GEOSYNTHETICS IN TRACK BALLAST STABILISATION

The Geofabrics® Geogrid™ Triaxial is designed for use in rail track applications. Its large-aperture triaxial structure provides effective track ballast stabilisation, locking aggregate in place to limit lateral movement and maintain track alignment. This proven geogrid technology reduces ballast degradation and settlement, helping to extend maintenance cycles and improve long-term track performance and asset life.

Geoweb cellular confinement system can help create high-stiffness ballast layers by confining the ballast within the 3D structure creating a stiffened slab which increases load bearing capacity and minimises horizontal and vertical movement. The perforated structure of Geoweb allows lateral drainage of water from within the ballast.

How Geofabrics can help with track ballast stabilisation:

• Delivers significant reductions in maintenance cycles on railway tracks
• Reduces damage from rain and penetration of water
