Integrated Rail-Road Surface TINES® LC-L

Integrated rail-road surface of TINES® LC-L type is a ballastless rail-road surface construction used at level crossings and pedestrian crossings. Its fundamental component is a prefabricated reinforced concrete track slab. Within the slab, rail channels are formed, in which the rails are secured using the TINES® ERS rail fastening system.

TINES LC-L

System Description

The integrated railway-road surface TINES® LC-L can be used for:

  • in the rail surface of a designated ballastless construction,
  • in the integrated rail-road surface common for rail and road vehicles,
  • in the integrated rail-road surface as a surface at crossings, pedestrian crossings, and bicycle crossings,

System description:

1. Prefabricated reinforced concrete slabs TINES® LC-L

Prefabricated TINES LC-L slabs

Prefabricated reinforced concrete slabs TINES® LC-L for the integrated railway-road surface are standardly produced in lengths of 3 m, 4 m, and 6 m, hence their designations TINES® LC-L3, TINES® LC-L4, TINES® LC-L6. The selection of slab dimensions depends on the geometric layout of the track. The system of integrated railway-road surface can be used on single-track or multi-track lines in tracks of all classes, with a width of 1435 mm or 1520 mm, with rails 49E1 and 60E1, on straight sections or in curves with radii:

  • R≥ 650 m for slabs 6 metres long (TINES® LC-L6)
  • R≥ 300 m for slabs 4 metres long (TINES® LC-L4)
  • R≥ 180 m for slabs 3 metres long (TINES® LC-L3)

2. Encased rail system – TINES® ERS System

The attachment of the rail to the prefabricated reinforced concrete track slab is executed in the TINES® ERS system.

Rails are mounted in rail channels using a castable polyurethane resin-based mass, TINES® Polyrail, and a continuous, elastic support for the rail is provided by a continuous under-rail pad placed under its base. Due to the high adhesion of the castable mass to concrete, it is unnecessary to directly fasten the rails to the concrete track slab.

Benefits of the integrated railway-road surface TINES® LC-L

  • reduction of dynamic interactions, reducing the level of vibrations on the rail structure and surroundings thanks to continuous, elastic rail mounting,
  • effective noise and vibration damping caused by rail vehicles passing,
  • simple assembly and short installation time, thanks to the use of prefabricated elements delivered to the construction site,
  • track surface integrated with the road surface,
  • possibility to adapt the system to local conditions, lane widths on the roadway,
  • elimination of track vertical unevenness,
  • electrical insulation and effective protection against stray currents,
  • uniform, limited settling of the track and roadway,
  • easy surface drainage,
  •  low maintenance costs,
  • durability and resistance to atmospheric factors.
