T3-A possessions delivers real efficiencies
This change allows worksites to be protected within seconds from a position of safety.
What is a T3-A Possession in the Railways?
T3-A possessions are protected using additional protection equipment, such as the remote-control track circuit operating device (ZKL 3000 RC). This expands the productive time available on track for maintenance and renewal activities, especially in larger engineering projects.
Benefits of a T3-A possession using a ZKL 3000 RC
Remote‑control activation secures the worksite within seconds. This gives Possession Support Staff more time to focus on engineering and maintenance tasks, increasing productivity.
The T3-A process of taking and handing back a possession is significantly quicker than traditional T3 possession
Eliminates the risk of misplaced Protection Limit Boards (PLBs) and detonators – preventing delays, near misses and potential fatalities.
Fewer phone calls are required between the Person in Charge of the Possession (PICOP) and Possession Support Staff, lowering the chance of miscommunication.
There is no longer a need to travel to blocking points at the start and end of each shift, therefore reducing the number of vehicles being used.
Changes of Reality T3-A possession
Overall, T3-A delivers real efficiencies providing a safer, faster and more efficient method of protection.
Watch the animation below.
The animation shows how the industry is transitioning from the traditional T3 to the more modern T3-A possession and how remote-control protection enhances safety and efficiency.
