Embedded Rail Tracks

Capture the future of urban rail engineering with Embedded Rail Tracks by Lewis Lesley — an essential, practical guide for engineers, planners, contractors, and transit authorities tackling embedded trackwork in streets, tramways, and light-rail corridors.

Clear and focused, this book unpacks the technical challenges of designing, installing, and maintaining embedded rail systems used in city centers across the UK, Europe, North America and beyond. Lesley combines real-world problem solving with sound engineering principles: track support and drainage, noise and vibration mitigation, pavement integration, materials selection, and long-term maintenance strategies. Compact case examples and application notes translate complex calculations into decisions you can use on-site or in project specifications.

Whether you’re specifying a new tramline, refurbishing historic embedded rails, or managing contract risk on a streetscape renewal, you’ll find authoritative guidance on durability, safety, and lifecycle cost that helps reduce delays and budget overruns. The text balances theory with actionable checklists and diagram-driven explanations, making it equally useful for experienced practitioners and multidisciplinary project teams.

Practical, regionally aware, and technically robust, Embedded Rail Tracks is the reference professionals turn to when quality and reliability matter.
