Network Rail Standardised Tasks - account closed's video: Completing a Resin Repair on an Insulated Rail Joint

Prior to work, an inspection should be carried out to determine the condition of the IRJ. Carefully inspect the rail for deformation, such as end batter and cracks. TEF 3205 should be completed during this inspection, which should determine the best treatment for the site and highlight any work required prior to refurbishment. Depending on the individual site conditions, possible treatments may be a resin repair, a full strip down and rebuild, or replacement with a premium steel factory made IRJ. All associated defects must be rectified before refurbishing the IRJ. This includes correcting top and line, and re-establishing Rail head profile either side of the joint, replacing any defective or incorrect fastenings, replacing damaged sleepers and addressing sleeper spacing issues, if necessary.
