Mass-Spring System - Railway Pro

Isolation of a mass-spring systemagainst drainsPreparatorymeasuresWhen installing, it is important toensure that the Sylomer® orSylodyn® support layer completelydecouples the subsequently laidsupport slab from the environment.Sound bridges can prevent functionalvibration isolation. It is also importantto ensure drainage of the system.The subsoil must therefore be flat andfree of pointed or sharp objects. If thisis only possible to a limited extent, it ispossible, for example, to lay a fleecebetween the subsoil and the mat toprotect the support layer. A sub-baseof concrete has also proven effective.Special discrete bearings must bestable and accurately positioned. Acorresponding base with a steel framerepresents one effective option.Reinforcement may be useful for afull-surface solution. In this case,sufficient load distribution from thereinforcement to the Sylomer® orSylodyn® mats must be ensured.Corresponding supporting surfaces(wood or plastic panels) preventexcessive surface compression ordeflections.DeliveryGetzner delivers the materialsdirectly to the construction site:side mats, linear supports and discretesupports on pallets, ground mats asrolled sheets with a standard width of1.50 m. Depending on the geometryand installation conditions, Getznerassembles the mats already at thefactory, allowing fast and economicalinstallation on-site.The ground mats can be laid bothparallel and perpendicular to the trackaxis. It is important here to keep thenumber of joints as low as possible.The remaining joints are sealed withtape to prevent the concrete mixturefrom entering and creating structurebornesound bridges.LayingGetzner always pays attention tothe total weight when assemblingthe rolls. This means that the mats caneasily be laid by a two-man team. Inthis way, it is possible to lay over500 m 2 per person each day. Linearand discrete supports can even bepositioned by a single person. The matlength or protruding corners can beeasily corrected by the person layingthe mats using disposable knives.If desired, Getzner will create professionalinstallation plans or provide aconstruction supervisor to guaranteeproper installation.17
