Future-Proof Non-ballasted Tracks with Pandrol’s New Common Interface System
Pandrol is delighted to announce the launch of the Common Interface System; a new solution designed to future-proof non-ballasted track.
The Common Interface System, as its name suggests, provides a common connection point for a range of different direct and indirect fastening assemblies. A common base accommodates three different fastenings: FCA, DFC and Vanguard.
As a result, when noise and vibration mitigation requirements differ along a stretch of track or change in future, rather than having to modify or replace the whole track, the fastening system can simply be swapped out.
A standard kit of components is fitted into the sleepers or pre-cast concrete slab to create the Common Interface footprint to accommodate any of the Pandrol Common Interface Fastening Systems.
Significant financial savings and minimising disruption to rail network by replacing the fastening system only, instead of the whole track.
Reduced cost of sleeper or slab factory tooling.
The Common Interface System offers all the advantages of a double resilience baseplate system in terms of safety, reliability, and durability.
