High-performance, dual density Rockdelta RB solution with a composite geotextile-geogrid. Dual density – high density top layer and low density bottom layer design – ensures that static and dynamic loads from gravel, stone, soil and other covering materials do not result in deterioration of the stone wool fibre material thus helping to provide the exceptional long product life cycle, e.g. as documented by the Technical University of Munich in approved test according to DIN 45673-5.

Vibration control for ballasted tracks
Sophisticated Three-Stage Anti-Vibration Solution For Ballasted Tracks
Providing for decades of stable, predictable and highest vibration isolation even in the most demanding applications the Rockdelta anti-vibration solution for ballasted railway tracks is based on a sophisticated three-stage approach using high-efficiency Rockdelta RB as the core element.
The solution consists of a unique dual-density sub-ballast mat with;
- a low-damping, soft resilient layer – designed, tested and manufactured to have an extended lifetime with retained functional performance even under harsh climatic conditions
- a force distributing high-density top layer, and finally
- the sub ballast mats fibres are being protected from potential impairment by the ballast stones with a geocomposite product – with excellent resistance to stretching and tearing – that deforms under the load of the ballast and enables easy replacement of the ballast.
The Rockdelta geocomposite is a high-quality composite product comprising two membranes of non-woven geotextile and a load-distributing core. This solution can also be designed to act as a drainage system.
