SGR Construction in Tanzania - UPDATES

Kwenye capacity tunawatoa meno
 
Hahaha, katika hili eneo la SGR bora uwe mpole tu, Tanzania train uwezo wake ni 35 tonnes excel, Kenya ni 25 tonnes only

Ndii anawaambia kila siku wameibiwa wanabisha alitoa mfano how many trips the cargo trains that can't be longer than 1km need to make to reach the 35 mln tons. The calculations couldn't add up! While Dar to Morogoro is 205 km, has 6 stations that each offer route exchange of a 2 km train long aside 95 km parallel route decicated just for that! U can't say of the same for Kenya's SGR.
 
Wakati mwengine huwa ninajiuliza hawa wakenya haya mambo ya hovyo yanayofanyika nchini kwao na wanadanganya na viongozi wao mchana kweupe na wanakubali, ni kwasababu uwezo wao wa kuelewa mambo ni mdogo au wanafanya makusudi kwa kubebana kwa sababu za tribalism?, kwasababu mambo yako wazi mno kuona nchi yao inavyopelekwa kihuni.

Ukabila "our time to eat mentality" inawasumbua! Wengi humu ndani ni Wakikuyu! So usishangae wanachoandika ni katika kulinda maslahi ya central Kenya.
 
Mpaka sauti soul na Nyashiski wamejaribu kubaeleza ila jamaa habaelezeki

SGR project gains tempo as rails arrive at Dar port

September 2, 2018
The first such consignment of rails, which have been imported from Japan, will be used in the construction of the rail stretch from Dar es Salaam to Morogoro.

He said the rails would soon be transported to the site ready to be fixed on the concrete sleepers.

According to the manager, the rails have been imported from Japan because the country was well specialized in their manufacture.

“People must be surprised that the rails have not been imported from Turkey, the country undertaking the SGR construction. Japan is globally renowned for the supply of quality rails and has been manufacturing rails for a long time,” he said.

He said that unlike the metre gauge railway, the new SGR rails will be of 120 pounds to enable them adequately withstand bulky weight.

Commenting on the progress of the project, he said it was at different stages of development, such as precast girder production, cutting and filling of gaps to make a level surface, and production and supply of concrete sleepers.

According to the manager, the project had reached 22 per cent, noting that at that pace he was optimistic they would meet the deadline.

For his part, TRC executive director Masanja Kadogosa said despite some challenges, such as this year’s heavy rains, they were moving at a satisfactory pace to ensure work was completed on time.

“I have consulted the contractor to have a recovery programme to compensate for time lost during the rainy season in some parts of the railway line," he said.

Tanzania signed an agreement with Turkish and Portuguese firms to construct the Dar es Salaam- Morogoro stretch at Sh2.7 trillion, which will be completed by November 1, next year.

Turkish firm Yapi Merkezi, through a joint venture with Portuguese company Mota Engil, won the first phase construction contract under the Tanzanian Railway Modernisation Programme worth $1.2 billion.

The firm is undertaking a 422-kilometre high-speed electric standard gauge railway line from Dar es Salaam to Dodoma, the longest section of the project, which has been divided into four phases.

Yapi Merkezi is currently implementing the first and second phases of the project from Dar es Salaam-Morogoro-Makutupora in Dodoma at a cost of $3.12 billion.

The firm is also responsible for technical, design and construct of the railway line, according to Reli Assets Holding Company officials.

Tanzania is said to have requested the Turkish state-owned Export Credit Bank (Eximbank) to help finance the 400-km stretch of the new railway, which is also being funded by the government of Tanzania.

The construction of the project is divided into four parts and put out separate tenders to design it. The three remaining sections are Makutupora-Tabora (294 km), Tabora-Isaka (133 km) and Isaka-Mwanza (248 km).

Tanzanian state-run railway firm Railway Assets Holding Company is expected to award at least one more contract before the end of the year, with the others slated for early next year.

The country plans to spend $14.2 billion over the next five years to build the 2,561-km standard gauge railway connecting its main port of Dar es Salaam to land-locked neighbours, including the Democratic Republic of Congo, Rwanda and Uganda.

In July 2016, China, through its Exim Bank, agreed to advance Tanzania $7.9 billion for the railway project, despite its key contracting firms having been omitted from the project.
 

Nashukuru kwa ELIMU hii mujarabu.
Awali nilifikiri diesel engine inafanya KAZI kama magari yanavyofanya KAZI. KUMBE inatumika kuendesha generators ambazo zinafua umeme kwa ajili ya kuendesha umeme!
The Kenyan SGR can be adopted to use a gas. It's more efficient to produce electricity using a gas than diesel. We can negotiate to pipe it to Kenya.
 
In electrical SGR the wagons r moved through electromagnet power found on the overhead cables. Sometimes the rails bars too are electromagnetized though overhead cable is a more reliable n economical viable. The good thing is mtambo wa gongo (diesel engine) can also use electrical SGR infrastructure.
