• the most suitable way of fastening rails to sleepers and to each other;
• the dimensions of the ballast layer and the material from which it will be made;
• presence / absence of gaskets between sleepers and rails, as well as the method of installing gaskets and their design;
• gap between rails;
• the minimum permissible value of the radius of the curve on the curved sections of the crane track;

Installation of crane runways

The rails must be fastened in such a way as to exclude the possibility of their longitudinal and lateral displacement during operation and movement of the crane. Please note that it is also necessary to completely exclude the possibility of thermal deformation of the rails when fastened by welding.

After the completion of the installation work, a delivery / acceptance certificate must be drawn up, confirming that the crane runway is ready for operation. In accordance with the points specified in the regulatory documentation, the condition of the crane runway is checked and its grounding is measured.
