EMS LU/Multi-Track
EMS LU/Multi-Track
EMS has engineered two high-quality, heavy-duty entrance matting systems specifically for the London Underground. These systems combine low-smoke, low-toxic-fume natural rubber with an advanced drainage design, integrated into the EMS Debris Channel entrance matting system.
The natural rubber infill used in the EMS LU Section 12 entrance matting system was scientifically developed in collaboration with a highly respected specialist. Extensive research and rigorous testing were carried out to ensure this system delivers industry-leading performance, making it one of the most effective entrance matting solutions for the rail industry, particularly for London Underground environments. It is also ideal for other demanding applications, including marine, airport, transport hubs, and any location requiring durable, high-performance entrance matting.
The EMS system, LU Section 12 approved, is now widely specified and installed across the London Underground network. Current installations include major stations such as Farringdon, Cannon Street, and Tottenham Court Road.
Following the success of the multi-directional natural rubber infill design, specifiers requested a solution suitable for environments not bound by low-smoke and low-toxic-fume requirements. EMS responded with the EMS Multi-Track NS12 (Non-Section 12) system, which delivers all the benefits and design features of the original LU-approved product—but at a more cost-effective price point. This entrance matting solution is perfect for overground railways, airports, shopping centres, warehouses, and other heavy-traffic commercial or industrial environments.
