Rail Systems on Ballast Foundations
HAK Sp. z o.o. offers design and construction services for gantry rail systems on ballast foundations, adapted for cranes, hoists, transport platforms, winches, and lifting equipment. We use top-quality materials and modern technologies to ensure high resistance to loads generated by gantries and long-lasting durability.
We also provide expertise, measurements, and undertake repairs and modernization of gantry rail systems on ballast foundations. Our experience and team of specialists enable us to handle high-demand rail systems in difficult conditions in facilities with extensive infrastructure.
We design and execute:
- Rail systems on ballast foundations using the elastic rail fastening system.
- Rail systems on ballast foundations using the semi-elastic rail fastening system.
- Rail systems on ballast foundations using the rigid rail fastening system.
- Crane runways and other gantry equipment bases - support structures, foundations, viaducts, etc.
Design of Rail Systems on Ballast Foundations
HAK Sp. z o.o. offers design services for gantry rail systems on ballast foundations. We prepare projects for our own implementations and also support designers and experts in all activities to ensure smooth operation of the rail system for many years.
Installation of Rail Systems on Ballast Foundations
The tolerances required for rail installation are significantly narrower than those for mounting gantry beams. Rails can and should be joined by welding them into a continuous line using specified methods different from those used for welding structural steel. Specialized knowledge of installation techniques guarantees effective, trouble-free use of rail systems for many years. A well-developed project, highly skilled personnel, and appropriate materials and equipment enable us to provide comprehensive installation services for gantry rail systems on ballast foundations.
Methods of Rail Fastening on Ballast Foundations
There are three types of sleepers used on ballast foundations: wooden sleepers, reinforced concrete sleepers, and pre-stressed concrete sleepers. Rails are attached to the sleepers in two ways:
- The first and most commonly used method, shown in the cross-section, involves fastening the rails with screw fastenings.
- The second method involves fastening the rails with spring clips.
