Metro railway track construction & technology

Metro construction. Laying subway rails is simple with Stabirail’s new railway track construction technology. Suited for every type of metro tunnel.

Ballastless track has long been used in railway construction. Its low maintenance costs and durability make it ideally suited for construction projects such as metro tunnels. Especially in renovation projects where space is at a premium, slab track’s near-level placement can create sufficient room to allow for larger trains or overhead electrification.

While slab track requires little maintenance once installed, its construction can be a demanding process. Metro tunnels are often hard to access and offer limited working space, making the construction of rails difficult. Stabirail has designed and developed a new ground-breaking technology for milling concrete blocks, suitable for use in metro tunnels. Construction follows a ‘bottom up’ approach which allows track to be placed directly on a concrete slab.

One of the biggest advantages of our construction system is its speed. Track is placed continuously, whether in tunnels or over bridges. Long metro tunnels are no obstacle, as our machines can be operated autonomously. Our state-of-the-art 3D system allows for 2mm accuracy, essential in places where space is limited.

Our metro rail construction technology consists of 3 machines working consecutively. The first machine is used to mill concrete beds with the utmost precision. The beds are placed first so the metro rails can be anchored correctly.

The second step of the construction process is the autonomous drilling train, equipped with a generator and water tanks. It makes diamond core drilled holes in the concrete bed which will be used to anchor the metro rails.

The last step of the construction process is the anchoring train. It consists of both an anchoring unit and a driving unit, making it autonomously operable.

Stabirail’s proven method for laying subway rails on slab track revolutionizes the world of metro rails construction. We guarantee faster tracklaying times in every type of tunnel.
