 Access railway crossing within the territory of the plant may be made of concrete or reinforced concrete plates.  It will be an optimum and economic solution with a low traffic volume crossing.  

Rubber-concrete flooring and rubber-cord crossing systems are more appropriate for construction of crossing of railway lines with a highway. Flexible material of such flooring absorbs mechanical vibrations caused by moving vehicles. Vibration energy is absorbed along the entire surface, which protects the main concrete plate and rail fixtures form deformation and destruction.
