Track system
L.V.T(Low Vibration Track)
- Structure wrapping lower part of a sleeper with anti-vibration rubber box and embedding it into concrete slab
- Applied for many kinds of different railroads such as Inchon 1st line, Daegu 2nd line and Bundang line. etc.
- Law construction cost, easy maintenance and excellence in safety
Method for vibration and noise reduction
Floating track (3.33km)
- Applied for vibration and noise prevention of the sections(such as residential area and ducational facilities. etc) causing complaints
- Restraining vibration and noise by floating concrete slab on full-supporting vibration mat
