Vibration Impact of Rail Systems on the Environment

Industrial Sector Training

Duration: 2 days (14 hours)
Price: 1 800€

The implementation of new rail projects in urban areas, or the modification of existing networks, can lead to vibration problems for local residents. It is important to understand vibration propagation phenomena and to anticipate their treatment. This training course presents the problems encountered throughout railway projects, and the solutions available to remedy them.
