- In order to meet similarity to the existing OHE configuration in Mumbai Suburban system, MRVC intends to use 125/150 sq.mm OHE configuration along with 150 sq mm feeder wire in 2X25 KV system for new lines in Virar-Dahanu Road section and PNVL-KJT sections.
- The design must also include the dynamic and static parameters, flexibility of OHE and its percentage variation at support and at mid span, current collection, pushup at support and midspan with minimum and maximum force of contact wire on pantograph and the vice versa.
- Dynamic simulation study for new OHE wire with 30% & 20% wear & tear on contact wire may also be carried out and results are submitted Simulation software used should be in compliance with EN 50318. Quality of the current collection should meet the criteria given in EN50119 & EN 50367.
- OHE design shall include the configuration wise regulation, ATD, termination, insulator design, gradient, relative gradient of the contact wire, type of mast & foundations with setting distance, type of neutral section and section insulators, capacity of single /double pole isolator, bracket design, feeder wire size and spans with sag on single or multiple lines. General arrangement drawings for OHE on tangent track, curved track, three and four span overlap, turnout, tunnels & bridges etc.
- Earthing and bonding schemes using flat / conductors / aerial earth conductors and buried conductors with touch & step potential shall be designed. The simulation study for efficacy of Earthing & Bonding system for touch & step potential of the rail in normal load and short circuit condition for compliance with EN 50122-1 and IEC 62128-1 (2013), including calculations for touch potential and step potential, earth potential rise under normal and fault condition shall be incorporated.
- Recommendations regarding 2 x 25 KV OHE on open route, tunnel and bridges with minimum & maximum encumbrance and dropper schedule, dropper length at various length of span with respect to various wind pressures with various tension lengths with or without curve to be considered in design.
- Consultant shall explore the latest technologies like GIS equipment based on the availability of land area advised in the tender, which can be employed to handle heavy traction load demands on suburban sections. The technical solution should enhance the safety, reliability & compatibility.
- Submission of Bill of quantities, technical specifications for 2×25 kV system of OHE & PSI including evaluation of life cycle of the system and costing will also be the part of consultancy.
- Consultant shall suggest the various options for adoption of OHE/PSI parameters in sub urban, both for existing corridors as well as proposed new corridors by MRVC along with suitable methodology.
