RHEDA CITY®
Ballastless Track Solution for Urban Transit
Key Advantages
Simple, transparent system architecture
for efficient design and delivery
Accurate track positioning and high‑precision gauge/geometry
via cross (bi‑block) sleepers
Street‑construction compatible
ideal for shared corridors and urban surfaces
Friction‑locked anchorage
of the track span for long‑term stability
No under‑pour grouting
of the track frame—avoids uncontrolled heat introduction into the track span
Monolithic construction
with optimized bonding for durability and structural integrity
Defined track elasticity
using pre‑assembled components; elastic or continuous rail support possible
Eliminates gauge tie bars
simplifying the system and reducing maintenance
High safety and long service life
with minimal maintenance demand
Electrical isolation compliance
for urban rail requirements
Supports “build‑and‑ride” procedures
to phase works and maintain operations where applicable
A key advantage of RHEDA CITY® is its unobtrusive design—it blends into the streetscape while delivering low maintenance, excellent ride comfort, high load capacity, and robust safety. Based on the proven RHEDA family principle, RHEDA CITY® is engineered specifically for mass rapid transit and excels on tram networks and surface commuter rail.
- Urban tramways and surface commuter lines
- Mixed traffic streets and constrained urban corridors
- Projects requiring low structural height and long service life
- Monolithic, ballastless slab with low installed structural height for tight urban envelopes
- Modified bi‑block sleepers with lattice trusses for fast installation and precise gauge control
- Turnout integration: turnouts can be implemented within the same RHEDA CITY® construction method for a consistent system approach
- Compatible with asphalt, concrete, or paving blocks—for seamless street integration
- RHEDA CITY® GREEN available for grassed/green track aesthetics and additional environmental benefits
