Appitrack: Complete track solution with a ground-breaking, rapid construction method

Faster construction for the same investment

Appitrack achieves three to four times faster automated track laying than conventional methods for the same cost.

A coordinated series of 3D-guided automated machines conducts successive operations, from concrete laying to baseplate insertion. These rationalised logistics leads to a reduced disruption during works and a shorter project completion time. 

Versatility of application

Appitrack is Alstom’s all-in-one track system solution, covering every stage from design and planning to construction and integration. Its flexibility makes it suitable for all rail systems such as metro, tramway, conventional, and high-speed rail. It is adaptable to tracks at-grade, in tunnel, and elevated tracks. It also supports floating slab track installations with noise- and vibration-dampening mats, making it ideal for dense urban areas and the modern metro lines which are more demanding in environmental mitigation impacts.

Economical and low impact

Without any further civil works necessary, the system requires less labour, which, combined with a 40% shorter works schedule, generates substantial cost savings. It is right of way also provides lower impact on street traffic, in addition to its faster work rate and less dust and noise in the surrounding area. City centre businesses are less jeopardized by the disruption which are unavoidable during tramway construction works. From Jerusalem to Nottingham and from Reims to Riyadh, many public transport authorities have already been satisfied by the numerous benefits of Appitrack technology.
