The Challenge For Softech

The Indian government launched “Mission Electrification” aiming to electrify the entire broad-gauge rail network of approx. 65,300 RKM to enhance energy efficiency and sustainability by 31st March 2024. This gained momentum from 2017 onwards with the target of electrifying approximately 4000 Km of track annually:

No established processes, procedures, and methodology

  • Lack of cross-functional integration
  • Scarcity of experienced Design engineers
  • Tight timelines.
  • Dynamic layouts with evolving infrastructure across departments.

 

Softech’s Solution

Softech adopted a meticulously crafted methodology that aligned with the unique requirements of the electrification project. The process commenced with exhaustive walkout surveys, conducted by seasoned site surveyors, to gather accurate and detailed data.

Indian OLE Design in progress

This data formed the foundation for designers to craft innovative layouts and perform complex calculations that adhered to safety, efficiency, and regulatory standards.
