Crane iko(wanaitaa TELESCOPIC BOOM RECOVERY CRANE) and kwa krc's website wanasema they've TAKEN DELIVERY of lakini haina rangi za Kenya railway hence my doubts. I too think iya wa china..Thanks for the answer.
Crane iko(wanaitaa TELESCOPIC BOOM RECOVERY CRANE) and kwa krc's website wanasema they've TAKEN DELIVERY of lakini haina rangi za Kenya railway hence my doubts. I too think iya wa china..Thanks for the answer.Hio rescue crane sijaiona huku kwetu, but kama iko, most likely itakua ni ya operator manake yeye ndo ako responsible for maintenance and repair ya track...
Simulator najua ni yetu manake part of the deal na China ilikua ni kwamba watatumia $100m ku transform Railway Training Institute ya Kenya Railways kukua fully fledge teaching center of excellence ambayo kila kitu cha railway engineering kitakua kinafundishwa hapo, itakua hakuna haja ya kutuma mtu yoyote nje ya nchi kusomea railway engineering ..
1) It makes no sense for china to run the rail for 10 yrs. There is nothing complicated unless ofcourse there is fear of kenyans stealing from the companyAnd in those 10 years include the first 5 years - training the Kenyans everything from bottom-up. The first year it was 80% Kenyan workforce now we at 95% Kenyan workforce . Ripoti ya KRA inalenga 98% workforce by next year 2020, alafu wachina wakiisha, kutakua na observation period kupima vile wakenya wanamanage SGR, contract iliisha, the same Chinese but Kenyan run company itabaki vilevile lakini itageuka na kua ya kikenya.... Hapo tunatarajia watakua wamekua real experts wa kila kitu au sivyo management ya SGR itapewa kampuni ya kifaransa kama vile ilikua imepangwa pale mwanzo .
Alafu Kenyan locomotives are not diesel trains, They are diesel-electric trains, That means engine ni generator ya diesel inayo generate umeme alafu umeme ndo unatumika ku drive the axles and the rest of the train ... Yani ukiondoa hio generator na u connect na overhead line ya stima treni itasonga bila shida! So ukiwa we ni dereva wa treni hakuna tofauti ya kama unapeleka electric train au diesel-electric, ndio maana hata hio simulator iko modelled from an electric train simulator kwasababu ziko na the same dashboard and controlles.
Alafu hapo Kwa thermite wielding, Yepi wanatumia mashini spesheli ya kufanya hio kazi, kumaanisha alietumia akili ni mwenye alitengeneza mashini, mtumizi wa mashini hahitaji ujuzi wowote hata awe na IQ ya below average, Bora ajue kuwasha na kuzima mashini na kulenganisha chuma mbili in a straight line, the rest ni mashini ndo itafanya! Dereva wa catapiller ya kubeba mchanga anahitaji ujuzi zaidi kuliko huyo wa ku operate hio mashini ya kuunganisha chuma!
What do you mean it makes no sense for the Chinese to run the rail for 10years? How then will they recoup the amount they have invested? This rail project is a BOT undertaking.1) It makes no sense for china to run the rail for 10 yrs. There is nothing complicated unless ofcourse there is fear of kenyans stealing from the company
2) Welded Rail requires far much more training and experience to repair. That is why you use compicated machines to keep the tension, alingment and gradient. Welding a perfect joint is a skill..whereas bolting fishplates is a low level skill
3) Tanzania will use their own manpower from day 1. Infact they are already in training and repairs on the old rail using Joint welding for their practise is already going on

Bolting fishplatesrequires the same alighnment , gradient as when you doing continuous rail... There is nothing complicated about thermite wielding especially when you are using a machine that automatically controls the temperature, tension, etc1) It makes no sense for china to run the rail for 10 yrs.

The first imported crane belongs to the Operator as per this article...Crane iko(wanaitaa TELESCOPIC BOOM RECOVERY CRANE) and kwa krc's website wanasema they've TAKEN DELIVERY of lakini haina rangi za Kenya railway hence my doubts. I too think iya wa china..Thanks for the answer.
You're not getting the point.operating a Railway is not rocket science
Its not like pushing a handcart either, where you can pick a pedestrian and tell him drive this train with 1000 lives on board.operating a Railway is not rocket science
This should serve as a lesson to our local East African contractors when executing public projects. In the modern world, it does'nt mean much if you do public things silently as an institution.
Mkaishia kutelekeza..The electric trains will be supplied by Siemens no doubt....take a look at the Tender and then at the bottom image...

Actually to be a train driver you must have an advaned diploma or a dregree in engineering fields like electrical or mechanical... If a train gets stuck in the middle of nowhere, it all falls back on the driver to diagnose and fix the issue quicklyoperating a Railway is not rocket science
Asante. Sijui mbona znatokea ivo
