BS EN 16432‑3 is the third part in a multi-series of documents that is applicable to ballastless track systems.
BS EN 16432‑3 specifies the implementation of ballastless track system designs and the criteria for the acceptance of works concerning the construction of ballastless track systems.
Note: BS EN 16432‑3 does not include any criteria for inspecting, maintaining, repairing and replacing ballastless track systems during operation.
BS EN 16432‑3 on ballastless track systems is applicable to:
BS EN 16432-3 provides a technique for determining whether a ballastless track system design is novel and suggests implementation measures.
BS EN 16432-3 gives out the procedures for implementing ballastless track system designs as well as the acceptance criteria for ballastless track system construction.
BS EN 16432-3 provides guidelines on parameters such as tolerances for the deviation from design track position, track stiffness, track stability and durability, along with acceptance criteria for substructure and subsystems.
BS EN 16432-3 can assist you with safe methods for risk assessment, or an equivalent methodology to establish the relevance of novel aspects of a proposed ballastless track system, to guarantee better and controlled drainage in railway infrastructure.
Overall, with the best industry guidance on implementation and acceptance of ballastless track systems, BS EN 16432-3 ensures of excellent riding comfort at high speeds, consistent track geometry and long service-life.
