French term or phrase: La voie sur dalle
"La voie sur dalle est considérée pour les besoins de la simulation 60% plus chère que la voie ballast."
"la voie sur dalle" is giving me a hard time; I resorted to Google translate and it is translating it as "slab line". Is this accurate? Paper is about rail road construction costs and development procedure.

Thank you for the help.
