Good track infrastructure is not only recognised by the fact that it works – but by the fact that you barely notice it. No disturbing vibrations, less noise, no premature damage. Simply reliable operation over many years. This is exactly what the HET Group develops elastic system solutions for modern track construction. They protect structures, reduce loads and ensure that infrastructure functions permanently – in operation, in the cityscape and in terms of cost-effectiveness.
Peace for the surroundings. Safety for operations.
When forces act uncontrollably, wear, cracks and maintenance costs arise. Our elastic components distribute loads in a targeted manner and decouple the system where necessary. The result:
- Noticeably fewer vibrations
- Reduced noise generation
- Longer service life of the system
- Predictable maintenance costs
Particularly in urban areas, technology thus becomes quality of life – for operators, residents and cities alike.
TRAVETTO – the slab track conceived as a system
With TRAVETTO, more than just a slab track is created. A permanently stable connection between road and rail is established – technically reliable and aesthetically flexible. Planners receive a clear solution. Construction companies a system that is easy to implement. Operators an infrastructure that remains calculable in the long term.
VF Systems – rails permanently elastically fastened
Where rails must be firmly seated yet remain flexible, VF Systems are used. The polyurethane casting compounds connect rail and substructure into a load-bearing unit while simultaneously reducing vibrations and noise. This keeps the construction protected – and riding comfort maintained. Especially in sensitive inner-city areas, this ensures sustainable infrastructure instead of recurring repairs.
Rubber granulate solutions – proven beyond track construction
The same material technology that protects track systems also provides lasting safety and comfort in many other areas. Our rubber granulate elements are used wherever surfaces need to be load-bearing, safe and durable:
Sports & Leisure – shock-absorbing surfaces for safe movement and reduced risk of injury
City – durable solutions for urban spaces with high demands
Roof – protective and functional layers for roof surfaces and technical installations
Industry – load-bearing underlays for decoupling machines and structures
Everywhere the same added value is created: less wear, lower maintenance and permanently usable surfaces.
Materials for decades, not for years
Our elastomers are designed for durability:
- Resistant to weather and temperature
- Sound-absorbing and slip-resistant
- Low-maintenance and robust
- Sustainable through recycled raw materials
This creates solutions that are both economically and ecologically convincing.
Experience that makes projects reliable
Since 1991, HET has been developing systems for demanding infrastructure projects worldwide. With ELTECPUR®, TRAVETTO and VF Systems, we offer coordinated solutions – from elastic bearing to slab track and beyond. To turn planning into lasting infrastructure, we show you on the following pages which solution fits your project.
