The invention relates to an overhead guided-transport track span having a U-shaped cross section, the two arms of which form lateral walls (4, 5) of said track, and the central region of which, connecting the two arms, forms a load-bearing slab (6) of said track, characterised in that said load-bearing slab (6) comprises at least one groove (10, 11) that is provided in said slab longitudinally along said span and is designed to be able to receive a running support (12, 13) of a guided-transport vehicle intended to travel on said track.

An method and apparatus for coating transportation components such as a bridge deck with a coating. The coating includes a sealant and rubber mixed with a resin and a foaming agent. The apparatus includes a hopper for the rubber, a impingement gun for the resin and a gun assembly that combined the rubber and resin together at a combined nozzle for spraying.

A high-speed transportation system, the system including at least one transportation tube having at least one track, at least one capsule configured for travel through the at least one tube between stations, a propulsion system for the at least one capsule; and a levitation system for levitating the capsule in the tube.

A protective coating system for a railway structure having a waterproof membrane and a ballast mat. The waterproof membrane is disposed on the railway structure. The ballast mat further has a ballast protection coating and a sealing layer. The ballast protection coating is a rubber compound and is disposed on the waterproof membrane. The sealing layer is disposed on the ballast protection layer.

A support (32) adapted to be used in place of ballast in supporting a rail support member (31) of a rail track comprises a body (50). The body (50) includes a lower face (70) for resting on a support surface, and an upper surface (71) for supporting the rail support member (31).

A high-speed transportation system includes at least one transportation structure having at least one track, at least one capsule configured for travel through the at least one structure between a plurality of stations, a propulsion system adapted to propel the at least one capsule through the structure, and a levitation system adapted to levitate the capsule within the structure. At least one track is positioned to provide balancing force vectors to achieve stability for the capsule.

A track beam includes a main component and a guide component. The main component includes a top plate, a bottom plate, and a web plate. The bottom plate is disposed below the top plate, and the web plate is connected between the top plate and the bottom plate. The guide component includes a guide plate and a connecting structure. The guide plate is disposed between the top plate and the bottom plate. The guide plate includes a planar plate structure extending in a longitudinal direction and is spaced apart from the web plate in a transverse direction. The connecting structure is connected between the main component and the guide plate such that the guide plate is connected to the main component through the connecting structure.
