#eneral #uidelines for laying and maintenance of $mproved %witch &xpansion 'oint for ()mm gap maximum I. *aying

1. The ISEJ have two nominal gaps each of 40mm 2. This design makes use of 3 wider sleepers each to drawing no. R S!"T#4$4% located near each of the two &oint gap. 'or replacing IRS SEJ with this design of ISEJ the e(isting ) sleepers shall* therefore +e replaced with normal track sleepers also +eing suita+l, replaced during traffic +lock. 3. The overall length of ISEJ is $-.00mm from end to end of tongue rails. 4. /llowing for two welded &oints of 01mm each a gap of $-.10 mm shall +e created at the location of e(isting IRS SEJ at td for the purpose of installation of this design of ISEJ. 5. uring the traffic +lock the two ends of 23R at the e(isting SEJ shall +e distressed for a length of .1 m each. The ER4 shall +e removed* the rails placed on rollers located at ever, $1th sleeper and struck hori5ontall, with heav, wooden mallets. / mark shall +e made at distance %3.1 m 6from the center of e(isting SEJ7 on the 23R on either side on +oth 28 and R8 rails. The 23Rs shall than +e fastened down using ER4 and speed restriction shall +e removed.

6. The ISEJ shall +e preassem+led on the cess on temporar, wooden +locks close to its final location* maintaining the ends of stock rail at 40 mm from the centre line of sleepers nos. $0 9 00.The gaps +etween the two ends of stock rails and the corresponding ends of tongue rail shall +e kept at 40 mm. 7. 'urther* traffic +lock of appropriate duration shall +e takenwhen the rail temperatureis e(pected to +e within the range of Td:$1 to Td #$0. uring traffic +lock* the 23R rails shall +e cut at the marks mad earlier thus creating a gap of $-.10 mm. Simultaneousl,* the specisl and normal track sleeper for use under the Improved SEJ shall +e re placed as mentioned a+ove.

8. The pre#assem+led Improved SEJ shall +e slewed in leaving 01 mm gaps for welds +etween the ends of tongue rails and the ends of 23Rs. It shall +e ensured that the ends of stock rails are 40 mm awa, from the 4entre line of sleeper no. $0 9 00. The gap at SEJs ma, +ecome slightl, more or less than 40 mm durin g insertion due to the difference td and ti 6installation temperature7 and the conse;uent e(pansion"contraction of the rails. The gap will +e more if the insertion has +een done when the prevailing temperature is less than td. /nd vice#versa. Then rails shall +e fastened down. The &oints +etween ends of rhe SE&s and 23R shall +e welded or clamped temporaril, and traffic restored. 9. The three wider sleepers shall +e connected together using the two angle ties.

10. /ll sleepers under the ISEJ shall +e properl, packed. <allast shall +e full, provided in shoulders and cri+s as per stipulations of 23R manual and properl, compacted. 11. The stock rail shall +e +o(ed anchored to all sleepers underneath to guard against creep. II. +aintenance

1. The Improved SEJ shall also in general +e maintained in the same manner as conventional IRS SEJs as there are
