The safety, stability, and durability of a track system largely depend on the quality of the rail fixation. Fixations—rail and turnout fastening systems and ties—are essential components of railway infrastructure. They ensure optimal force transmission between the rail and track bed, reduce dynamic loads, and significantly contribute to minimizing wear and maintenance costs.
voestalpine Railway Systems manufactures a comprehensive portfolio of both standard solutions and specialized systems for various applications—from high-speed rail and heavy haul transport to urban transit systems. Our fixation systems provide the highest resistance to loads, superior damping coefficients, and enable cost-effective, sustainable, and long-lasting track infrastructure.
Every railway track has specific requirements for rail fixation. Factors such as axle load, climatic conditions, subsoil characteristics, and the desired ride comfort require customized solutions. The Fixations portfolio from voestalpine Railway Systems therefore includes a wide range of fixation systems, each tailored to specific operational conditions.
Our solutions are characterized by:
