Stone Wool for Anti-Vibration Mats

Track engineers often encounter conflicting demands when designing a track system. On the one hand they seek uncompromised track stability ensuring safety and comfort for the passengers and low maintenance cost for the track owner; on the other hand they must have a track that is sufficiently soft – typically by means of the deliberate introduction of one or several types of resilient elements into the track structure – thereby ensuring that national standards are met with regard to ground-borne vibration levels, e.g. at nearby dwellings.

Obviously, what is sought is a resilient element that not only lives up to the basic requirements of the national accreditation in question – for instance the well-known German Railways DB BN 918-071-1 norm – but surpasses these requirements and delivers sterling performance on aspects such as constant form stability, ultra-low sensitivity to environmental factors, extended fatigue resistance and fire safety. With a special view to such performance aspects, this paper takes an in-depth look at the most important features, advantages and benefits of RockDelta's RockXolid® and RockBallast® anti-vibration mats.
