About the loco Shed

Diesel shed Guntakal was commissioned on 30.08.1964 with 11 YDM4/4A Diesel Locos imported from M/S MLW/Canada as initial holding and was inaugurated by Shri. H.D. Singh, GM/SR. The holdings were peaked with 100 locos in the year 2009; afterwards shed was converted from MG to BG as part of uni-gauge project. The conversion project was inaugurated by Sri. Madan M.L. Sharma on 16.03.1991 and completed in Oct’95. At present Diesel Loco Shed, Guntakal is homing 82 ALCO and 79 WAG-7 Locomotives. Electric Loco holding at this shed is highest among all diesel sheds in SCR. Apart from above Diesel Loco Shed is also carrying out AOH of tower car, DPC schedules of DEMU and SPMRV. Deposit works of M/s RITES and M/s NTPC Locomotives and overhauling of sub assemblies of Diesel Locos are also being carried out at Diesel Loco Shed Guntakal.

Key Achievements

1. Provision of Solar panels: Solar Panels 110KWH in Shed and 60KWH in DTTC installed. 2. Provision of LED lights: All light fittings including street lights have been converted to LED fittings. 3. Provision of Polycarbonate sheets: Polycarbonate sheets provided on shed roof to maximize. 4. 100% Waste water that is incoming to ETP, 25.7% of annual consumption. 5. UPS 5 KVA capacity: Provided one UPS 5 KVA capacity for Sr.DME Office. 6. Use of day light and reduce the requirement of electrical lighting. 7. Introduction of APU system achieved huge fuel savings-provided in 34 Locos. Green co rating system had been an important tool for measuring the environmental foot print of the unit and had spread vast awareness to the organizations to focus at environmental front in line with the sustainable development. As a Leader of the unit it gives me an immense pleasure to see that journey of this organization with GreenCo rating is contributing to the national goals and greener tomorrow.

renewable energy

y 110KW Solar Power Plant on roof top of SMM Stores and

DTTC building. y Total On-site Renewable Energy Generated for 110KW solar power plant=124537 kwh. y Expected Renewable Energy generation in 2019-20 120KW solar plant capacity. y Substitution of total energy with renewable energy generated offsite: y The 110KWP capacity solar power plant on the roof top of

SMM store building of the shed and proposed additional 20KWP power plant will substitute the 86.44% of the existing electrical energy by the end of 2020-21.

Energy Efficiency

y Energy monitoring: Digital Energy meters are provided in various sections to monitor energy consumption. y Transparent sheets used in all the sheds to use 100% of natural light in day working. y Provision of Energy Savers for Welding Plants. y Provision of 90W LED street light fittings in place of 4X24W

T5 street light fittings – 16 No’s (Energy savings /year – 380 kwh). y Provision of 18W LED t. y ube Lights and 35W light fittings in place of T5 fittings and

Higher wattage fittings-90 Nos. (Energy savings/year – 4275 kwh).

Water Conservation

Reduction in total fresh water consumption based on the water projects implemented in past 03 years. y Every loco containing approximately 1200 ltr. of coolant water. y Whenever loco is stopped for special repair attention/M12

Schedule (Feasible area for water recycling), the entire water is being drained into a separately installed water tank. y After loco is attended for special repair, nearly 1000 ltr of same water is re-pumped into the water system thereby conserving the precious water and coolant as well. y To treat waste water from shed and utilize for loco component cleaning and Misc. uses. y KL/day (approx.) of water being recycled daily and utilized for loco components cleaning at present. Remaining 4-6 KL of

Treated water obtained from ETP shall be planned to utilize for Loco cleaning and toilets completely/partly as mentioned in the under action plan, WC No:-1.1. y 8 No’s of rain water harvesting pits constructed to captivate rain water. y 1 No’s of Rain Water harvesting pond of 16m dia and 3m depth is provided for captivating rain water meeting the watering demand of garden area.

Waste management

y Strict quality check conducted on rubber parts gaskets etc. y Revenue earning through disposal of hazardous waste. y Use of Non-Asbestos Gaskets in place of asbestos Gaskets. y Use of self cleaned (Maotti) filters in place of conventional filters.
