SOLUTIONS FOR NEW RAIL FORMATIONS - REDUCING IMPORTED MATERIAL

RAIL FORMATION CONSTRUCTION – REDUCING VOLUMES OF IMPORTED MATERIAL

The structural capacity of the rail formation can be improved by reinforcement both at subgrade level and within the sub-ballast or formation layers. The solutions of either a Geotextile, Geogrid or Geoweb can be evaluated by desktop analysis, but the real economic benefit is achieved by applying actual site conditions. The right analysis of subgrade conditions, ballast properties, and traffic volumes and type, will link to a Geosynthetic product that provides maximum economic and environmental benefits.
