The edilon)(sedra Corkelast® ERS (Embedded Rail System) is a rail fastening system for Heavy Rail and Light Rail applications based on embedded rail technology. The rail is elastically fixed in a continuous concrete or steel channel by means of edilon)(sedra Corkelast® and supported by a rail strip from the edilon)(sedra Trackelast® product range.
The continuous rail support eliminates the variation in rail support stiffness caused by discrete rail supports. This has a beneficial effect on wheel-rail interaction and wear rates.
The rail fastening system works as an absorber for mid and high-frequency vibrations coming from the wheel-rail interaction. Reducing noise and vibration radiation, particularly important in urban areas.
edilon)(sedra is both pioneer and global leader in embedded rail track for more than 50 years. The Corkelast® ERS is fully proven and conforms with CEN 13481-5.
