MEA® City Rail Track Drainage Systems

MEA rail track drainage systems offer reliable surface water removal from tram and light rail infrastructure. They directly improve tramway safety by preventing standing water and debris buildup near the rail rim. Because MEADRAIN RAIL uses polymer concrete, it combines high strength with chemical resistance to keep rails clean and dry. Furthermore, the system aligns with standard tram profiles like Ri 53, 54, 59, and 60, ensuring excellent fit and long-term durability. With various system lengths and seamless interconnections, MEA empowers cities to maintain their tram infrastructure with confidence and precision.

Features

• Polymer concrete body ensures mechanical strength and corrosion resistance

• Compatible with Ri 53, 54, 59, and 60 tramrail profiles

• Prevents dirt and sediment build-up in wheel flanges

• Supports load-bearing demands of light and heavy rail systems

• Helps reduce maintenance frequency and long-term system degradation

• Factory-molded connection elements enable fast installation

Applications and Benefits

• Designed for tramways, light rail systems, and urban track environments

• Prevents water pooling that leads to infrastructure corrosion or electrical risks

• Reduces operational disruption due to track contamination or blocked flange paths

• Extends service life of rail systems by preventing structural damage from water or debris

• Enhances urban safety through reliable drainage and cleaner rail movement

Installation and Layout Flexibility

MEA®DRAIN RAIL systems are available in 1000 mm, 1500 mm, and 2000 mm modular sections for simple, rapid on-site installation. Each channel is formed from polymer concrete, combining lightweight handling with excellent compressive strength. The system integrates seamlessly with most existing tram infrastructure. Installers can align elements precisely with tram rail geometry, ensuring stable support and unobstructed water flow throughout the entire rail line.

FAQs
