Solid Wastes Management Sectional Committee, CHD 33

FOREWORD

This Indian Standard was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards, after the draft finalized by the SolidWastes Management Sectional Committee had been approved by the Chemical Division Council.

Longer the refuse is allowed to accumulate, the greater is its deterioration and nuisance value. Efficient andexpeditious removal of garbage is, therefore, an important function of any solid waste management operation.The means of transportation form the very back-bone of such operation. Transportation implies conveyance ofthe waste from the point of collection to the point of disposal. For supplying an efficient and economic systemfor disposal of solid wastes, particular attention has to be paid to the maintenance aspect of the vehicles used fortransportation.

There is no 1S0 standard on this subject. The standard is formulated based on the indigenous technology.

The Composition of the Committee responsible for formulation of this standard is given in Annex B.

VEHICLES FOR COLLECTION OF MUNICIPALSOLID WASTES

PART 2 GUIDELINES FOR MAINTENANCE

1 SCOPE

This standard prescribes the guidelines for maintenanceof vehicles for collection and transportation of urbansolid wastes for processing at disposal site.

2 TYPES OF VEHICLES

Different types of vehicles used for collection andtransportation of refuse are as follows:

a) Closed body vehicles;b) Open body conventional vehicles of different

make, tipping and non-tipping;c) Tractors;d) Tractor-trailer system, mechanical unloading

and manual loading;e) Compactors;f) Carrier containers on truck chasis; andg) Dumper placer or load lodger equipment.

3 MAINTENANCE

3.1 For maintenance system of different refuse vehiclesdue consideration may be given of the followings:

a) Layout and condition of roads,b) Frequency of collection,

c) Number of shifts and their duration per dayduring which a vehicle is required to perform,

d) Number of trips per shift and the distancefrom the different points of collection to thepoint of disposal,

e) Pay load that may be collected and carriedper trip,

f) Method of loading and unloading,

g) Regional transport authorities’ requirements,

h) Requirements from hygiene and aestheticpoint of view,

j) Generation of refuse at each collection point,k) Condition of the roads at the land-fill site,

m) Geographical and topographical condition ofthe city, and

n) Nature of solid wastes.

3.2 Maintenance System

Generally the maintenance system is divided intofollowing:

a) Preventive maintenance, and

b) Accident/Break-down maintenance.

3.2.1 Break-Down Maintenance System

Repairs or maintenance of vehicles shall be carriedout after the break-down/failure of the vehicles orvehicles meeting with an accident. It shall be seenthat the overall cost of repair charge shall not exceedthe depreciation cost of vehicle under repai~ otherwise,such vehicles shall be disposed off. Repairing of suchvehicles shall be attended on top priority basis. Thissystem is disadvantageous in places where the size offleet is small and inadequate to meet the requirement.

The break-down of even one vehicle may result indelay of removal of garbage, thereby, keeping aparticular area in insanitary condition.

3.2.2 Preventive Maintenance System

3.2.2.1 Daily maintenance

Daily maintenance of vehicles includes checking thevehicles before they are taken out for trips. Such typesof checks are performed by drivers. Separate checklist to be followed by drivers before proceeding on dailyroutine jobs is given in Annex A.

The fuel tank shall be checked every day and fillingshall be done periodically up to the filler neck. Thisenables the user to know the exact quantity ofconsumption of tie]. Check all the tyres and inflatethem with required quantity of air. Top up radiatorwater and note the vehicles which consume morequantity of water. Check engine oil in the engine andreplenish to the full mark on the dipstick and note thevehicles which consume more quantity of oil. Checkall the lights as well as batteries by running the engineand attend to the defects, if any. Check by driver’sreports and get the defects attended. Make properentries in the register. Wash l/7th of the total numberof vehicles used every day thoroughly.

3.2.2.2 Periodical maintenance

Normally these are carried out at the garage levelsand by the drivers as per the recommendations.Normally the schedule of the checks is provided withevery vehicle to be observed at the garage level and atthe workshop level. This maintenance is generallyspecified by the vehicle manufacturer in theirworkshop manual. It differs from the manufacturer tomanufacturer. However, there shall be a general

1

&-

IS 12662 (Part 2):2002

schedule for a fleet owner as:

a) 2000 km maintenance schedule,

b) 4000 km maintenance schedule,

c) 8000 km maintenance schedule,

d) 24000 km maintenance schedule, and

e) 96000 km maintenance schedule.

All the vehicle manufacturers specify detail main-tenance system under the above schedule. This shouldbe properly and strictly followed to avoid break-downof vehicles. Well trained, skilled staff shall be engagedfor such maintenance job and proper record shall bemaintained for evaluation of cost of repairs for eachvehicle.

3.2.3 Monsoon Attention to Refuse Vehicles

All the vehicles shall be checked for broken or missingwiper blades, window or fixed glasses and leak roofs,canopies in case of tractors. Fuel tank cap shall bechecked to ensure that it is properly secured. Wipersshall be kept in good working condition. Anticorrosivepaint coating shall be applied on the under chassismembers, flooring and inside the refkse compartment,and the water drainage holes provided on the flooringor refuse compartment should be thoroughly cleaned.

3.2.4 Summer Attention to Refuse Vehicles

During all the periodical maintenance schedule, water(or coolant) circulation system shall be thoroughlychecked and attended to; wherever necessary fan beltsand radiator hoses shall be replaced. The radiator hoseson all the vehicles shall be blown with compressed airfrom the engine side to remove the dust particles, etc.Besides checking and topping up of radiators at theworkshops, the driver shall be instructed to refill thewater (or coolant) inside the radiator to ensure thecorrect water level in the radiator at the intermediatepoint or disposal site.

4 UNIT OVERHAULING SYSTEM

4.1 The float units of any vehicle, such as engine,gearbox, clutch and pressure plates, radiators, waterpumps, fueling section pump nozzles, starters,dynamo, air-compressor, voltage regulators, hydrauliccylinders, unloader valves, etc, require skilled,specialized and trained staff for overhauling. Theseunits are overhauled separately and kept as standbyfor replacement during failure. This is essential formajor fleet especially in case of ret%seremoval service.

4.2 The main advantages of this system are:

a) The downtime of the vehicle is reduced tominimum,

b) The inventory of spare parts maybe limited,

c) The performance of the float units may be

2

judged separately,

d) Overall efficiency of the vehicle is increased,and

e) Vehicles are utilized more effectively.

5 LAYOUT OF TRANSPORT WORKSHOP FORMAINTENANCE AND REPAIRS

5.1 For systematic maintenance of vehicles, it is Jessential to have proper layout of transport workshop. “

5.1.1 There shall be separate area for repair shed andparking. The size of plot for a workshop is related tothe washing bay, service pits, repair sheds, paintingsheds, welder room, tyre room, battery room, oil room,stores, office, etc. The entire workshop plot shall bepaved with concrete. Masonry compound wall up to 2to 2.5 m height shall be provided around the boundaryof the workshop plot with proper security arrangementnear the gate as well as in the premises. Work shedshall be as per Statutory Acts and Rules applicable toit. Diesel pump shall be provided inside the workshopplot preferably near the gate and shall be away fromthe repair shed. The height of the repair shed and widthof each shed shall be suitable for size of the vehiclesused. This shed shall not be facing the direction ofrain during monsoon.

5.2 Facilities — Inside the Workshop

5.2.1 For better maintenance, it is desirable to havecertain extra facilities inside the workshop. All thetools and implements/equipments required formaintenance of vehicles shall be provided.
