Floating Slab Mats
The Floating Slab Mat (FSM) supports the concrete slab on a continuous resilient layer to cut ground-borne vibration in your most sensitive urban corridors, such as TRAM ways Built on the mass-spring principle and tuned to your track and train design, it protects nearby buildings while keeping maintenance to a minimum.
What are Floating Slab Mats products and how do they work?
Floating Slab Track Systems work on the mass-spring principle: the concrete slab acts as the mass, elastically supported by a continuous resilient mat acting as the spring. Its elastic properties are set by track and train design, material, thickness, number of layers and shape factor, so performance can be tuned project by project. Supplied in rolls or sheets for installation in single, double or more layers, with no closing joints between adjacent mats, The floating slab track system achieves vibration attenuation up to 25 dBv with a low resonance frequency across the most critical frequency ranges.
Speak to our rail expertsAchieve vibration attenuation of up to 25 dBv with a low resonance frequency from 14 to 25 Hz.
Reduce recorded vibration levels by between 15 and 25 dB(v) at critical frequencies.
Fit tunnel inverts, manholes, pipes and other special track works with no closing joints.
Made from 90% recycled rubber and fully recyclable, with GWP data across the range.
Product benefits
Fast, flexible installation
Save time and labour with quick installation in rolls or sheets, and no closing joints to manage.
Tuneable performance
Tune vibration attenuation up to 25 dBv to suit tunnels, manholes and other special track works.
Protects surrounding structures
Protect nearby buildings and residents with reductions of 15 to 25 dB(v) at critical frequencies.
Overview
The Floating Slab Mat supports a concrete slab on a continuous resilient layer, using the same mass-spring principle as our other resilient systems. It's tuned to deliver a higher level of ground-borne vibration attenuation, making it well suited to tunnels, metro lines and sensitive urban corridors.

There are more Pandrol clips in service than there are people in Europe. Over three-times the amount to be precise. We have 3 billion clips in use and Europe has a population of around 750 million.
