods wagons, and all other
types of coaches and wagons such as electric multiple units (EMUs), diesel railcars, and
special wagons such as BOX wagons. Some details of passenger coaches and goods
wagons are given in this section.

 Scheduling Process of Pakistan Railway Engines.

 Inspection and checking of I beams.

 Inspection and welding of Welded spots in engines.

 Inspection of Batteries use in Loco engines.

Two different sections are working for diesel classified Rehabilitation shop

 Assemble and Disassemble Section of Steam and Diesel Locomotives.

 Maintenance/Repair Section.

Disassemble Section

In the section, inspection of accident vehicle is to be done. The nuts and bolts that
connect the body and the truck are loosened and then the bogie and rail body are
separated and lifted by a crane. The lifting crane can bear 150 tons of white. Two crane
lifts lift the body together.

Bogie of Locomotive

The bogie plays an important role in connecting the rail body and the track for the
purpose of passenger safety and comfort. A bogie in technical terms is a chassis or
framework containing a wheel that is attached to a rail vehicle.

INDUSTRIAL TRAINING REPORT Page 54


Bogies serve many purposes:

1. To support the body of the train.

2. Running consistently on both straight and curved paths.

3. To ensure rider comfort by absorbing vibrations and minimizing centrifugal


forces when the train runs at high speed on curved tracks.

4. Minimizing the generation of track irregularities and rail abrasion.

Main Component of bogie is following

 Bogie is frame itself.

 Brake components.

 Suspension to absorb shocks between bogie frame and rail body.

 Two Wheel set with axle at each end and one at the center.

 Traction motor.

Central Pivot

The central axis is located at the front of the frame to allow a certain degree of
rotation of the train. The pivot carries about 60% of the live load and receives and
transmits gravity and braking.

The axle's gut and loading area are greased for its line. The median axis is checked
for appearance. The central pivot pin connects the body to the bogie and transmits the
bogie's gravity and brakes. It has silent rubber trees that help keep the bogies in line with
the body and somewhat control and reduce the angular oscillations of the bogies.

INDUSTRIAL TRAINING REPORT Page 55


Traction Motor

The traction motor is one of the main features of a diesel train, which plays a key
role in the smooth running of the train. The job of a locomotive engine is to convert
electrical energy into mechanical power around the wheels of the train. Transferring
equipment on a train is not recommended due to the size and weight of the train, gears
large enough to control it may be too large and too large to operate.

Diesel Generator

A diesel generator is a combination of a diesel engine with an electric generator (often


an alternator) to produce electrical energy. This is a specific case of engine-generator.
Diesel compression-ignition engines are often designed to run on fuel oil, but some
types are adapted for other liquid fuels or natural gases. It is supplied by diesel through
an auxiliary tank which is connected to the main tank and a motor is used to pump
diesel through the main tank to the auxiliary tank.

A 500 KVA diesel generator usually takes 30 liter/hour diesel in normal loads and
45 liter/hour in peak loads. The main tank can be from different ranges but mostly used a
3000-liter capacity tank. Trainload may vary from 3A to 55A, from normal to peak load.
In some cases, a generator of 75 KVA is also placed for extra load or if the load is very
less than 75 KVA generators is used.

HEAT TREATMENT SHOP

Project Carried Out in Heat Treatment Shop

Heat treatment is defined as an operation that involves heating and cooling a metal
or alloy in the solid state to obtain certain desired properties without changing the
composition. Heat treatment is used to change the grain size, change the texture of the
material, and relieve the stress that the material has developed after hot or cold working.

 Heat treatment is done to improve the inefficiency of the mach.

 Improving magnetic and electrical properties.

 To increase resistance to wear, heat and corrosion and more.

Types of Heat Treatment Processes

Eight different types of heat treatment processes are as follows:

 Annealing
 Normalizing
 hardening
 Tempering
 Nitriding
 Cyaniding
 Carburizing
 Flame hardening

Types of Heat Treatment

Annealing

Annealing is one of the most important heat treatment processes. It is one of the
most commonly used operations in the heat treatment of iron and steel and is described
as a softening process.

Heating from the upper critical temperature to 30 - 50°C and cooling very slowly
by drawing it from the furnace. The main purpose of annealing is to make the steel more
soft and malleable and to relieve internal stresses. This process softens the steel so that it
can be easily machined.

INDUSTRIAL TRAINING REPORT Page 72


Normalizing

The main purpose of normalizing is to remove the internal stresses created after the
cold working process. In this, the steel is heated to 30 - 50 °C above its upper critical
temperature and cooled in air.

It improves mechanical and electrical properties, machine ability and tensile


strength. Normalizing is a heat treatment process to restore the structure to a normal
state.

Hardening

The main purpose of the hardening process is to harden the steel. In this process,
the steel is heated to 30°-40°C from the upper critical temperature and then quenched in
water or oil and continues to cool to room temperature. This is the opposite process of
annealing.

Tempering

When the hardening process hardens the steel sample, it becomes brittle and has a
higher residual stress. It is an operation used to change the properties of the steel being
hardened by quenching with the aim of increasing the steel's workability.

As a result of tempering or drawing, brittleness is reduced and the internal stress


generated during hardening is removed. After the hardening process, the steel must be
softened.

Tempering is divided into three types according to the steel requirement.

INDUSTRIAL TRAINING REPORT Page 73


Carburising

In this process steel is heated in presence of carbon atmosphere. This causes carbon
atoms to accumulate on the surface of the metal and harden it.

Purpose of Heat Treatment of Steel

 To improve mechanical properties such as tensile strength, hardness, ductility,


shock resistance and resistance to corrosion.

 Improve mach inability.

 To relieve the internal stresses of the metal-induced during cold or hot working.

 To change or refine grain size.

 Improve magnetic and electric properties.

 Increase resistance to wear, and corrosion.

 To increase the surface hardness.

ROLLER BEARING SHOP

Project carried out in Roller Bearing shop

Removal of bearing from wheel

Maintenance of rolling stock is an


important part of railway system. One
cannot imagine what will happen if this is
ignored: stalled trains will block the tracks
and existing timetables will be messed up.
This is why regular maintenance is essential
to maintaining a reliable train fleet.

Engineers will recognize these hazards Figure 24: Betex BPP Puller Pusher, used for
installation and removal of railway bearing sets.
when they encounter stuck wheels or
bearings. Cutting or grinding can be dangerous and damage the shaft. Even installing
parts safely can be a challenge. Having the right tools in a rehab facility should be a
priority to ensure reliability and personal safety.

Bega Special Tools specializes in tools for removing and installing bearings and
other transmission components. A number of tools are specially designed for the rail and
metro business to remove and install railway bearing sets, gears, brake discs, labyrinth
rings, etc.

For removing and installing railway bearing sets and labyrinth rings, special
induction heaters can be used. Mid-frequency induction heating technology is a safe and
cost-effective heating method that improves installation quality. Bega Betex
manufactures various models of the MF Quick-heater, also available with fixed or
flexible inductors.

Cylindrical roller bearings

These bearings have rollers that are longer than their diameter and can withstand
higher loads than ball bearings. Cylindrical roller bearings can carry heavy radial loads
and are suitable for use in high speed applications.

Figure 25: Cylindrical roller bearing

INDUSTRIAL TRAINING REPORT Page 77


Spherical roller bearings

It can also carry heavy loads while dealing


with misalignment and shaft deviation. They can
be designed to have a cylindrical or tapered bore
for mounting with or without a sleeve adapter.
Available with various internal clearance and
retention options, spherical roller bearings can
handle axial loading in both directions as well as
heavy shock loads. These bearings are available in Figure 26: Spherical roller bearing

bore dimensions ranging from 20 mm to 900 mm.

Needle roller bearings

This type of bearing is thinner than


conventional roller bearings and can be
designed with or without an inner ring.
Needle roller bearings are ideal for dealing
with radial space constraints in heavy-load,
high-speed applications. The developed cup
styles allow for higher load capacity and
larger grease reservoirs while still offering a Figure 27: Needle roller bearings

slim cross-section design. These bearings are offered with inch or metric seals.

INDUSTRIAL TRAINING REPORT Page 78


Locking system for roller bearing end cap

With the trend toward 125 ton


equipment, tapered roller bearings face even
heavier loading environments. A loose cap
screw can cause loss of lubricant to delay
switch-out or derailment of the hot box. The
Stage 8 locking system provides over 20
times more breakaway torque resistance for
cap screw loosening rotation than a standard Figure 28: Locking system for roller bearing end
cap
locking plate.

The Stage 8 cap screw locking system is currently under review by the AAR
WABL (Wheels, Axles, Bearing and Lubrication) Committee, and is to undergo field
testing in unit train service. The Stage 8 cap screw locking system represents the first
innovation on a standard locking plate in over 50 years.

MOTOR SHOP

Carriage and Wagon Motor Shop is responsible for repairing and overhauling cars,
buses, trucks, forklifts and cranes used for Pakistan Railways. This shop mainly consists
of two parts:

 Petrol section.

 Diesel section.

Project carried out in motor shop

Diesel Engine Overhauled

A diesel engine, which is an internal combustion engine that uses heat to ignite
fuel, has an average service life of about 10 years. Diesel engines provide both power
and high efficiency. But wear and tear on engine components over time can lead to
mechanical problems and performance failures. As I start to notice problems with my
diesel engine, the best way to fix them may be to have the engine overhauled. This
procedure involves disassembling the engine, identifying and replacing faulty parts,
cleaning all engine components, and then rebuilding the engine. An overhaul can
increase the performance, strength and longevity of my vehicle. Use this guide to help
you decide when to service your diesel engine.

Figure 29: DIESEL ENGINE OVERHAULED

Difference b/w diesel and patrol engine

The main difference between diesel and petrol engines is that petrol engines use
spark plugs to ignite the air-fuel mixture, while diesel engines rely entirely on highly
compressed air.

As mentioned earlier, Rudolf Diesel found that the temperature of air can be quite
high if it is compressed too much. The temperature will rise to the point where it can
cause ignition of the diesel fuel.

So in diesel engines, the air in the cylinder will be highly compressed, usually
about 14 to 23 times its original volume. In petrol engines, the compression ratio is
usually very low, as they rely more on the spark plug to initiate the power phase. The
compression ratio is that petrol engines are usually only around 7 to 10, high
performance vehicles have a compression ratio of up to 13.

Problems Encountered

If you notice any of these problems, it's very likely that vehicle should be brought in for
an overhaul immediately:

 Engine spins the rod bearing.

 Engine has very low or no oil pressure.

 Engine has dropped a valve.

INDUSTRIAL TRAINING REPORT Page 83


Problems Solving

If you notice these symptoms, it's a good idea to talk to a mechanic about the possibility
of repairs:

 Engine is hit hard.

 Engine is using too much engine oil or coolant.

 Put too many miles on your diesel and you are getting poor fuel efficiency.

Spectrometer

How Does a Spectrometer Work

A spectrometer is a scientific instrument used to analyze the light properties of a


luminous object or reflected light. The instrument measures these properties of light on a
specific part of the electromagnetic spectrum.

Figure 31: Spectrometer

The Components within a Spectrometer

The entrance slit inside the spectrometer is important because it determines the amount
of light that is able to enter the instrument being measured. This affects not only the
speed of the spectrometer engine (more light can generally result in a faster instrument)
INDUSTRIAL TRAINING REPORT Page 90
but also the optical resolution expressed at full width at half maximum (FWHM) the
smaller the slit size the better its resolution.

Light passing through a narrow aperture has a different natural behavior as it is cut. By
reflecting the divergent beam onto a concave mirror, the light beam becomes collimated:
all the light rays are directed parallel to the diffraction grating. A grating is used as a
dispersive element to disperse the wavelengths of light. The characteristics of the grating
include not only its dispersion range but also affect the optical resolution through the
number of grooves. Another parameter of the grating, its blaze wavelength, determines
the best performance at different wavelengths.

Once the light hits the diffuser, each wavelength of light is reflected under a different
angle (like a prism). Different diffraction gratings can be used to identify different
wavelength ranges. As this beam differs due to the behavior of the grating, a second
concave mirror is used to focus light rays of each wavelength onto specific pixels of the
detector. At this point, the actual ratio of each individual wavelength is converted to
electrons, which are digitized and then output for the operator to read.

All of the above components can be configured in different ways to achieve different
results. For example, the entrance slit can be changed to allow more or less light to enter
the spectrometer, and diffraction gratings come in different types to measure different
wavelength ranges.

Spectrometers from Admesy

Admesy offers a range of spectrometers used for lighting, display and analysis
measurements.

The Neo Series spectrometer is easy to use and provides accurate measurements in a
robust instrument. It benefits from high dynamic range and low noise, due to the high-

INDUSTRIAL TRAINING REPORT Page 91


end cooled CCD detector and full configurability in terms of spectral range and
resolution.

The Neo series spectrometer can cover almost any wavelength range in the 250 - 1100
nm range and standard versions, such as VIS and UV-NIR, are available. A variety of
gratings are available for use with the Nu Series to suit many wavelength ranges.

The Prometheus series offers spectrometers with an integrated viewfinder, particularly


suitable for display measurements, but also useful for many other applications.

Conclusion

The internship program completed at the Railway Workshops is one of the best
practical experiences ever acquired. Many different tasks are assigned and completed by
me in group and also individually. Basic knowledge about practical circuits working in
industry is covered during the training period. Powerhouse equipment is a major part of
the learning process and I practiced the operating mechanisms with structural models of
each equipment and machinery. The overall experience of working in each workshop
was informative and varied. I learned how to manage the workload at any job site and
gain experience from co-workers. I believe that the practical skills and knowledge
gained from this internship program will definitely help me in my future professional
life. Finally, I would like to thank my teachers and all the people in this organization that
helped me a lot during my internship. I have identified the keys to my success below:

 To understand the manufacture and repair of railway vehicles, wagons, bogies,


loco engines and their assembly parts.

 Observed and gained knowledge about different handling mechanisms of


different machines.

 Applied theoretical technical knowledge to real industrial applications.

 Communicate well with group of workers and learn proper attitude of corporate
life in industrial sector.

 Improved creativity and enhanced ability to share ideas.

 Engineering knowledge learned in a classroom environment under practical


industrial conditions.

 Exposure to professional engineering practices in industries.

 To understand the role and responsibilities and code of conduct that a BSc.
INDUSTRIAL TRAINING REPORT Page 93
Engineering Technologist must uphold.

 Develop awareness of general workplace attitudes and develop interpersonal


skills. e) Preparing professional work records and reports.

 Built relationship and network with potential future employers to increase


employment.

Recommendations

I would like to make some recommendations to improve the quality of work and
the health of the workers as well as to save time because I saw during my visit that the
machinery and equipment used there are old and the workers are over-diagnosed. It
takes time and effort to diagnose the problems. Modern machinery should be installed
and modern equipment should be used to increase efficiency and save time. This will
motivate the workers to perform their tasks more efficiently.

Construction of new locomotives, development and improvement of existing rail


infrastructure, increase in average train speed, and improvement in on-time performance
and expansion of passenger services need to be worked on.

 Safety measures need to be implemented i.e. wearing safety gloves, safety shoes
and goggles.

 Temperature gauges need to be installed to measure the intensity of heat


treatment.

 Since belts are used in extensive machine operating mechanisms, proper


covering should be fenced.

 There is no need to fully expose the grinding machine as it can cause serious
hazards.

 A safety valve needs to be installed to control the steam pressure.
