Taiwan High Speed Rail with RHEDA 2000® is one of the most impressive infrastructure projects in the world. The line connects the Taiwanese capital Taipei in the north with the industrial city of Kaohsiung in the south over a distance of 345 km. The high-speed line has been in operation since January 2007 and allows trains to cross the country at speeds of up to 300 km/h. The RHEDA 2000® system from RAILONE supports the implementation of the high-speed line and is used on bridges, in tunnels, on earthworks and for switches. In order to meet the enormous demands of high-speed trains, RAILONE opted for a revolutionary construction method: The concrete support slab was constructed without a trough structure, supplemented by modified bi-block sleepers with robust lattice girders. In particularly vibration-sensitive areas, the system is designed as a state-of-the-art mass-spring system to ensure maximum stability and comfort. Throughout the design and construction phase, RAILONE's experts provided their extensive engineering knowledge and supervised the work to ensure that every component met the highest quality standards.
