OAT grass filler blocks (OAT RKEF) have been proven to be good against noise and reduce environmental impact.
With the OAT RKFE, improved accessibility of rails and small irons for maintenance and in the corrosion-inhibiting stray current insulation of the rails with respect to the surrounding material is achieved.
The OAT RKFE enable a grass height up to the top edge of the rail head and meet the requirements of the German Federal Railway Authority (EBA) for a stable technical device for securing the track groove (OS 815).

COMPELLING REASONS FOR OUR SERVICES.
ADVANTAGES
For different rail types (e.g. 60Ri2, 49E1 etc.), for curves and switch areas, available for both Vignol and grooved rails
Adaptable to threshold spacing and different requirements through individual design and different lengths – large range of variants (e.g. OAT Standard S49, OAT RKFE Light)
Fulfil the purpose of rainwater retention
Positive acoustic effects – reduced airborne sound and structure-borne sound through enclosure in humus/topsoil and absorbent planting
Better aesthetic effect compared to ballasted or fixed track systems
Improvement of the urban climate through evaporation and pollutant absorption/retention in the green track
Low maintenance due to high durability and permanent dimensional stability
Improved accessibility of rails and track fittings for maintenance
Use of recyclable materials – good environmental performance
Additional ventilation in the area of the fastening (metal), significantly reduces the susceptibility of the mostly metal fastening types to corrosion (variant OAT Standard S 49)
