ADIF Railing

Protection system on railway tracks.

Summary

The ADIF railing is a protection element designed to ensure the safety of people moving through railway infrastructures. Its main function is to delimit and safeguard pedestrian areas, providing safe passage in environments where the presence of tracks or height differences requires additional containment measures.

This type of railing complies with ADIF’s technical specifications, guaranteeing compatibility with the demands of railway environments in terms of resistance, durability, and visibility. It is commonly installed in overpasses, platforms, viaducts, and other areas where a protective barrier is needed without compromising operability or accessibility.

Characteristics

Made of steel. Composition governed by ADIF specifications.
It's usually composed of three metal tubes with a larger top one serving as a handrail.
Possible variations in length as it's constructed in modules.
Adaptive to curved sections and bends.

Fastening through a base plate screwed to the floor using bolts and nuts.

Joint welded directly to a metal plate previously embedded in the concrete or pavement.

Post embedded directly in the concrete of the pavement or foundation.

Chemical anchoring system: This method involves the use of chemical adhesives to fix the railing to the pavement, creating a solid and long-lasting bond.

Mechanical anchoring system: Uses mechanical devices, such as expansion bolts, to secure the railing to the pavement.
