Method for the continuous laying of a rail on a rigid track in addition to an alignment device and a rigid track

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for the continuous laying of a rail ( 4,4′ ) on a rigid track, in particular consisting of precast concrete components ( 1 ). According to said method, the rail ( 4,4′ ) is positioned in a channel ( 3,3′ ) of the rigid track and is fixed by said channel ( 3,3′ ) being filled. The inventive method is characterised in that chamber filler blocks ( 30 ) are located at the sides of the rail ( 4,4′ ) and the gap ( 32 ) between the chamber filler blocks ( 30 ) and the sides ( 34 ) of the channel is filled with a grouting mortar.
