Every minute counts when carrying out maintenance and repair work on metro systems, as extended closures can disrupt the entire network. At the same time, installation and construction costs must remain within the available budget. Simple and efficient construction methods that enable the use of local resources are therefore essential.
With RHEDA CITY, RAILONE offers a durable, cost-effective and low-maintenance ballastless track solution for metro systems. The system enables fast and efficient installation, helping to minimise construction times and service disruptions.
Thanks to our production sites around the world and efficient logistics concepts, we can supply the right metro sleepers reliably and in line with project requirements, regardless of the location.
RHEDA CITY ALSO EXCELS IN METRO APPLICATIONS
As maintenance and repair work can bring entire metro networks to a standstill, service interruptions must be kept as short as possible. At the same time, installation and construction costs are key considerations when working within limited budgets. Simple construction methods that enable the use of local resources are therefore essential.
For metro systems, RAILONE offers RHEDA CITY, a durable, cost-effective and low-maintenance ballastless track solution that also enables fast and efficient installation. Thanks to our production sites around the world and efficient logistics concepts, we can supply the right metro sleepers wherever they are needed.
MAXIMUM FLEXIBILITY FOR METRO INFRASTRUCTURE
RAILONE’s RHEDA CITY system is one of the longest-established and most proven solutions for metro applications. Thanks to the compact dimensions of its track slab, RHEDA CITY is also suitable for confined spaces, such as older metro tunnels.
Following almost 30 years of continuous development, the system now offers standardized solutions for all common applications in tunnels, on bridges and on other engineering structures. These range from variable, highly resilient rail fastening systems and an optimized mass-spring system to turnout solutions for a wide variety of bridge designs. The portfolio is complemented by components for noise protection and emergency access in tunnels.
Durable, multimodal track surface with track covering, compatible with asphalt, concrete or paving without any changes to the system design
Track insulation using rail encapsulation systems or chamber filling elements
Suitable for flat-bottom or grooved rail profiles, including continuous rail support
Flexible design of the pavement structure and the joint or interface between the rail and track covering
Rail replacement and repairs without intervention in the track slab
Continuous system design enables an uninterrupted construction process, even where surface materials vary
