CARGO BUSINESS 1-10.indd - ZSSK Cargo

Company ZSSK CARGO launched the pilot operation of reconstructed
re-pumping complex in Čierna nad Tisou on 23.October. The opening
ceremony was attended by representatives of the Ministry of
Transport, Posts and Telecommunications of the Slovak Republic,
state administration, and local self-government and ZSSK CARGO
management.
In order to address the environmental issues and re-pumping
technology, several analyses were carried out between 2005 and
2007. The findings showed that the complex (labelled 6/8) did not
meet the specific requirements with regard to the environment,
occupational health and safety of operating personnel.
- The purpose of reconstruction was to meet severe legislative
requirements for re-pumping complexes, primarily in terms of
environmental legislation and capacity parameters. We have also
increased the number of stations – re-pumping technologies - from
six to eight, allowing 8 broad-gauge wagons to be simultaneously repumped
into 8 standard-gauge wagons – emphasized the Chairman
of the Board of Directors and CEO of ZSSK CARGO Mr. Matej Augustín
during the complex opening.
The entire complex is divided into several basic units, including the repumping
station, re-pumping spots, operating control and operating
buildings. The complex consists of broad-gauge and standard- gauge
tracks with a station of re-pumping technology located between them.
Re-pumping locations are designed as double-track for each gauge;
the technological channel is located between the tracks. On the side
of broad gauge, individual re-pumping locations are equipped with
lower bars, re-pumping hoses and upper bars with steam recuperation
(return). On the side of standard gauge, the re-pumping hoses are
available; the upper bars are also fitted with steam recuperation
equipment. This equipment ensures the closing of re-pumping system
with a maximal elimination of steams released into the air.
Total designed capacity of re-pumping complex is 450 to 500 m3
per hour, depending on the type of commodity to be re-pumped. The
increase in re-pumping volume will not only provide for shorter stay of
broad-gauge tank wagons in Slovakia, but also the customer will get
the commodity much faster.
The entire re-pumping system is managed and controlled from the
operating control room by means of a modern control system and it
is displayed on LCD monitors. The system also provides weighing of
rail tanks at the entrance and exit of the complex. All monitored data
from the control and weighing system are connected to a central
information system of ZSSK CARGO. Re-pumping complex is equipped
with modern foam fire fighting system and electronic fire signalization,
including a camera system.
Modernized re-pumping complex will improve working conditions for
employees. In addition to new technologies in this modern workplace,
there is a new building available for the staff.
