Das SEE-SD-Befestigungssystem ist eine Kunststoff-Grundplattenversion des SD-Befestigungssystems, das zum Einbetonieren in Frischbeton oder im Nassgussverfahren vorgesehen ist.
Die Schienenbefestigung ist so ausgelegt, dass sie ausreichende Elastizität (Steifigkeit) zur Dämpfung der Betonplatte und große vertikale Anpassungen der Schienenposition ermöglicht. Das System bietet eine leichtgewichtige Lösung für die Handhabung und Installation und kann für die Verwendung mit automatischen Grundplattenverlegegeräten vormontiert werden.
Pandrol’s SD-SEE is ideal for use on concrete slab tracks in tramway and urban rail applications, where light structures and fast construction is needed.
The SD-SEE System enables vertical adjustments to be made quickly, easily and without the need to fully disassemble the fastening. Minimal additional parts are needed; just rail shims and longer screws in extreme cases.
The pre-assembled captive fastening units and the simple ‘switch on / switch off’ function mean that very high rates of track construction and maintenance can be achieved. In turn, this results in huge savings in labour, as well as reduced distribution and handling costs during the whole lifecycle of the system.
The lightweight SD-SEE assembly can easily be carried and positioned by one person, saving on labour time and costs.
As the SD-SEE System has minimal metal components, the risk of corrosion is very low. This makes it an attractive option for ensuring long service life in wet track conditions, such as tunnels or installations close to the coast.
The SD-SEE System is usually supplied as captive, pre-assembled units that are ready for top-down track construction methods.
The SD clip can be moved simply and quickly from the ‘parked’ position (in which it is held securely without intruding into the rail seat) into the ‘service’ position. With the screw loosened, the clip is simply pushed from one position to the other to either clamp the rail or release it.a
The SD-SEE baseplate and insulators are made of plastic that provides an exceptionally high level of electrical insulation all around the rail.
The baseplate is partially embedded in the concrete to withstand the lateral and longitudinal loading. Clever engineering allows trapped air and water to escape, ensuring a solid fill of concrete under the rail seat.
SD-SEE is a direct fastening system – the means-by which the rail is attached to the baseplate is the same as that attaching the baseplate to the supporting base structure.
The SD clips are available in low toe load and a zero longitudinal restraint (ZLR) configuration, typically for use on bridges and viaducts when track-structure interaction effects need to be dealt with in the rail fastening assembly.
This non-bonded, low-profile system is fully insulated and provides excellent stray current protection.
NABLA Evolution is a direct rail fastening system that offers enhanced performance for tracks with tight radius curves. It has been proven in installations for several decades and is recognised for its simple installation and maintenance. By maintaining the track gauge, it significantly increases the life expectancy of assembly components.
The system is optimised for slab track and is suitable for tramway and metro applications.
