11 SURFACE
PRE-TREATMENT
The durability of the system, in which EDILON Dex-K 2K is applied, is directly dependent on the
pre-treatment of the surface prior to the application. For optimum adhesion performance the
prepared surface should be clean.
EDILON Dex-K 2K is applied directly after surface pre-treatment.
Steel surfaces:
In order to obtain optimal adhesion on steel surfaces, surface pre-treatment must be carried out
at all times. Loose parts, dust and dirt, mill scale, rust and other contaminants must be
thoroughly removed from the steel surface.
In case of galvanized steel the surface must be free of zinc salts as well.
IMPORTANT NOTE: EDILON Dex-K 2K must be applied as quickly as possible after the pretreatment the steel surfaces. Steel surfaces must be completely dry prior to application. In order
to avoid that rust develops in the time between preparation and application, steel surfaces could
only be stored in dry conditions.
• Untreated steel:
Blast cleaning to meet the demands of Sa 2.5 according to EN ISO 8501-1.
The surface roughness Rz should be 50-70 μm.
• Galvanized steel:
Sweep blast cleaning with a non-metallic type of abrasive according to NEN 5254
Wooden surfaces:
In order to obtain optimal adhesion on wooden surfaces, surface pre-treatment must be carried
out at all times. All wooden surfaces must be sound, and dust, dirt, grease, loose parts or any
other contaminants must be thoroughly removed. A wooden surface that has been grinded or
milled is considered sufficiently prepared after blowing off all loose parts and dust.

14 SAFETY
RECOMMENDATIONS
During application of EDILON Dex-K 2K, it is imperative that protective clothing, rubber gloves
and safety goggles are worn. Provide sufficient ventilation when working with EDILON Dex-K
2K.
Before using EDILON Dex-K 2K, please refer to the packing label and the EDILON Dex-K 2K
Material Safety Data Sheet for more detailed safety recommendations.

15 MIXING
EDILON Dex-K 2K is mixed by the use of a static mixer in combination with an EDILON
Pneumatic cartridge dispenser which achieves a maximum pressure of 8 bar. Always check
the correct mixing prior to use EDILON Dex-K 2K and after changing a static mixer.
A
correct mixing can be recognized by the homogeneous grey colour of the mixed product.
Dispense at least 6 cm of mixed material until this homogeneous grey colour is obtained.
For the application of EDILON Dex-K 2K at temperatures below + 20 °C edilon)(sedra advises
to use the EDILON Cartridge heater type 2002. By use of the cartridge heater the cartridges
EDILON Dex-K 2K are heated to a maximum of + 30 °C. For an optimal use of the EDILON
Dex-K 2K, the product temperature must be at least + 20 °C.
When during or after the use of EDILON Dex-K 2K mixing failures are noticed, all adhesions
performed with the failed cartridge should be removed. The properties of EDILON Dex-K 2K will
only be achieved after correct mixing of both components.
The processing time of the EDILON Dex-K 2K is depending on the product temperature and the
amount of mixed product. As an indication the processing time related to the product temperature
is presented in the following table.

Dimensions are derived from drawing 72816/T/12 and are
believed to have been ‘regularised’ to a common dimension to
ensure compatibility with the original wrap-around.
Dimensions of replacement sleepers may differ. Martin

Part of Mott MacDonald’s remit is to
undertake visual as well as detailed
inspection of the BEC viaduct sleepers to
establish replacement methodology, (i.e
whether spot replacement, or 1 in 4 for
e.g). Identification of which sleepers need
to be replaced is one of the key
deliverables of this project. Can Motts
advise when this will be done?

Site Survey
MM inspection remit comprises the following elements:
• Visual inspection of the existing installation
supplemented by more detailed inspection of selected
sleepers with excavation of ballast and partial
removal of casing and rubber boot to allow the
condition of the sleepers to be determined. The
sleepers selected for this treatment to be based on
DLR/Serco intelligence. The need for a more intrusive
inspection (e.g. coring) would be established at this
time.
• Spot measurement of track gauge and cant using

How do we decide which sleepers are
replaced?
Comment for
Action
JC
In the first instance, defective sleepers have been identified
through inspection. See 5.1 of the AIP.
Has any testing been undertaken to
prove the 30yr design life claim for the
USP and does this include the bond
between USP and the sleepers?
Comment for
Action
JC
No. Design life is notional. Products are to be covered by
suppliers’ warranties.
Is there a warranty from Edilon?
Comment for
Action
JC
See 4.1.
Where will the USP's be bonded to the
sleepers?
Comment for
Action
JC
To be decided by user in consultation with the supplier at
detailed design stage.
In the methodology, I don't follow the
turning the individual sleeper through 90
degrees. Presumably the track will need
to be jacked up high enough to enable
the sleepers to be clear the concrete
ballast wall and just be slid out to the
cess.
Comment for
Action
JC
Rotation in the horizontal plane is recommended if clearances
to the side are limited. Otherwise, the sleepers may simply be
slid out to the side once the track has been jacked up.

Introduction
As part of DLR’s asset management strategy and in response to the deteriorated condition of
booted sleepers between Poplar and Westferry on both the up and down roads, an asset
condition assessment [1] was carried out to determine the extent and magnitude of deterioration.
The assessment concluded the following results.

Condition:
0
New type booted sleeper. No requirement for renewal
1
Old type booted sleeper showing very little or no signs of deterioration. No requirement for imminent renewal
2
Old type booted sleeper showing signs of deterioration of one type or another but still structurally sound. A need for renewal is
identified but not priority
3
Old type booted sleeper with obvious signs of deterioration and potentially structurally
affected. Need for renewal identified as a priority
The results above indicate that the majority of the sleepers fall within condition 1 and 2 with no
urgent priority for renewal. However, the deficient design of the original booted sleepers causes
the following safety concerns (reference taken from Mott Macdonald’s AiP titled DLR Beckton Link
Viaduct - Acceptance in Principle of under-sleeper pad [2]):

The sleeper and resilient pads installed to the sides and underside of the sleeper cannot
be inspected without detaching the non-resilient wrap and therefore an accurate condition
assessment cannot be determined, unless intrusive investigation works are carried out

The wrap-around traps water which increases the likelihood that the resilient pads will
Deteriorate and that the sleeper itself will be subject to decay
Therefore, following stakeholder consultation, this site has been identified for trackform renewal
only (sleeper and rail replacement). Rail replacement is primarily driven by the renewal
methodology (renew track in panels) and side wear levels approaching the maintenance limit.
The purpose of this Technical Requirements Specification (TRS) is to define the technical
requirements and scope.

Brief Description of Work scope
Remove existing BS80A rail, hardwood sleepers encased in resilient surround, CEN 33C1 check
rails and BS80A guard rails and replace with new hardwood sleepers with under sleeper pads as
specified within the AIP for under sleeper pads[2] spaced at 26 per length with new modified
BS80A flat bottom rails, and new CEN 33C1 check rail.
Replace existing 1139A/B crossover comprising of SV40 right-hand turnouts with semi welded
crossings with new SV40 right hand turnouts with cast manganese crossings on new hardwood
sleepers with under sleeper pads.

Track Support
Structures
The site is located along the Beckton Link viaduct. The existing low vibration
trackform was originally installed to minimise the transmission of vibrations
from the track to the viaduct and hence the volume of noise re-radiated by the
structure. There is therefore a requirement to retain a resilient trackform
The viaduct is lined with ballast mats with a minimum ballast depth of 200mm
as shown within the Beckton Extension Contract 1 Alignment and Trackwork
drawings [4] within Appendix D. Existing ballast depths to be confirmed by the
contractor
Rail
New BS80a to be used and installed as per the existing configuration of
unstressed welded rail between expansion switches.
DLR to supply all rail and smalls for the project.
Check Rail
The existing check rail is functioning as a guard rail (based on 50mm flange
way clearance). Therefore derailment containment protection is to be reviewed
in conjunction with the requirement for the provision of check rails (with 44mm
flange way clearance).
Guard
Rails
Existing field side guard rails at the Westferry end is in place providing
additional column protection to the ‘dive under’ viaduct. The existing guard rail
system comprises 80a rail fixed to the timber sleepers with coach screws,
which is ineffective in providing derailment protection. This shall be replaced
with a standard UIC 33 guard rail .
New hardwood sleepers fitted with USP (under sleeper pad) to be installed
throughout the site limits as stated within section 3. USP’s to be fitted in
accordance with DLR Technical Specification DLR-ENG-GENR-SPC-00005.
DLR have procured 200 sleepers which will be free issued, the remaining
hardwood sleepers are to be procured by the contractor.
Sleepers
Baseplates
Requirement for check rail baseplates have been stated above. SG iron twohole type baseplates to be used for BS80A rail.
Ballast
Trackform to be laid on existing ballast, ballast depths to be maintained to
230mm.
