Annex to Decree No 44 / 2003 Coll.
Definition of maintenance units
Maintenance unit for:
1. The railway superstructure represents 1 standard metre of unelectrified track without track circuits with concrete (or steel) sleepers and the following additional parameters:
(a) the actual operating load shall be between 10 and 14 million gross tonnes per year (million tonnes / year);
(b) the track speed is between 60 and 90 km.h-1;
(c) the track is in a straight direction or an arc having a radius exceeding 800 m and a gradient of up to and including 10 °,
(d) the period of use (age) of the tangible property is up to and including 5 years from the year of acquisition.
For tracks with different parameters, the conversion factors are then converted into the maintenance unit, which are added to or subtracted from the basic length.
2. The railway bottom represents 1 standard metre of the body of the railway underrun of a single track at the level of the terrain or at a height up to one metre or in a cut up to a maximum depth of up to one metre, with an operating load up to 18 million hrt / year and corresponding to the structure of the railway underfloor.
(a) Seats with different ratios than those referred to in the previous point shall be converted into maintenance units by multiplying their length (or area) by the fixed correction factors and the resulting value of the surcharges shall be added to the base number of the railway bottom maintenance units.
(b) For the purpose of calculating the maintenance units of the railway bottom, the number of normal metres of track length shall be considered as the basic number of maintenance units of the railway bottom (usually the construction length of the first track on the open track or at the railway station).
3. Buildings owned by the Railway Infrastructure Administration state organization represent 1 metre of cubical built space.
4. The bridges represent the sum of the range of supporting structures and the height of the lower structure multiplied by the factor, which characterises the object in particular with regard to the expression of maintenance performance (environment, traffic intensity, track storage method, coating surface of steel and solid parts, oblique, etc.).
5. Tunnels represent 1 standard metre of single-track tunnel or 0,56 standard meter of double-track tunnel.
6. The communication and signalling technology is a sub-indicator for determining the time needed for the maintenance of a specific volume of equipment, which takes into account both the time needed for maintenance and the time for non-normalised performance of the main activity - local additional needs, in hours per year.
7. Electrical engineering and energy is a sub-indicator for determining the time needed to maintain a specific volume of equipment, derived from standard hours, which takes into account the time required for maintenance in hours per year.
1) Sections 25 and 26 of Decree No. 177 / 1995 Coll., which issues the construction and technical rules of the runways, as amended by Decree No. 346 / 2000 Coll.
