Expo 1520

The III International Rail Salon EXPO 1520 was held in the town of Scherbinka outside Moscow from 07 - 10 September, 2011 on the premises of the Experimental Ring, branch of the Railway Research Institute.
 
EXPO 1520 is an international salon showcasing the latest achievements in rail equipment, technology, infrastructure, services and logistics.

Many visitors could learn about the slab track system Low Vibration Track (LVT). Three of the four longest tunnels in the world will soon be equipped with the LVT system.

Project success in Turkey

The Low Vibration Track system (LVT) for slab tracks, which has many references worldwide, will be used in another ambitious project, the tunnel crossing Bosporus called Marmaray. This about 12km-long line with double-track consists out of tubes under the European and Asian side of the city connected by an immerse tube beneath the Bosporus. Beside the installation of LVT standard system, sections where the LVT High Attenuation system and special LVT supports for height adjustment are required. With these emphasis is being put on protecting the environment and the city’s historical buildings as well as the geological conditions. The opening of the tunnel is planned for 2013. We are very proud to be part of this prestigious project, in which for the first time, two continents are connected with the LVT system.
