Decidamp RTD

noise reducing rail damper

Decidamp® RTD is a rail track damper designed to effectively reduce noise generated by track resonance. The high-performance polymer composite provides significant damping via a tuned mass system. Along with noise reduction, it can also assist in reducing rail metal fatigue or corrugation growth, lowering maintenance cost.

Decidamp RTD can be designed and tuned to meet customer noise reduction requirements.

By using our internal research and development team, together with leading acoustic engineers, extensive product development was performed to create an optimised solution. On-site field testing also ensures dampers are optimised to deliver maximum effectiveness on any track configuration.

Decidamp RTD can be easily fitted to existing and new rail track as a method of complying with noise legislation and environmental planning regulations. Decidamp RTD dampers are easily attached to either side of the rail using specially designed brackets.
