Application

  • Ballasted track
  • Slab track
  • Areas of restricted height and width (e.g. tunnels)
  • Steep gradients
  • Tight curvature radii
  • Turnouts
  • Level crossings
  • Narrow gauge
  • Tracks with conductor rail ramps and guide rails

Advantages

  • High lateral resistance to transverse displacement
  • Low height
  • Entire electrical insulation
  • Longer service life - life expectancy 70 years
  • Fully recyclable material
  • Economic solution. Compared to standard wooden ties, a Y-steel tie track requires:
    1. 50 % fewer sleepers per mile of track
    2. 30 % less ballast
    3. 30 % fewer fastening points
