This document proposes replacing the tarpaal and parachute roofing system on cement wagon with a fiberglass material to reduce costs and improve quality, efficiency, and protection. The existing tarpaal system requires replacement every 20 days and has several disadvantages including a short lifespan, odor and fading issues, increased weight when wet, and fire hazards. In contrast, a fiberglass roof would last over 6 years with proper care, be more cost effective in the long run than other materials, and provide benefits like water resistance, easy installation and removal, and fire resistance. Replacing the roofs with fiberglass is estimated to save the factory approximately Rs. 630000 per year in costs compared to continuing with the tarpaal system.

1. Fiberglass Wagon Movable Roofs
Maple Leaf cement (sikandarabad)

2. Introduction
The aim of today's presentation is to give proposal to GM Maple Leaf cement factory about Fiberglass material for covering Wagon being utilized for transportation of cement.
The Presentation would be given in following sequence.
Project Summary
Analysis of existing system
Cost
Merits
De-merits
Analysis of Fiberglass

3. Project Summary
Replacing the existing system (Tarpaal & Parachute) by the effective Fiberglass material to minimize cost and maximize the Quality, Efficiency and Protection of coal & cement.

4. Tarpaal Analysis
Merits:
Replacement of Tarpaal is needed after every 20 Days.
Only water resistant.
De-Merits:
Special storage & chemical procedures are required for long life.
Produce pungent odor If wet.
Color gets faded quickly.
Increased weight with humidity.
Exposed to mice action.
Fire hazards and easily combustible.
Cost
Approx. Rs 35000/ wagon for 2 Return Trips.

5. Fiberglass Analysis
Life of Fiberglass exceeds 6 years if handled with care.
Cost effective as compared to other materials due to long life.
Water proof and water resistant as per required.
Easy to installation & removal if needed.
Color of choice has no restriction.
Protection from weather changing.
Requires maintenance if mishandled.
Light weight.
Fire resistant.

6. Cost Analysis
Calculation sheet (1x year)
Tarpaal or parachute
•Replacement needed after 20 days.
•Days in year =365
•So,
365/20=18.37
•No. of changes per year =aprox.18 times
•If a tarpaal cost =Rs:35000 then, 18x35000=Rs:630000/year.
Fiberglass Roof
•Replacement needed after mishandling only.
•Approx measure of wagon = 500sft
•2mm Fiberglass sheet with outer MS pipe frame 18swg with wheels & channels for sliding.
500x500=Rs250000/wagon for 6 Years.
