These operations require significant investment from transport authorities and infrastructure managers. Several technical solutions are available to them: ballasted tracks, which make up the bulk of current rail networks, and conventional ballastless track techniques.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>To meet this need, as well as the need to build new lines, while taking into consideration environmental issues, SYSTRA and STRADAL have co-developed a new generation of patented low carbon concrete ballastless track, Slab Track. This innovative solution, which is manufactured in France and unique in the world, offers numerous advantages in terms of design, installation, and maintenance. It offers a more advantageous financial profile than the technical solutions available on the market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">An innovative and sustainable design<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Slab Track is designed for all railway lines, including high-speed lines, whether for passenger (High-speed\/Regional\/Intercity\/Metro\/Suburban) or freight transport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.systra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/image4-1024x359.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8756299\" width=\"529\" height=\"185\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>It is the only ballastless track designed with a fully prefabricated low carbon reinforced concrete structure, with low environmental impact. Its track width is reduced (2.5 metres compared to 4 metres for a ballasted track) and no platform renovation is required prior to track installation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition, the track geometry adjustment system, integrated into the structure, can compensate for track bed settlements of up to 100 millimetres. Conventional slab track technologies do not have this feature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Slab Track is also a climate resilient and environmentally friendly solution. The 10-centimetre elevation of the track above the track bed allows water to pass through in the event of flooding, limits silting up of the tracks and allows the passage of small wildlife. Finally, Slab Track has the same permeability as a ballasted track, which avoids resizing existing hydraulic structures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Easy and economical installation, reduced maintenance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Slab Track does not require any slab sealant and can be laid using existing equipment, including gantry cranes used in ballastless track laying and construction equipment, thus optimising the installation schedule and reducing energy consumption. The fastening systems and rails are those commonly used in ballastless track.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.systra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/image1-1-1024x569.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8756328\" width=\"490\" height=\"272\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Slab Track requires very little maintenance compared to ballastless track, which ensures high track availability for operators. The track condition is monitored by sensors and connected objects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, this innovative ballastless track solution is particularly recommended for railway lines with high operating costs and for infrastructure managers experiencing difficulties with existing ballastless track systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>Meet us at InnoTrans from 20 to 23 September at the SYSTRA stand, Hall 5-2<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>A demonstrator will be presented at InnoTrans at the STRADAL stand:<br>Outdoor booth O\/115<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:22px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button aligncenter\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-lipstick-background-color has-background\" href=\"https:\/\/www.systra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/pr-systra-stradal_13092022.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">download the press release<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Many national or regional railway lines must be regenerated or renewed throughout Europe, but also more generally worldwide, in order to maintain their operational performance.
