Track System VT-STERO

The VT-STERO solution consists of pre-fabricated reinforced concrete beams containing the rail which is completely embedded in elastic material. The elastic profiles – jackets – are made from resin-bonded recycled rubber with a shape adapted to fit the rail. The system provides a continuous support without rail fasteners. During installation the VT-STERO beams are placed on concrete sleepers (5 pcs per rail beam of 18 m). These sleepers are first aligned in x-, y- and z-direction. The VT-STERO beams are installed on top of the sleepers, aligned with shim plates and welded. The welding areas are equipped with rubber jackets before concrete is poured in-situ.

Product Characteristics

  • Vibration isolation 3 – 15 dB depending on type of rubber profile
  • Noise reduction 3-6 dB
  • Quick installation – perfect for reil renovation in existing networks
  • Suits any type of top surface (grass, asphalt, stones)
  • Excellent electrical isolation due to the full rubber encapsulation, the absence of fasteners and an optional protection film complying with EN 50122-2 from 2 to 500 Ω/km.
  • Low rail corrugation due to homogeneous stiffness of the track resulting in less maintenance and vibrations
  • Maintenance-free track: low “Life Cycle Cost” and “Total Cost of Ownership”

Product Applications

  • Tram tracks
  • Depot
  • Bridges
  • Tunnels
  • Crane tracks
