Russian major port installs new automated weighing equipment

A new automated complex based on the RTV-D rail in-motion weighbridge system has been installed at Sea Port of St. Petersburg after the equipment successfully passed all technical tests.

The Russian port said that the precision strain gauge system automatically determines the mass of freight-laden wagons in motion and transfers the information to the local port database.

The port workers receive weighing results in real-time with reference to the wagon number, date and time from a built-in video camera and the obtained data allow to keep an operational record of the mass of freight and adjust the loading of trains when they are dispatched from the port.

The port authority said there are currently four weighbridge complexes in operation at the port area, while the use of an optional weighing device will increase the accuracy of handling operations and the overall productivity of the port operator, according to a statement.

Since the beginning of the year, Sea Port of Saint Petersburg has laid within its railway infrastructure rehabilitation programme about 300 meters of new rail tracks, has built four and upgraded nine railroad switches, repaired more than 3 km of railway lines, over 460 meters of crane tracks and one crossing.
