1. GENERAL PROVISIONS

1. GENERAL PROVISIONS

1.1. The requirements of this industry normative document should be followed when designing railway crossings with pipelines for various purposes - heating networks, petroleum product pipelines, oil pipelines, gas pipelines, sewer pipelines, water pipelines of external water supply networks, etc., as well as when designing and implementing measures to eliminate deformations of the railway subgrade, arising at existing intersections with these utilities.

1.2. Transitions of railway lines by pipelines must be provided by overhead laying (on supports or overpasses) or underground - under the roadbed. In this case, the prospect of laying additional (second, third and fourth) main tracks or developing stations should be taken into account.

1.3. To transitions of gas pipelines, oil pipelines, oil product pipelines, etc. Requirements should be made as for sites of a higher category.

1.4. When widening the roadbed for laying additional main tracks or developing stations, the working pipeline at the intersection must be reconstructed or rebuilt (on a new axis) taking into account the corresponding increase in the length of the section of a higher category and, if necessary, subjected to hydrotesting. The protective tube must be extended accordingly.

1.5. In areas where permafrost soils are widespread, pipeline crossings across railways at stages and stations should, as a rule, be carried out by laying them above ground on overpasses. Underground installation in these areas can be provided in foundation soils that do not settle during thawing. In areas with the occurrence of soils that collapse during thawing at a depth of less than 25 m, underground installation is permitted when designing special measures to prevent thawing and settlement based on thermal engineering calculations.

1.6. When designing an underground railway crossing with pipelines in areas with soils prone to frost heaving in the subgrade, it is necessary to perform thermal engineering calculations to prevent unacceptable violations of the temperature regime and frost heaving of these soils. Uneven heaving of the railway track in the longitudinal profile is due to the difference in the depths of freezing-thawing of the soil above the pipeline and outside the zone of its thermal influence. The following types of railway subgrade soils subject to frost heaving should include: clayey (clay, loam, sandy loam); coarse-grained with clay filler with a particle content of less than 0.1 mm in an amount of more than 20% by weight; easily weathered rocks (mudstones, siltstones, marls, shales) in the zone of active weathering; dusty sands when saturated with water; peats and peaty soils.

When underground railway crossings, the working pipeline must be enclosed in a protective pipe (channel, tunnel). Laying the pipeline directly into the ground is unacceptable. Thermal engineering calculations must be used to determine the pipeline laying parameters (laying depth from the base of the rails to the top of the protective pipe and the air temperature in the protective pipe), at which seasonal deformations of the track from frost heaving will be uniform, not exceeding the established maintenance standards for this class of track.

When constructing underground passages or eliminating heaves at existing intersections, the thermal influence of pipelines on frost heaving of railway subgrade soils can be eliminated in the following ways:

- deepening of pipelines by the calculated value;

- reduction of heat loss by thermal insulation of working pipelines;

- removal of excess heat from the protective pipe using natural supply and exhaust ventilation;

- cutting out and replacing heaving soil with draining soil according to calculations throughout the entire seasonal freezing-thawing zone with longitudinal joints; thermal insulation made of polystyrene foam with longitudinal joints.

Each of these methods can be used as an independent measure or in combination with other methods.

1.7. When underground crossing operated railway lines by pipelines, the open excavation method is, as a rule, not allowed.

1.8. When constructing railways over existing pipelines, the working pipeline at the intersection should be enclosed in a protective pipe. Replacement of a protective pipe or service pipeline must be carried out in accordance with the requirements of these standards.

1.9. Pipelines should be located under the railway roadbed outside the station neck at a distance from turnouts and other track intersections of at least 20 m. The minimum distance from pipelines to artificial structures (bridges, culverts, etc.) must be provided in accordance with their degree danger for normal operation of the railway, but not less than 30 m, to the points of connection of suction cables to the rails of electrified railways - 10 m, to contact network supports - 3 m.

1.10. The design of the crossing over the railway must provide the possibility of periodic inspections, routine repairs, shutdown and emptying of pipelines. At crossings of gas pipelines, oil product pipelines, etc. It is necessary to additionally provide devices for warning and blocking train movement in the event of danger.

1.11. When laying underground at stages and stations, the pipeline must be enclosed in a protective pipe (channel, tunnel). At intersections with pipelines transporting explosive or flammable products (gas, oil, etc.), the end of the protective pipe should be located at least 50 m from the bottom of the embankment slope or the edge of the excavation slope, and in the presence of drainage structures - from the outermost drainage structure , and at intersections with water supply lines, sewer lines, heating networks, etc. - at least 10 m on each side.

The vertical distance from the top of the protective pipe (channel, tunnel) to the bottom of the railway rail should be at least 2 m, and when constructing a transition by puncture or horizontal drilling - 3 m. The top of the protective pipe should also be located at 1.5 m below the bottom of drainage structures or the bottom of the embankment. The construction of transitions in the body of the embankment is prohibited.

The depth of pipelines crossing a subgrade composed of heaving soils should be determined by calculation based on conditions under which the influence of heat release or heat flow on the uniformity of frost heaving of the soil is excluded. If it is impossible to ensure the specified temperature regime by deepening the pipelines, ventilation of the protective pipe (channel, tunnel), replacement or thermal insulation of heaving soil at the intersection site, overhead laying of pipelines on an overpass or in a self-supporting case must be provided.

1.12. When crossing railways underground on sections of embankments with a height of more than 6 m, as well as on sloped sections (with a slope steeper than 1:5), the crossing design must include additional measures to ensure the stability of the roadbed. In deep excavations, underground or above-ground crossing of railways by pipelines is selected based on a technical and economic comparison of options.

1.13. Transfer of load to the working pipeline from the weight of the overlying soil and rolling stock is not allowed; the protective pipe and its connections must be waterproof and designed to withstand the weight of the overlying soil and the moving load from a 4-axle freight car of 30 tf/axle. The cross-sectional dimensions of the protective pipe should be taken taking into account the thermal insulation of the working pipelines. When removing excess heat from a tunnel - a protective pipe, its open cross-section must provide the required air flow with natural supply and exhaust ventilation.

1.14. The length of the protective pipe depends on the number of paths in the section where the working grades of the roadbed are crossed, the design of the drainage structures and the location of the wells.

1.15. The distance from the base of the rail to the top of the protective pipe when heaving soils are located in the subgrade is determined by thermal engineering calculations, the methodology of which is given in this document.

1.16. If it is impossible to lower the air temperature in the protective pipe to the required value, natural supply and exhaust ventilation is arranged. The protective pipe is a ventilation tunnel and its ends are adjacent to chambers located on both sides of the roadbed. Supply and exhaust shafts are constructed above the chambers. The supply and exhaust shafts of ventilation systems must communicate only with outside air and the ventilated tunnel. The ventilated tunnel is tightly separated from the channels of the approaching main part of the pipeline by ventilation partitions.

1.17. The distance from the place where the gas pressure decreases to the underground passage of the railway gas pipeline should be determined on the basis of preventing negative gas temperatures at the transition point in the annual cycle.

2. INITIAL DATA FOR DESIGNING RAILWAY CROSSINGS WITH PIPELINES

2.1. The design of pipeline intersections of the subgrade and thermal engineering calculations are carried out based on the following data:

- topographical plan of the crossing area, transverse profile of the roadbed, as well as a diagram of the tracks and placement of various railway devices near the crossing point;

- engineering geological sections along the axis of the pipeline and railway;

- composition, properties and strata of soils of the subgrade and its foundation;

- data on the depth of groundwater and its regime;

- laboratory soil testing;

- long-term monthly average data on air temperature in winter;

- data on the magnitude of uniform frost heaving of the subgrade soils at the transition point.

2.2. At the stage of feasibility study of transition options, it is allowed to accept approximate values ​​for heaving of subgrade soils equal to 20-40 mm for the European part of the Russian Federation and 60-80 mm for roads in the Urals, Siberia and the Far East. During an engineering-geological survey, the amount of uniform track heaving is determined based on the results of two track levelings. The first leveling is carried out in the fall with the onset of negative air temperatures, and the second - during the period of maximum soil freezing. As an exception, the first leveling may be allowed to be carried out during the period of maximum soil freezing, and the second - after complete thawing of the soil before the start of summer track work. The track is leveled along the rail heads at points fixed every 5 m, with their binding to a non-bulging benchmark according to the program of Appendix 1 of the Technical Instructions for eliminating heaves and subsidence of the railway track TsP/4369, approved by the Ministry of Railways on 03/07/86, M., 1987. Length of the leveling section taken equal to 150 m (75 m from the axis of the designed transition in each direction). Its maximum value in the leveling area is taken as the observed value of uniform heaving. The calculated value of this parameter is determined in accordance with the requirements of Technical Instructions TsP/4369.

2.3. The freezing depth of subgrade soils is determined by calculation using nomograms in accordance with the methodology set out in Technical Instructions TsP/4369.

2.4. The groundwater level (GWL) is established in wells with a depth of at least 4.5 m, which are laid on the side of the roadbed and beyond (behind the edge of the excavation, at the base of the embankment). GWL is measured until it is completely established. If necessary, wells will be equipped with a filter for this period.

2.5. Soil samples for laboratory analysis of its physical properties (natural soil moisture, moisture at plastic limits, particle size distribution, density, etc.) are selected according to the program of Technical Instructions TsP/4369. According to the analysis data, soils are classified in accordance with GOST 25100-82 "Soils. Classification".

2.6. After constructing an underground railway crossing with a pipeline at the end of the winter period, the air temperature in the protective pipe is checked for compliance with its calculated value. If the measured value exceeds the calculated value by more than 5%, then additional measures are taken to reduce the air temperature in the protective pipe.

The air temperature in the protective pipe (its surface temperature) is determined at the end of winter using exhaust thermometers placed inside the pipe. The surface temperature of the pipeline can also be measured with thermometers that are installed in the well and placed in a section along the axis of the pipeline.

2.7. Organization of engineering-geological work on the tracks, ensuring the safety of train traffic, safety of people, fencing with signals the places where engineering-geological workings are carried out, etc. are determined jointly by responsible representatives of the design organization and the path distance depending on local conditions and scope of work.

2.8. The project for crossing the pipeline under the railway must be approved by the chief engineer of the railway.

The following materials are submitted for approval:

- general view of the crossing in plan indicating the exact location of the crossing (km, picket, plus);

- longitudinal and transverse profiles along the axes of the pipeline and subgrade with the corresponding engineering geological sections and transition design;

- thermal engineering calculation of a pipeline crossing the roadbed;

Schemes and schedules of work, indicating measures to ensure the safety of train traffic during work.

Agreed-upon projects for crossing pipelines across a railway should be taken into account in special journals indicating the location of the intersection (distance, km, picket, plus) and the main characteristics of the crossing.

Work in the right-of-way can only be carried out after the project has been approved under mandatory technical supervision of the track distance, and, if necessary, of the signaling and communication distance and other linear subdivisions of the railway.

3. METHOD OF THERMAL ENGINEERING CALCULATION OF PIPELINES FOR RAILWAY UNDERGROUND CHANGES

3.1. Characteristics of design climatic regions

3.1.1. The permissible depth of the pipeline and the air temperature in the protective pipe (casing) (Fig. 1), at which seasonal deformations of the track (frost heaving of soils and sediment during thawing) will not exceed the established standards for current maintenance, are determined depending on climatic conditions. The calculated climatic parameter is the long-term average sum of degree-days of negative outdoor air temperatures, °C day. The general railway network of the Russian Federation is divided into the following estimated climatic regions:

N district

, °C day

Fig. 1 Design diagram of the working pipeline in the protective pipe when crossing the roadbed

Fig. 1 Design diagram of the working pipeline in the protective pipe when crossing the roadbed

The values ​​are determined based on data from the nearest weather station. The period of maximum soil freezing (March-April) is taken as the calculated period.

3.1.2. The temperature of the subgrade soils at various depths from the top of the ballast prism in the calculated climatic regions is established according to the data in Table 1.

Table 1

Soil temperature, °C, for climatic regions

3.1.3. The calculated temperature of the outside air during the period of maximum soil freezing is taken according to Table 2.

table 2

Estimated climatic region

Estimated outside air temperature, °C

3.2. Laying depth and air temperature of the protective pipe

3.2.1. The depth of laying pipelines from the base of the rails to the top of the protective pipe is determined depending on the class of the track, the calculated value of heaving and the groundwater level (GWL). For paths of classes 1-3, the permissible values ​​are set according to Tables 3-6, for paths of classes 4-5 - according to Tables 7-10. The upper value of the value in the tables is given for conditions of deep groundwater (the groundwater level is located at a depth of one and a half times the freezing depth), the lower value corresponds to the groundwater level<1,5 .

To model temperature fields and for other calculations, it is necessary to know the temperature of the soil at a given depth.

Soil temperature at depth is measured using exhaust soil-depth thermometers. These are planned studies that are regularly carried out by meteorological stations. Research data serves as the basis for climate atlases and regulatory documentation.

To obtain the soil temperature at a given depth, you can try, for example, two simple methods. Both methods involve using reference books:

  1. For an approximate determination of temperature, you can use the document TsPI-22. "Transitions of railways by pipelines." Here, within the framework of the methodology for thermal engineering calculation of pipelines, Table 1 is given, where for certain climatic regions the values ​​of soil temperatures are given depending on the measurement depth. I present this table here below.

Table 1

  1. Table of soil temperatures at various depths from a source “to help a gas industry worker” from USSR times

Standard freezing depths for some cities:

The depth of soil freezing depends on the type of soil:

I think the easiest option is to use the above reference data and then interpolate.

The most reliable option for accurate calculations using ground temperatures is to use data from meteorological services. Some online directories operate on the basis of meteorological services. For example, http://www.atlas-yakutia.ru/.

Here you just need to select a settlement, soil type, and you can get a soil temperature map or its data in tabular form. In principle, it’s convenient, but it looks like this resource is paid.

If you know other ways to determine the soil temperature at a given depth, then please write comments.

oil product pipelines, etc. demands should be made on both
areas of higher category.
1.4. When widening the roadbed for laying additional
main tracks or station developments working pipeline in place

1.6. When designing an underground railway crossing
pipelines in areas buried in the subgrade
soils subject to frost heaving, it is necessary to carry out
thermal engineering calculations to prevent unacceptable violations
temperature regime and frost heaving of these soils. Uneven
heaving of the railway track in the longitudinal profile is caused by
difference in the depths of freezing-thawing of the soil above
pipeline and outside the zone of its thermal influence. To the susceptible
frost heaving of railway subgrade soils
the following types should be included: clayey (clay, loam,
sandy loam); coarse-grained with clay filler when maintained
particles less than 0.1 mm in size in an amount of more than 20% by weight;
easily weathered rocks (mudstones, siltstones, marls,
shales) in the zone of active weathering; dusty sands
saturating them with water; peats and peaty soils.
At underground railway crossings, the working pipeline
must be enclosed in a protective pipe (channel, tunnel). Laying
pipeline directly into the ground is unacceptable. Thermotechnical
by calculation it is necessary to determine the parameters of the pipeline laying
(laying depth from the base of the rails to the top of the protective pipe and
air temperature in the protective pipe), at which seasonal
deformations of the path from frost heaving will be uniform, not
exceeding the established content standards for this class
ways.
When constructing underground passages or eliminating abysses on
existing intersections, the thermal influence of pipelines on

be eliminated in the following ways:
- deepening of pipelines by the calculated value;
- reduction of heat loss by thermal insulation of workers
pipelines;
- removal of excess heat from the protective pipe using
natural supply and exhaust ventilation;
- cutting out and replacing heaving soil with drainage soil
calculation in the entire seasonal freezing-thawing zone with
longitudinal mates; thermal insulation made of polystyrene foam with
longitudinal joints.

the pipeline must be enclosed in a protective pipe (channel,
tunnel). At intersections with pipelines transporting
explosive or flammable products (gas, oil, etc.), end
the protective pipe should be located at least 50 m from the base
slope of an embankment or slope edge of an excavation, and in the presence of drainage
structures - from the outermost drainage structure, and on
intersections with water pipelines, sewer lines, thermal
networks, etc. - at least 10 m on each side.
The vertical distance from the top of the protective pipe (channel,
tunnel) to the base of the railway rail should not be taken
less than 2 m, and when constructing a crossing using a puncture method or
horizontal drilling - 3 m. The top of the protective pipe should
be located, in addition, 1.5 m below the bottom of the drainage pipes
structures or the base of an embankment. Arrangement of transitions in the body of the embankment
prohibited.
Burying pipelines crossing the roadbed,
composed of heaving soils should be determined by calculation,
based on conditions under which the influence of heat generation is excluded
or heat drain on the uniformity of frost heaving of the soil. At
inability to provide the specified temperature due to
deepening of pipelines, ventilation must be provided
protective pipe (channel, tunnel), replacement or thermal insulation
heaving soil at the intersection site, overhead laying
pipelines on a trestle or in a self-supporting case.
1.12. At underground crossings of railways in sections
embankments more than 6 m high, as well as on sloped areas (with
slope steeper than 1:5) the intersection design should include
additional measures to ensure the sustainability of earthen soil
canvases. In deep excavations, underground or above-ground crossing
railway pipelines are selected based on
technical and economic comparison of options.

overlying soil and rolling stock is not allowed, protective
the pipe and its connections must be waterproof and designed to withstand
perception of the weight of the overlying soil and moving load from 4
axle freight car 30 t/axle. Cross section dimensions
protective pipe should be taken into account the design of the thermal
insulation of working pipelines. When removing excess heat from
tunnel - protective pipe, its live cross-section should provide
required air flow with natural supply and exhaust
ventilation.

data:
- topographic plan of the transition area, transverse profile
roadbed, as well as path diagrams and placement of various
railway devices near the crossing point;
- engineering geological sections along the axis of the pipeline and
