Ballastless track system RHEDA 2000® - High speed to perfection

The future of rail traffic has already arrived. The RHEDA 2000® system is our contribution to ICE technology: this track is ideal for heavy loads, for extreme speeds, and with top safety. The monolithic, ballastless RHEDA 2000® system represents the most advanced stage of development in the RHEDA family. This system is used for mainline tracks, especially on high-speed routes. Chief characteristics of the supporting concrete slab include its lack of a trough, and its use of a modified bi-block sleeper with a lattice truss. The development of special turnout sleepers for the RHEDA 2000® system means that track and turnout are totally compatible: the uniform structural height and the reduced weight enable significant time and cost benefits in project engineering and installation. As a result of the monolithic structure of the track-supporting layer, and the low overall structural height, this system is outstandingly suited for applications for earthwork systems, tunnels, and bridges.

Your advantages:

  • A maximum of cost effectiveness and reliability by utilisation of concrete sleepers as superior-quality precast concrete building components in the critical area of the rail-seat zone
  • Great precision of track-geometry parameters by application of precise concrete sleepers
  • Great adaptability to all types of substructure and models executed, by means of application of cast-in-place concrete for the concrete track-supporting layer
  • Great reliability as a result of technologically mature concrete engineering of the track-supporting layer for a great diversity of climatic conditions and concrete standards
  • Flexible, high-performance installation procedures on the basis of simple installation steps that are reproducible for both manual as well as automated procedures
  • Great added value by local production possibilities

The modular principle

Uniform track-supporting layers with low structural height ensure simplified route planning and installation. The lightweight mode of construction, with the possibility of installation by track sections, enables optimization of construction schedules. Fastening of the track to the substructure, and track regulation, with a high degree of mechanization: this saves time and money.
