Sip & Solve Mechanical Issues – What Does Science Say.

Date: 22-25 SEP 2026
Location: Vibratec, Hall 5.2, booth 150
Time: Every day at 10.30

Description

Railway vibration assessments rely increasingly on numerical models to predict the impact of infrastructure projects on the surrounding environment. However, the reliability of these predictions depends on the quality of assumptions, input data, and validation methods.

 

During this VibraCafé, Vibratec experts will share practical insights from real railway projects, showing how the correlation between simulations and measurements can improve model accuracy and support better engineering decisions.

 

Through concrete examples, we will discuss:

• Common gaps between predicted and measured vibration levels;

• Key parameters influencing vibration propagation through track and ground;

• Model calibration approaches based on field measurements;

• Best practices for vibration monitoring and instrumentation;

• Lessons learned from complex urban railway projects.

 

Who should attend?

This session is intended for:

• Railway Infrastructure Managers
• Track Design Engineers
• Civil Engineering Consultants
• Railway Project Managers
• Vibration & Acoustics Specialists
• Environmental Noise and Vibration Engineers
• Contractors involved in railway construction and renewal
• Asset Management and Maintenance Teams

 

This event is designed to

Provide a practical exchange between railway professionals on how measurement-based modelling can improve the prediction, control, and management of vibration issues throughout infrastructure projects.

Don’t miss this opportunity to gain valuable insights and share your experience with industry experts. Together, we can develop quieter, more reliable, and better-performing railway infrastructures.
