Made in France
Designed and
prefabricated in France
A design and prefabrication methods made in France by two leaders in their markets: SYSTRA and B-RAIL. Assuring the excellence of French expertise in the railway sector.
Design
- Modular fabrication
- Reduced track width (2.5 m) compared to ballasted track (4 m)
- No platform refurbishment required prior to track installation
- Platform settlement compensation
- Track geometry correction: Integrated adjustment system allowing compensation for platform settlement up to 100 mm in height
- Speed increase : Improved lateral resistance
- Same permeability as ballasted track, avoiding the need to resize existing hydraulic structures
Manufacturing
- Fully prefabricated reinforced concrete structure
- Modular, adjustable, and interchangeable element
- No sealing products used on site
- Integrated adjustment
- The only low-carbon concrete slab track
- Designed according to EUROCODE standards
Installation
- Fast and easy installation with good performance
- Use of existing installation equipment such as gantries for ballasted tracks and construction machinery
- Optimized installation schedule and reduced energy consumption
Maintenance
- Very low maintenance compared to ballasted track, ensuring high track availability
- Easy renewal and dismantling without destruction
- Simple isolated element replacement
- Monitoring by sensors and connected devices

The B-RAIL – Systra slab track is resilient to climate risks
Focus on the technology
- Low-carbon concrete slab and precast supports
- The foundation adapts to different types of existing platforms
- The system architecture allows a minimum curve radius of 150 meters
- The fastening systems and rails are those commonly used in slab track systems
- Raising the track above the platform (between 10 and 15 cm) allows water to pass during flooding
- Reduces sand accumulation
- Enables small wildlife to pass through
- Polyurethane supports
- The track geometry adjustment system is permanently integrated into the structure. It allows for compensation of platform settlements up to 100 mm vertically and also provides horizontal adjustment of the track axis up to 15 mm
The integrated adjustment system allows for correction of track geometry and compensation for platform settlement.
