Reliable vibration protection for railways, metro systems, and tram networks.
From mass-spring systems and rail pad solutions to under-ballast mats, our systems provide long-term optimization of acoustics and vibration control along railway infrastructure.
Intermediate Plates
Modern railway lines are increasingly constructed using slab track systems. The required elasticity in these systems is provided by high-performance Getzner rail pads, which are installed between the rail baseplate and the concrete support slab.
These resilient rail pads preserve the rail's load-distribution characteristics while reducing vibrations caused by wheel and track irregularities. By optimizing the stiffness distribution of the rail pad, rail head deflection during train passage can be significantly reduced.
Sleeper Boot Pads
Slab track systems require sufficient elasticity to activate the load-distributing effect of the rail. For example, the Sonneville LVT system uses individual block sleepers installed in rubber boots together with Sylodyn® sleeper boot pads from Getzner.
A resiliently supported sleeper block offers several advantages, including the reduction of structure-borne noise radiation. The additional moving mass of the sleeper block helps minimize the transmission of vibrations, resulting in improved acoustic performance.
Continuous Rail Support
BS Trading's Continuous Rail Support is a continuous, resilient rail support solution designed for rail foot mounting, while also compensating for installation-related height differences. The required stiffness and rail deflection are precisely defined in advance and achieved through the appropriate selection of resilient materials.
This highly efficient and cost-effective solution helps extend the service life of all track components while improving the overall performance and durability of the track system.
Mass–Spring Systems
Getzner Mass–Spring Systems provide highly effective protection against vibrations and noise for people living near railway lines. These systems are used wherever maximum protection from unwanted vibrations is a top priority.
Getzner offers three bearing configurations for mass–spring systems: full-surface, strip, and point support. The most suitable solution is selected based on the project's technical and economic requirements.
The results are both measurable and perceptible. In numerous successfully completed urban and mainline railway projects, Getzner mass–spring systems have achieved natural frequencies as low as 5 Hz.
Interlayers
Getzner interlayers are installed directly beneath the rail foot. They provide improved load distribution while increasing the elasticity of ballasted track systems, resulting in reduced wear of track components and enhanced ride comfort.
Under Ballast Mats
BS Trading Under Ballast Mats provide a high level of track elasticity, effectively reducing vibrations and structure-borne noise while protecting the ballast from excessive wear. In addition, the mats are easy to handle, quick to install, and durable enough to be driven over by heavy construction equipment.
Sleeper Pads
Sleeper Pads are designed to provide effective vibration protection, reduce wear on the ballast beneath railway tracks, and improve track stability. They are used on high-speed railway lines, heavy axle load routes, and for the rehabilitation of existing railway infrastructure.
