RHEDA classic with twin-block ties, NBS Kologne-Rhine/Main, Section A/C

System Description

• Frost blanket in accordance with the required frostproof composition
• Cement-bound base or unbound base, designed according to the UIC 71 load pattern
• Reinforced concrete trough, designed according to the UIC 71 load pattern
• Use of prestressed monobloc ties or conventionally reinforced twin-block ties with certified rail fasteners (e.g. IOARV 300-1)
• Lean-mixed concrete with reinforcement for fastening the concrete ties in the concrete trough Use of UIC 60 ribbon rails or contractor‘s rails
• Sound-absorbing linings and soundproofing equipment, as well as safety and guidance devices as required
• EBA certification dated May 26, 1997 (Rheda with 2.40m monobloc ties)
• EBA certification dated Feb. 18, 2000 (Rheda with twin-block ties)

• High track position accuracy because the track panel is aligned to the rail top before is is fixed
• Better bond between lean-mixed concrete or concrete base and concrete ties because twin-block ties with lattice beams are used
• Optimized construction operations because the concrete trough is eliminated ( RHEDA Karlsfeld)
• Better drainage (with RHEDA Karlsfeld or RHEDA Munich)
• Long-term experience
• Suitable for modernization and new lines can be used on soil bodies, on bridges and in tunnels
• Shorter construction periods with RHEDA Karlsfeld
