Slab track construction method explained (3D Animation)

Discover the complete bottom-up slab track construction method in this detailed 3D animation. This video explains the step-by-step process for building a state-of-the-art ballastless track, using the newest technology and drilling techniques. *Concrete milling:* The process begins with the use of state-of-the-art milling machines, which create precise rail beds in the concrete foundation. These machines are guided by advanced 3D technology. Advantages of this state-of-the-art process include: Perfect alignment: achieving precision within 2mm for optimal track geometry. Adaptability: capability to mill parabolic transitional curves and slopes. Dual-beam milling: unlike traditional systems, Stabirail machines mill two beams simultaneously, significantly speeding up the process and ensuring track geometry. *Diamond-core drilling:* After milling, the next step involves drilling precise holes into the concrete slab for anchoring the rails. First, we position the fully assembled track onto the concrete slab in its exact alignment. The rails are securely attached to the soleplates and temporary fastening rods are used to hold the track in place during the process. A specialized drilling machine runs along the track to bore precise holes through the soleplates into the concrete base. The use of diamond-core drills or percussion drilling ensures: Efficient execution: automated processes ensure consistent and accurate drilling. Anchoring precision: ensures secure fixing points for the rails. These anchor points are vital for securing the rails and maintaining track stability over decades of use. Once the anchor points are drilled, the rails are secured to the concrete bed using specialized anchoring systems. Stabirail’s method avoids the challenges of traditional rail alignment processes, such as shifting due to temperature changes, concreting or due to unwanted movements of personnel or equipment during installation.
