Modernización de Ferrocarriles Rápida y Sostenible: puentes y crucesSpecial interest in rail upgrade projects? This one’s for you!
During a single-weekend possession, edilon)(sedra, Strukton Rail, Technobeton BV and other partners, on behalf of ProRail, renewed the rails on two bridges and a level crossing in and around Haarlem, the Netherlands. This intensive operation was executed with military-style precision by the dedicated professionals who worked day and night.
After years of service as part of our Corkelast® ERS system, the rails had reached a level of wear that made replacement essential for continued safe and reliable operation. Our ERS solution is designed for long-term, sustainable performance—protecting both the rail and surrounding infrastructure while minimising maintenance throughout its lifespan.
With the new installations in place, these track sections are now ready for another 20+ years of dependable service. Many thanks to all partners and colleagues involved!

EIFFAGE and edilon)(sedra have successfully installed the TramERS GB5® ballastless track system in Montescourt, France. Winner of the French CIRR 2021 Innovation Award, TramERSGB5® is a new and highly durable tramway track solution developed by French companies EIFFAGE Infrastructures (road and rail activities) and edilon)(sedra.
EIFFAGE’s asphalt mixing plants in Montescourt provide the perfect location to use the design for what it was designed for: tough conditions with heavy rail and road traffic.
Installing in record time!
TramERS GB5® combines EIFFAGE’s high-performance GB5® asphalt with the advantages of the edilon)(sedra Corkelast® ERS (Embedded Rail System). The GB5® asphalt slab is quick and easy to install, allowing the rail to be installed just a few hours after asphalting! The liquid elastomer Corkelast® provides a continuously supported, highly electrically insulated, and durable rail fastening system. In addition to high resistance and low maintenance, the environmental impact is significantly reduced, especially noise and vibration. The durable track, designed for mixed traffic tracks, is fully compliant with the latest and strict French SNBC regulations for CO2 reduction.
Sustainable tramway
With the Montescourt project, both companies are demonstrating their leading innovative position and strategy to contribute to sustainable tramway construction. The expertise and collaboration of the two companies’ technical specialists have resulted in this successful state-of-the-art project. This is a good example of how innovation from partnerships can lead to a future-proof rail solution.
If you have a project with a critical short possession time, a high frequency of mixed rail and road traffic, and want a low-maintenance and environmentally friendly track, please contact our technical staff to provide you with our technical proposal.
El reto
Quickly and easily installed asphalt/track combination that can withstand heavy road and rail traffic.
La solución
TramERS GB5®.
El resultado
A virtually maintenance-free track.

One of the world’s leading football clubs, Real Madrid, has started playing football at the refurbished Santiago Bernabéu stadium. The stadium has undergone a major refurbishment, one of the highlights of which is the impressive new pitch removal system. We are extremely proud to have contributed to this engineering masterpiece by providing our Corkelast® ERS (Embedded Rail System) to support the wheels of the retractable pitch panels.
Technical masterpiece
12 single-track units were installed parallel to each other, with the A75 rail embedded in a concrete slab using the edilon)(sedra Corkelast® elastomer. The top of the rail is at exactly the same level as the slab.
Our Corkelast® ERS (Embedded Rail System) fulfils several purposes: it provides a very accurate, stable, aesthetic, and durable guide for the 6 movable grass panels, within a fully accessible slab track to allow other events to be held while the grass is being removed.
The installation of the rail system was a secure job providing technical advice, calculations, system drawings, track components, and supervision.

Each level crossing project is different and takes a different approach. edilon)(sedra are closely involved, from the design to the installation phase. Take, for example, our recent level crossing replacement project in Wellington, New Zealand.
A series of Heavy Rail crossings were replaced by our Corkelast® LCS (Level Crossing System). It all started with mapping out the specific requirements and needs of customer KiwiRail. Our Application Engineering department was closely involved in this. They advised on the dimensions of the level crossing and the integration with the surrounding infrastructure, in order to supply the best possible level crossing design.
An important project requirement was the short replacement time. The crossing is part of a busy junction, so a short possession time was crucial. In order to further speed up the construction period, a prefabricated track solution was applied. With this solution, the rail is pre-installed in the slab by means of our Corkelast® ERS (Embedded Rail System).
In addition, we took care of the supply of materials and construction by offering track layout plans, local production and storage facilities, logistical planning services, and supervision during construction. All, of course, in close cooperation with our local project partners.
El reto
Replacement of a series of level crossings, as part of a busy junction.
La solución
edilon)(sedra Corkelast® LCS (Level Crossing System).
El resultado
Replacement of the crossings in a very short time span, with minimal disruption to the local road traffic.

La corriente parásita es una consideración importante al construir proyectos de tren ligero. Se debe prevenir la corrosión futura de los rieles y los activos metálicos en el suelo (tuberías de gas, picas de tierra, cables, cimientos, etc.) por cualquier medio necesario.
En el proyecto del tranvía de Canberra, nuestra empresa desempeñó un papel importante en este aspecto. En 2017, se instalaron 12 km de carril «edilon)(sedra Corkelast® ERS» (sistema de carril integrado) de alto aislamiento como parte de una nueva red de tranvía para Transport Canberra.
Dos años después de la instalación, el grupo de trabajo de "Transport Canberra Stray Current" llevó a cabo pruebas de campo para medir los valores de aislamiento eléctrico en diferentes circunstancias climatológicas. Las mediciones reportadas formalmente demuestran que el sistema de rieles empotrados continúa mostrando una excelente tendencia estacional. La resistencia del riel a tierra en condiciones de humedad supera los 20 ohm·km, ¡mientras que las condiciones secas muestran lecturas fenomenales del orden de 60 a 80 ohm·km!
El reto
Eliminación de corrientes vagabundas >> prevención de la corrosión de rieles y activos metálicos en el suelo.
La solución
edilon)(sedra Corkelast® ERS (Sistema de Riel Embebido).
El resultado
Valores probados de excelente aislamiento eléctrico en la práctica.

The renovation project of the three Southern Connection Railway bridges crossing the Danube can justifiably be called a technical masterpiece. The degraded condition of the two existing steel bridge structures required reconstruction, and a new, third railway bridge had to be installed.
The reconstruction of the bridges had to be carried out in such a way that two-way rail traffic was maintained during the reconstruction. During the reconstruction, the first structure was built, and the second existing structure was disassembled and rebuilt. After that, the third existing structure was disassembled and rebuilt.
The mounting of the track was executed with edilon)(sedra Corkelast® ERS, mainly because almost all bridges crossing the Danube River are fastened with ERS and have proven to be highly durable and virtually maintenance-free. The existing bridges and the new bridges are operated by MÁV Zrt (Hungarian Railway Authority).
The bridges, which are situated on the line between the Eastern Railway Station and Hegyeshalom, are three of the busiest railway connections, crossing the river Danube. The aim of this project is to provide a modern transport alternative in southern Budapest for the residents of the conurbation.
El reto
The reconstruction of the bridges in such a way that two-way rail traffic was maintained during the reconstruction.
La solución
edilon)(sedra Corkelast® ERS (Sistema de Riel Embebido).
El resultado
Three new, highly sustainable railway bridges.
