Rail transport causes noise and vibrations well known to anyone who is affected by the nuisance they create in urban areas.
Matrack represents a highly effective solution for any sound insulation and vibration requirement for the rail transport sector. It includes a wide range of mats with several physical and mechanical specifications that help alleviate vibrations emitted from rail transport.
The unique structure of the rubber fibres and granules coupled with a comprehensive range of densities and thicknesses available guarantee high satisfaction in many different situations where insulation against vibrations is a key requirement.

Matrack when used under ballast is perfect for reducing the stresses produced into the gravel and also extends it’s life; in addition this solution offers maximum environmental protection against noise and vibrations induced into the surrounding environment.
Matrack when used under a floating platform provides a resilient layer to the reinforced concrete platform where the track is mounted. The result is a simple “floating mass” system for mitigating noise and vibration irradiation into the surrounding environment.
This solution provides a layer that improves track stability, reduces wearing due to undulation, mitigates vibrations and re-irradiation in the surrounding environment. This system takes advantage of two floating masses.
