Amorim Rail

Available in a wide variety of thicknesses and shapes Amorim Rail products provide different degrees of impact attenuation for light and heavy rail applications, in slab and ballast track, used as well in special track works such as turnouts, crossings and crossovers. Railway

Impact attenuation for light and heavy rail applications

The track’s vertical dynamics are a significant part of the stresses exerted on the structure as well as the level of vibration and noise transmitted, hence the track is influenced by the incorporation of elastic elements, their dynamic properties, and the way these are arranged on the structure leads to a considerable improvement in the substructure, offsetting the disadvantages of using concrete sleepers on compact and rigid subgrades, compared with earlier timber-sleeper superstructures.

 

Product Range

A comprehensive portfolio of resilient railway solutions developed for ballasted and slab track systems, supporting vibration control, acoustic performance and infrastructure durability.

Under Ballast Mats

    Resilient mats designed for installation beneath the ballast, creating a mass-spring system that enhances vibration attenuation and contributes to reduce lifecycle costs.

Floating Slab Mats

    Continuous resilient mats installed beneath the concrete slab, forming a mass spring system to provide effective vibration attenuation in railway tracks.

Rail Pads

    Elastic component installed between the rail and the sleeper to transfer loads while filtering high-frequency forces and reducing stress on the track structure.

Baseplate Pads

    Elastic support layer installed between the rail baseplate and rigid structures - such as concrete slabs and or steel bridges - to reduce vibration transmission to the substructure.

Precast Slab Mats

    Elastic layer installed beneath precast slabs - or in grouting areas - to decouple the track from the supporting structure, reducing vibration and noise transmission.
