Abstract
In order to produce a slab track for rail vehicles with an emergency pathway (12) for road vehicles, a prefabricated track section with rails (8) and sleepers (5) is supported and positioned on a substructure (1) by means of a supporting and aligning device (4). Subsequently, a track slab (10) is produced by casting in the sleepers (5). The part of the sleepers (5) that projects from the track slab (10) and the rails (8) are separated by formwork elements, and an emergency pathway (12) is applied to the track slab (10) by casting.
Claims13
Method for producing a slab track for rail vehicles with an emergency pathway for road vehicles comprising the steps of:
- supporting and positioning a prefabricated track section with rails and sleepers on a substructure by a supporting and aligning device comprising at least one horizontal member and at least one vertical member;
- mounting formwork elements over parts of the sleepers;
- producing a track slab by casting in the sleepers;
- applying an emergency pathway to the track slab by casting;
- and afterward
- removing the formwork elements from the parts of the sleepers,
- wherein:
- the parts of the sleepers project from the track slab,
- the parts of the sleepers and the rails are separated from the emergency pathway by the formwork elements while the formwork elements are mounted over the parts of the sleepers, and
- a clearance is left between the emergency pathway and the sleepers and a clearance is left between the emergency pathway and the rails after the step of removing the formwork elements from the parts of the sleepers.
