How Railway Spikes Are Fixed
1. Clamping Fixation
Clamping fixation is one of the commonly used fixing methods. The specific method is to clamp the raised part on the back of the spike with the wall of the track hole, and use a hammer to nail it firmly. This fixing method is simple and easy, but the fixing force is small and the stability of the spike needs to be improved. Precaution: when clamping, ensure that the spike and the hole wall fit tightly to avoid being too loose or too tight.
2. Grouting Fixation
Grouting fixation is one of the more complex methods, often used on heavy-loaded lines or in areas with complex geological environments. The specific method is to drill holes around the nail holes, inject high-strength cement slurry, and fix the spikes in them. This method has strong fixing force, is firm and stable, and is suitable for various road conditions. Precautions: grouting fixation requires professional tools and personnel support and rigorous operation; when grouting, ensure that the slurry flows evenly, and do not store it too long so that it does not solidify before use.
3. Press-Plate Fixation
Press-plate fixation is a commonly used method: the spike is fixed in the track hole by pressing and locking the back of the spike. Construction is simple, operation easy and the effect significant. Precaution: when fixing the press plate, ensure that the pressure is uniform and moderate to avoid excessive stretching or insufficient action.
4. General Rules
Whatever fixing method is used, ensure the fixing state of the spike is correct to ensure driving safety.
During use, check regularly and replace aging and damaged parts in time to keep the track in good condition.
Strictly follow construction specifications and relevant requirements.
