"(X)Modulix" The Precast Slab Solution
Definition
- The precast concrete module solution with integrated road surface.
Advantages
- Continuously supported rail.
- Recycled rubber interface between rail and surrounding.
- Noise and vibrations reductions.
- Electrical insulation.
- Low maintenance system.
- Lowest life cycle cost and total cost of ownership in its class.
- Robustness of precasted track.
- Short construction time in critical network area’s
- Durability of road pavment and integration of all type of road pavment.
- Quality of the factory manufacturing.
- Reduction of on site track installation time due to this all included slab system.
Applications
- Recommended for mixed traffic lanes (tram-bus).
- DIfferent type’s of existing modules : Standard, 3S (sand, snow, storm), ladder module (grass track), floating slab module.
- New track, extension of existing track, track renewal.
- When the speed of installation is a priority.
- Improves road covering stability.
- May be combined with floating slap outside or inside the system to maximize noise and vibration isolation performance.
Installation ratio
- With this method, we can install a large crossing during a single weekend to minimize road and rail traffic disruption.
Reference
- 42 km of single track between 1997 and now including Brussels, Cherleroi, Gent, Paris, SNCF, Saint-Etienne, Athens, Lodtz, Casablanca, Nantes, Bordeaux, …
