Arianna ® is a ballastless system consisting of prefab slab tracks made of prestressed reinforced concrete installed on a base foundation with the insertion of a special bedding layer which creates a regular and even resting surface, thus compensating foundation irregularities. Arianna ® R-SLAB is the ballastless solution specifically designed for railway lines and it is ideal for passenger and high speed lines, thanks to its safety features, for tunnels when access to the line must be granted to rubber-wheeled rescue vehicles, for viaducts as it reduces the overall weight of the structure, and for reduced maintenance costs, which is not of least importance. Arianna ® does not require traditional maintenance such as ballast tamping, levelling, cleaning and renewal, which is a significant factor especially in stations.
The Arianna system is supplied in both standard and Plus versions. If, on the one hand, the standard version meets anti vibration specifications that are comparable to a ballast system, the Arianna ® Plus version is designed for cases where high performances are required in terms of vibration damping in crucial sections of the railway line, due to proximity to residential buildings, in tunnel sections interfering with sensitive points or in stations. The Arianna ® ballastless system, which is conceived, designed and manufactured by Wegh Group, offers safe train travel and excellent superstructure accessibility.
