GCLR with Vossloh System 300 UTS on precast plinth.
The Gold Coast Light Rail project (GCLR) adopted a range of slab track solutions from Vossloh. The 300-series fastening together with Precast Plinth is now widely regarded as the preferred slab track solution for elevated track. It combines the benefits of track accuracy, quick & easy construction and low cost. Where possible Vossloh recommends the use of precast for slab track to minimise on-site works and maximise the quality of track.

Slab track—Heavy haul The demands on the rail infrastructure at container ports are extreme, not only for loading conditions of the cranes but also due to the marine environment exposure and corrosion risk. Vossloh specialises in such extreme conditions and has developed a new heavy-haul generation of a fastening system dedicated to the special requirements of rail-mounted container traffic: the system DFF 30 HH. Now in both Port Brisbane and Sydney‘s Port Botany, these fastening systems are successfully in use.
