About Getzner

We make good vibrations – elastic solutions for permanent way

The variety and intensity of modern rail traffic means that the availability, comfort and environmental demands on rail systems are growing dynamically. One of the main problems associated with railways are the vibrations transmitted from the track superstructure to the nearby surroundings. These vibrations can often be felt and heard. Another significant problem is the maintenance needs resulting from wear and tear on the materials, due to insufficient elasticity in the track. Highly elastic products and systems for isolating vibrations can lead to substantial reductions in maintenance costs for both the components of the track superstructure and the vehicles that use it.

The products developed by Getzner are perfect for meeting the requirements of all axle loads and speeds. Combined with the specialized services provided by Getzner engineers, the company is able to offer a comprehensive, complete product, which sets the industry standard around the world.

Enjoying peace and quiet

Nowadays, when buildings are constructed in urban areas, the increasing exposure of such sites to vibrations can be a major challenge for architects and planners. Vibrations can stem from nearby rail lines or industrial facilities in the area and can also generate noise. Such vibrations and the unpleasant effects they cause can be reduced by isolating the building or part of the building from the vibrations
