Study Notes
Raw Material Handling
- Approximately 16 Lacs MT of material is received at Tata Steel's (TSM) plant per month.
- The majority of raw materials are transported by rail (60% for incoming raw material).
- Road transportation accounts for 40% of raw material transportation.
- Finished goods, including steel slabs, have a higher rail transport coefficient (77.3%).
Ore Mines Quarry (OMQ)
- Tata Steel operates mines in Khandabo (TSL-NDH), Joda (TSL-I), Noamund (TSL-), and Katamati (TSL-).
- Material from Khandabo, Joda, and Noamund is transported by rail.
- Katamati material is lifted via rail and road.
Coal and Fluxes
- Coal and fluxes are sourced from West Bokaro, Paradeep, Dhamara, and MCL.
- Paradeep and Dhamara mines are primarily accessed by rail.
- West Bokaro uses a combination of rail and road transport.
Outward Rake Loading Details
- TSM has designated areas for loading various materials, including:
- Hot Metal Shop (HSM)
- Cold Rolling Mill (CRM)
- SMS1 (Steel Melting Shop)
- Slag Yard
Track Layout
- TSM’s total track length is 76.131 TKM.
- The track from MRDL to the railway gate is 7.318 TKM.
- Track from BDPK to the railway gate is 5.231 TKM.
- Track length from the rail gate to wagon tipplers is 25.248 TKM.
- Post tippler yard track is 16.464 TKM.
- Slag yard to HSM is 8.803 TKM.
- The hot metal area track is 10.037 TKM.
Rail Operations Facilities
- TSM operates 20 tracks in the pre-tippler area.
- There are 15 tracks in the post tippler area.
- The hot metal area has three operational track lines.
- HSM loading tracks are 6.
- CRM has 3 tracks.
- The slag yard has 2 track lines.
- SMS1 has track lines for loading coal tar and container rakes.
- TSM operates a total of 183 points.
Owned Locomotives
- TSM owns 11 diesel electric locomotives.
- There are 2 hired "Titan" locomotives.
- There are 18 torpedo ladle cars (TLCs).
Facing and Trailing Movements
- Trailing movement occurs when a rolling stock first travels through the crossing section of a point.
- Facing movement occurs when rolling stocks move the opposite direction from trailing movement.
Materials for Dispatch
- Steel: 4 Lacs MT per month
- Slag: 1.5 Lacs MT per month
- DRI: 30 Thousand MT per month
- Coal Tar: 2400 MT per month
Inward Rake Unloading Points
- TSM uses wagon tipplers, track hoppers, and manual sidings to unload inward rakes.
Railway Level Crossing Gates
- TSM has 24 level crossing gates.
- Gate 1 is near the commercial office, gate 4 is in the post tippler area, and gate 11 is near SMS-2.
- The last gate, 24, is near the slag yard.
- Gates 2 and 3 are near tippler 1, and gates 5 and 6 are in the HSM area.
Process for Inward Rake Placement
- Raw Material Handling Services (RMHS) team receives planned schedules.
- Upon arrival at the rail yard, railway power is detached and pressure released.
- TSM locomotives are deployed to move and position rakes.
- The rakes are positioned at unloading stations as directed by the RMHS team.
