Alasan Kenapa pada Rel Kereta Terdapat Kerikil


Entah anda perhatikan atau tidak, hampir di sepanjang rel kereta api biasanya terdapat batu kerikil yang terletak di bawah dan pada samping kanan dan kiri rel kereta api. Batu kerikil ini memang sengaja disebar di sekitar rel kereta api tersebut. Dan ternyata batu kerikil ini memiliki fungsi yang sangat penting untuk menunjang keberadaan rel kereta api yang berdiri di atasnya.



Fungsi Batu Kerikil pada Rel Kereta Api

Fungsi batu kerikil pada rel kereta api yang pertama adalah sebagai bantalan pemberat. Dengan adanya lapisan batu kerikil ini rel dapat tetap berdiri dengan stabil. Sehingga kereta api yang berjalan di atasnya pun dapat berjalan dengan baik.

Batu kerikil ini juga berfungsi untuk menyerap getaran (shock absorber) yang terjadi ketika kereta api tengah lewat. Sehingga goncangan yang terjadi ketika kereta api melintas dapat dikurangi. Dan rel kereta api pun tidak cepat rusak dan dapat digunakan untuk waktu yang lama.

Fungsi berikutnya yaitu untuk menahan dan memperlancar aliran air di saat hujan. Fungsi ini berperan untuk mencegah terjadinya pengikisan tanah atau erosi pada tanah di sekitar rel kereta api. Dimana bila hal ini terjadi maka dapat menyebabkan kecelakaan serius bagi kereta yang melintas seperti kereta anjlok dan yang lainnya.

Dan yang terakhir, batu kerikil juga berfungsi untuk menghambat tumbuhnya rerumputan di sekitar rel. Tumbuhnya rerumputan di sekitar rel dapat dapat secara langsung maupun tidak langsung menyebabkan penggemburan tanah di bawahnya. Hal ini tentunya dapat membahayakan karena jika tanah di bawah rel tidak stabil maka akan dapat membahayakan perjalanan kereta api.

Mengapa di Beberapa Tempat Tidak Terdapat Kerikil


Seperti yang kita lihat pada beberapa tempat, ada posisi-posisi tertentu dimana di bawah rel kereta api tidak terdapat batu kerikil. Seperti rel kereta api yang terdapat di atas jembatan atau jalan raya, dimana tidak terdapat satu butir pun batu kerikil yang sangat berperan penting bagi keberadaan rel kereta api. Hal ini terjadi karena semua fungsi dari batu kerikil tadi sudah diambil alih fungsinya oleh mekanisme lain.



Pada jembatan kereta api, jembatan sudah dirancang khusus sedemikian rupa supaya dapat menahan getaran yang akan terjadi yang dihasilkan ketika kereta melintas. Demikian pun dengan rel kereta yang terdapat pada jalan raya, jalan aspal telah menggantikan peranan batu kerikil dengan baik. Sehingga pada tempat-tempat tersebut, tidak diperlukan lagi batu kerikil untuk diletakkan di bawah rel kereta api.

Putra Damai: Falling apart again





PETALING JAYA: Nasrullah Suradi's office is a hot, tiny room with a lone desk and walls coated a watery shade of green. He
rarely used it but on that morning he was relieved to literally shut the door on the world outside.
?I have been doing this job for six years but this is my first experience with the Projek Perumahan Rakyat (PPR) flats,? he said. ?I've
never seen such squalid living conditions before.?
Nasrullah, 28, is the new building supervisor for Blocks G and H of the PPR Putra Damai flats in Lembah Subang. The eight blocks
? totalling about 3,136 units ? reportedly house the largest concentration of squatters under Selangor's Zero Squatter programme.
Hundreds of squatters from various squatter villages in Petaling Jaya were told to live there while developers built low-cost flats at
their original adresses. That was 11 years ago.
The promised new houses are now abandoned projects and what was meant as a transit home in Putra Damai has become permanent
residence.
When FMT visited the flats last July, however, the living conditions were a far cry from Nasrullah's description. His predecessor,
Zulkifli Abdullah, had bulldozed his way through every obstacle to resolve all but two social and maintenance issues.
The compound was clean, the drains were unclogged, there were no signs of vandalism and the street lights were working. The two
outstanding issues were the constantly faulty elevators and the empty units that had doubled up as haunts for drug addicts.
But when the baton was passed to Nasrullah in early May not only did these two issues persist but Zulkifli's other successes had also
unravelled.
?Some street lights weren't working, the drains were backed up and window panes were broken,? Nasrullah recalled. ?Only one of
the three elevators work and drug addicts are still breaking into empty units.?
Utility debts
Nasrullah confessed that his heart sank when he first clapped eyes on Putra Damai. The dumpsters overflowed with trash while more
lay strewn in communal areas. Broken and unwanted furniture obstructed the narrow passageways and an abandoned car took up the
motorcycle bays.

?I didn't know where to begin,? he said in wide-eyed remembrance. ?It was overwhelming. And then there were all the utility debts
that the residents chalked up.?
?My predecessor used to pacify the utility companies because he felt sorry for the residents. Most of them are single mothers and
struggling to make ends meet. But I think his kindness backfired on them.?
On that particular morning, Tenaga Nasional Bhd (TNB) personnel were disconnecting electricity supply from units that had
defaulted on payments. A police patrol car encircled the flats on the lookout for enraged residents. And there were many of them.
Nasrullah sighed as his walkie-talkie crackled for the umpteenth time. A female voice on the other end informed him that a resident
was threatening the TNB personnel if they didn't restore her electricity supply immediately.
?Some of them owe TNB up to RM13,000,? he said. ?TNB shows proof of having sent warning letters. The resident insists she
never received any. What do we do then? And how can we explain their hardship to TNB when more than half of them subscribe to
Astro??
But like any other community the bad apples are only a smattering. Most of the residents have willingly engaged with Nasrullah
although none have been forthcoming with solutions.
?A few have even taken offence when we encourage them to keep the area clean,? he said. ?They feel that because they are paying
to live here they are entitled to do whatever they wish, including turning the area into a dumpsite.?
Mountains of trash
Within days of coming on board, Nasrullah doubled the number of cleaners and called the Petaling Jaya City Council (MPPJ) to
collect the mountains of trash. But what he didn't count on was the residents interpreting this as a licence to litter.
?Rubbish would pile up on particular spots along the walkways within days of us clearing it,? he lamented. ?And if the cleaners

catch the residents red-handed, they (the cleaners) are 'punished': the residents would drop stuff on their heads when they are
working beneath the balconies.?
?We've had soiled diapers, used condoms and even used sanitary napkins sailing over the balconies and hitting people below on the
head. I really don't understand this behaviour.?
One reason could be the fact that there are no rubbish disposals on each floor and residents have to make their way to the dumpsters
on the ground floor. But Nasrullah's suggestion to place a bin on each floor was shot down by the resident association.
?They said that there was no guarantee that the bin wouldn't be stolen or burnt!? he said. ?We can't afford to keep replacing the bins
so that idea was scrapped. But now people have to bring their trash into the elevator.?
?This can be very uncomfortable when only one elevator is working and is packed with people. Maybe that's why they keep
throwing stuff out their windows.?
Nasrullah has since highlighted his challenges to MPPJ which has asked him to submit an inventory list for action to be taken. While
the relevant agencies have readily received his complaints, their response time leaves much to be desired.
?It's too early for me to comment on the state government's support but I could definitely use more help in turning this place
around,? he said.
Ironically, the state government is in the midst of sprucing up the privately-owned Maju Jaya flats near Kampung Medan. The
project, under the state's Urban Renewal Plan, will soon see 300 residents enjoying an upgrade in living conditions.
Nasrullah may harbour a similar wish for Putra Damai in the future but for now he plans to tackle a more fundamental but laborious
challenge.
?The mindset needs to be upgraded first,? he said. ?My first step in that direction is to draw up some house rules. I don't know how
effective it will be but at least it's a start.?
Then he suddenly looked uncertain.
?I really don't know how to do this,? he admitted. ? Do you have any solutions for me? Would your readers have any? Because I
honestly don't have one.?
