In July 2024, the Joint Research Centre (JRC) of the European Union identified Urban Heat Islands (UHI) and urban overheating—resulting from prolonged periods of extreme temperatures—as a significant and growing effect of climate change. In urban environments, sealed surfaces such as roads and buildings absorb heat throughout the day and release it at night. This not only causes discomfort but also poses serious health risks, including dehydration, heatstroke, and worsened air quality due to trapped pollution. Multiple research studies and publications have confirmed that these health risks are...

BERA® RailFix – A Complete Urban Greening Solution for Tramways What is BERA® RailFix BERA® RailFix is an innovative modular system designed to green urban tramways while delivering a wide range of environmental, structural, and operational benefits. The system consists of: • High-strength, driveable cellular modules with excellent water retention capacity • Integrated sound-reducing rubber elements • A low-maintenance biodiverse surface, planted with local succulents such as sedum These modules are installed between and alongside tram tracks, maximizing their ecological impact. All components...

1. Rubber, noise reducing profiles, for lateral fixation to the rails (glued or mechanical fixing) 2. Rubber expansion fittings 3. RailFix module, installed in between and aside of the track including hoisting system 4. Vegetation layer such as sedum, available on request or to be supplied by local nursery In addition to the noise reduction achieved by BERA® RailFix, there are optional methods to further reduce noise and/or vibration by these products: 1. Low Noise Barrier (LNB) in L or T configuration, reducing up to 6 dB(A) 2. Anti-vibration mats (CONIRAP) 3. Rail Noise Absorbers For more info,...

LNB – TYPE T The Inverted T-Type Low Noise Barrier (LNB-T) is composed of three prefabricated components that are assembled on-site to form an effective acoustic barrier. Its inverted T-shape provides a self-supporting structure, eliminating the need for additional anchoring. The barrier is manufactured from 100% recycled rubber, encased in concrete base profiles for stability and topped with a stainless-steel cap for enhanced durability and a refined appearance. The LNB-T can be installed either as a stand-alone unit between tram or rail tracks, or alongside the tracks, depending on project...

The comprehensive system range of CONIRAP anti-vibration mats helps to eliminate noise transmitted from train bogies on surface and underground tracks and thus contributes to improvement of the environment. They can be used under gravel or concrete beds or for specially adapted systems for installation on rails. Static stiffness Dynamic stiffness
