What Makes Utkarsh India The Most Trusted Source For Steel Structures For Railway Electrification?

Did you know railway electrification results in an annual saving of more than four million liters of diesel oil per 100 kilometers, which translates to over Rs. 2500 crores in foreign exchange savings? What's more, compared to diesel-induced engines, electrictrified transportation is less polluting and therefore more eco-friendly in areas of delicate flora and fauna. 

In response to the above-stated facts, Utkarsh India has come up with its RDSO, CORE Part 1 Allahabad approved Galvanized steel structures for Railway Electrification.

In light of this, we will walk you through their range of steel structures for Railway Electrification in this blog. Let's get down to business.  

RSJ (Rolled Steel Joist) Mast - These steel structures for railway electrification are I-section or H-section beams. The horizontal and vertical elements are referred to as flanges and webs. Beam theory shows that the I-shaped section is very efficient for carrying both bending and shear loads in the plane of the web. According to the drilling hole needed to support different types of OHE equipment, masts are further classified into A, B, C, E, and H.

BFB (Board Flanged Beam) Mast - Horizontal and vertical dimensions of this mast are the same. Based on the load the mast is required to carry, the size of the mast varies between 152x152mm and 400x400mm. Although these masts exhibit good resistance to bending stresses, they are not effective at stopping twisting movements. Depending on the holes drilled for mounting, these masts can further be classified into three categories. 

Fabricated Mast (B Series) - These masts are constructed by welding flats and channels in a B design. These independent structures possess mechanical independence, making them the best design for an OHE.

TTC Mast (Two/Three Track Cantilever Structure)  - These structures are typically installed at turnouts, crossings, and platforms for proper implantation. It is an alternative to dealing with masts where tracking centers are inappropriate or economically unfeasible.

Portal - A steel structure for railway electrification to accommodate OHE lines of up to eight tracks (where it is not feasible to erect a mast due to track centering restriction. Portals can be classified as N, O, or R.

SPS (Small Part Steel) - SPS for railway electrification structure refers to different types of short/small steel structures used in OHE and PSI (Power supply installation) sites. In masts and portals, they serve as joints to ensure smooth operations.
