previously installed heavy ooden panels. The fire-resistant structural composite

worker ease and safety. Workers are said to
be able to gain great efficiency in moulding
by the basic infusion process, which provides clean extraction after infusion. Very
little waste resin is evident and the cost and
waste management savings over traditional
consumable bagging are reported to be
significant gains for the company.
SMT has worked closely with its supplier to
ensure the quality and structural integrity
of the new sandwich floor panelling. The
company also has its own teams of installers
taking delivery from production to fit out on
each carriage refurbishment.
The new infused train carriage flooring panels replace much heavier wooden structures.
Even though the fleet is already 15 years old,
the refurbished trains will now extend their
service easily into 2030.

MT is the exclusive supplier to
Deutsche Bahn AG, producing 25,000
m2 of composite flooring for the
66-train fleet comprising 8 carriages each.
The company has developed streamlined
infusion moulding techniques using
reusable vacuum membranes. Alan Harper
Composites, the supplier of the reusable
membranes, says SMT has found enormous
advantages with the system for its simplicity
and closed mould characteristics ideal for
