Key Achievements

1. Specific Electrical Energy consumption has reduced from 4182 KWh in 2018 to 2890 KWh in 2020. 2. Offsetting of Grid Electricity by Renewable energy has increased from 6.34% in 2018 to 21.88% in 2020. 3. Specific Water consumption has reduced from 60.06 Ltr/Day in 2017 to 36.56 in 2020. 4. Specific GHG has reduced from 1.09 T of CO2 in 2017 to 0.81 T of CO2 in 2020.

Innovation

Filtering the drained coolant water into storage/recirculation tanks is started to avoid wasting the coolant water. For that a water filter cartridge is fitted between coolant water storage/ recirculation tanks under the bays and pipe line to fill the expansion tanks of locos. This has eliminated the chances of recycled water becoming turbid, in course of service. With this, the practice of wasting/rejecting the coolant water of heavy schedule locos is avoided, resulting in less coolant water requirement in the locos.

Energy Conservation

Conservation of energy is done by installing energy meters and taking the readings of the energy consumption and y Provision of LED lights in place T5/FL/CFL/MH lamps. y Modification of bench sections and maximum day light,

Utilization by providing transparent sheets.

Water Conservation

For water conservation, total 20 rain water harvesting pits provided, including one check dam outside shed premises to increase ground water level. y Provided flow meters to measure the water consumption and reducing the water consumption by recycling the drain water.

Minimization of Waste

y Minimizing the waste generation by adopting condition based replacement instead of periodical (time based) replacement of components. y By adopting digital methods for day to day correspondence (like e-office, e-pass, social media groups), reduction of paper & stationary items.

Green Building features

y Increased green cover by planting sappling making dry lands, waste lands into gardens having flower plants, fruit bearing plants and more oxygen emitting plants and also installed vertical gardens.

tapping of renewable energy

y Tapping and Utilization of renewable energy is being done by providing 120 KW solar panels in shed as roof top panels and provision of 08 nos. solar street lights in the shed premises.
