Abstract
A module (100) for a system for the laying of underground and railroad and tram lines both in tunnel and on the surface, in particular railroad and tram lines, comprising a supporting slab (101) for the tracks (6), with substantially parallelepiped shape, the slab having at least four peripheral housings (1), passing from the extrados to the intrados and suitable to house respective adjustable levelling devices (120).
Claims18
A module of a system for laying railroad and tram lines, comprising:
- a supporting slab having a substantially parallelepiped shape, the supporting slab having an upper surface and a lower surface;
- and
- adjustable levelling devices;
- wherein the supporting slab includes at least four peripheral housings, passing from the upper surface to the lower surface of the supporting slab, having closed lateral walls within the supporting slab, for housing the respective adjustable levelling devices, each one of the peripheral housings having a portion at the lower surface with a prismatic shape having a first base area and a portion at the upper surface having a second base area, the second base area being smaller than the first base area, each one of the peripheral housings having a jacket;
- wherein each levelling device slides within the jacket at the portion at the lower surface of a corresponding peripheral housing;
- and
- wherein a bedding mortar is filled within the portion at the upper surface of each peripheral housing for clogging the peripheral housing upon the corresponding levelling device.

A system for laying railroad and tram lines, comprising a plurality of modules, each module including:
- a supporting slab having a substantially parallelepiped shape, the supporting slab having an upper surface and a lower surface;
- and
- adjustable levelling devices;
- wherein the supporting slab includes at least four peripheral housings, passing from the upper surface to the lower surface of the supporting slab, having closed lateral walls within the supporting slab, for housing the respective adjustable levelling devices, each one of the peripheral housings having a portion at the lower surface with a prismatic shape having a first base area and a portion at the upper surface having a second base area, the second base area being smaller than the first base area, each one of the peripheral housings having a jacket;
- wherein each levelling device slides within the jacket at the portion at the lower surface of a corresponding peripheral housing;
- and
- wherein a bedding mortar is filled within the portion at the upper surface of each peripheral housing for clogging the peripheral housing upon the corresponding levelling device.
4 more elements
A method for laying a module, comprising:
- providing a module including:
- a supporting slab having a substantially parallelepiped shape, the supporting slab having an upper surface and a lower surface;
- and
- adjustable levelling devices;
- wherein the supporting slab includes at least four peripheral housings, passing from the upper surface to the lower surface of the supporting slab, having closed lateral walls within the supporting slab, for housing the respective adjustable levelling devices, each one of the peripheral housings having a portion at the lower surface with a prismatic shape having a first base area and a portion at the upper surface having a second base area, the second base area being smaller than the first base area, each one of the peripheral housings having a jacket;
- wherein each levelling device slides within the jacket at the portion at the lower surface of a corresponding peripheral housing;
- and
- wherein a bedding mortar is filled within the portion at the upper surface of each peripheral housing for clogging the peripheral housing upon the corresponding levelling device;
- positioning the module on a ground;
- performing an altimetric adjustment of the supporting slab;
- positioning the levelling devices such that supporting members of the levelling devices are pushed in contact with the ground;
- and
- filling the bedding mortar within the portion at the upper surface of each peripheral housing for clogging the peripheral housing upon the corresponding levelling device.
