Designed to meet stringent insertion loss requirements, the FST system provides high‑performance ground‑borne vibration mitigation by decoupling the slab from the structure.
Floating Slab Track
GenieMat® FST isolators are engineered to meet project specifications in continuous, linear, and discrete configurations. Designed for enhanced insertion loss in sensitive adjacencies, they offer a low natural frequency across a wide load range.
This isolating element sits between the floating slab and the structural trough below, providing effective separation from structural vibrations. For substantial ground-borne vibration mitigation, a mass-spring system remains the most effective vibration isolation solution.
Designed to meet stringent insertion loss requirements, the FST system provides high‑performance ground‑borne vibration mitigation by decoupling the slab from the structure.
The isolators are configured to deliver a low natural frequency over a wide range of loads, helping reduce vibration transmission even under varying train axle loads and speeds.
Available in continuous, linear, and discrete isolator formats, enabling designers to tailor the system for ease of installation, increased load capacity, or the lowest achievable natural frequencies.
The resilient materials used in the system exhibit very low long‑term creep (less than 1% per decade), ensuring consistent performance and long service life in demanding rail applications.
This high-performance floating slab track is designed to reduce vibration, protect structural components, and improve rider comfort on rail lines. Common applications include:

GenieMat® FST features high thermal stability and a low glass transition temperature, providing an operating range of -40°C to +110°C (-40°F to 230°F).
Yes, the GenieMat® FST can be integrated into existing track structures during maintenance or infrastructure upgrades as a practical retrofit isolation system.
GenieMat® FST systems are designed for long-term, maintenance-free performance. Routine inspections focus on track condition rather than the isolation materials.
By mitigating vibration and load stresses, GenieMat® FST safeguards structural elements and extends the operational service life of the track and surrounding infrastructure.
Absolutely! GenieMat® FST is specifically engineered to meet the unique mechanical specifications and load requirements of any project.
