Chair: Madeleine Coyle, (PWI), Senior Technical Officer (Track), Network Rail
FIRST PRESENTATION
Slab track explained through recent application projects
In this presentation we will provide a general overview of the general approach to slab track and its application.
Based on illustrative examples of projects PORR has implemented, we will dive into the most frequent application for high speed, rehabilitation, metro projects and specific cases that slab track can be the preferred choice.

SECOND PRESENTATION
Slab track IVES: Superstructure upgrade during short track possessions
Due to the ongoing success of railways as means of public transport and cargo, lines are busier than ever. This leads to a decrease in time for rehabilitation and maintenance. The solution is: faster construction in short track possessions. Rhomberg Sersa has been constructing slab track for more than 25 years. This vast experience was put into the development of the IVES slab track system. This session will introduce the system, present long-term studies and give space for open discussions.
