ACHIEVING S3 OR THE DEVELOPMENT OF A HIGHLY RESILIENT HIGH-SPEED SLAB TRACK FOR THE CHANNEL TUNNEL RAIL LINK Jean-Pierre Bergoend Bruno Petin Ian Robertson Alstom Transport – ACT JV TSO – ACT JV Alstom Transport Gate 10H, Choats Road Gate 10H, Choats Road 33, Rue des Bateliers Dagenham RM9 6PX Dagenham RM9 6PX 93400 Saint-Ouen UK UK France jpbergoe@ctrl.co.uk bxpetin@ctrl.co.uk ian.robertson@ KEYWORDS: Slab track, noise and vibration mitigation, high speed, railway constraints ABSTRACT The Channel Tunnel Rail Link (CTRL) will provide a high speed rail link between St Pancras Station in London and the Channel Tunnel portal near Folkestone in Kent. Section 2 of the CTRL comprises the main line route connecting Section 1 at Southfleet Junction and running to St Pancras in London via open routes and bored tunnels. For the London Tunnels 1 and 2 stretching between Dagenham and the St Pancras terminal station (see CTRL Project route on figure 1), a highly resilient concrete slab track development is necessary to meet very severe vibration mitigation requirements. This paper describes the specific approach adopted by the Alstom Transport-Carillion Rail-TSO JV (ACT JV) and the engineering works undertaken to develop a high speed slab track system providing a high vibration mitigation. CTRL Section 2 tunnels Figure 1: CTRL Project Route SETTING THE SCENE The Systemwide Contract C576 of the CTRL Section 2 works was awarded to the ACT JV in August 2002 and includes the design, procurement, installation and testing Commissioning of the track and Overhead Catenary System of t
