Rail/London Underground Multi-track Entrance Matting Systems

EMS have developed 2 High Quality and Heavy Duty entrance matting systems specifically for The London Underground combining Low smoke & Toxic fume emission Natural Rubber with excellent drainage facility incorporated into the Evergreen Debris Channel entrance matting system.

The natural rubber infill material of the EMS LU section 12 entrance matting system was scientifically designed with the help of a passionate and well-respected lady at TAARC. A vast amount of work, including thorough testing has been carried out to ensure this product is the very best barrier entrance matting on the market for the Rail industry and in particularly, the London Underground. It is suitable for any entrance matting application and will be perfect for other extreme environments, such as marine, airports and other transport industries.

Both systems are LU Section 12 approved and are currently specified by and in situ throughout the LUL. Examples of stations where this range is being used include Farringdon, Cannon Street and Tottenham Court Road.

Upon the success of the Multi-directional design of the natural rubber infill, specifiers requested an option that could be used in applications not subject to Low smoke and toxic fume emission parameters. EMS Multi-track NS12 (non-section 12) which incorporates all the benefits and design features of the original, but at a lower price. Barrier matting installations including overground railways, airports, shopping centres, warehouses and other heavy traffic areas

EMS New LU Debris Channel

This matting system consists of a solid aluminium extrusion with a low smoke and toxic fume emission, heavy ribbed black rubber insert. Our innovative Debris Channel system has the perfect solution as the channel sections collect debris below the surface of the mat and provide an excellent drainage facility. As a result there is less dirt and moisture on the surface of the mat that can be tracked into the station by foot/wheeled traffic.

EMS Multi-track Natural

Following the success of the New LU DC Matting EMS were approached by LUL with a dilemma. LUL were looking for a solution for entrances that are exposed to multi-directional foot traffic. The solution is in this revolutionary design, unique to EMS. The matting consists of the same aluminium extrusion as the New LU DC Matting except the rubber infill is arranged in a chequer board pattern. The innovative design provides maximum grip in any direction, hence the name, “Multi-track”. Designed to withstand heavy footfall in any direction as well as benefiting from our unique debris channel system. Another exciting feature of this innovative system is the development and commercialisation of natural, halogen free rubber – a world first (in association with Tun Abdul Razak Research centre www.tarrc.co.uk ).

EMS Multi-track NS12

The popularity of the Multi-directional design for London Underground station has become a design hit. Many architects were keen to specify it for commercial and retail applications, however due to the fire-retardant properties of the original it was often outside of everyday budgets. So EMS developed the same design in a SBR rubber that can be used in every application at a very competitive price. It has been widely used for transport, education and retail environments.
