BallastGuard
ESTABILIZACIÓN BASE
Ballast fouling is one of the costliest maintenance repairs experienced on commercial and industrial railway projects worldwide. Ballast fouling can be experienced when extreme loads travel over rail sections built over saturated soil sub-grades retaining water like a sponge. When a heavy load travels over problematic areas like this, the result is “mud pumping”, which forces fine silt and soil particles up into expensive sub-ballast and ballast stone in the trackbed.
BaseLok® BallastGuard™ is the combination of a proprietary geotextile laminated to our high strength BaseLok® BL 6 Geogrid,forming a Super Geocomposite. BaseLok® BallastGuard™ keeps the mud from migrating up into the ballast section, while reinforcing the ballast stone above. BaseLok® BallastGuard™ has been proven to prevent ballast fouling and reinforce the sub-ballast and ballast stone, resulting in a vast reduction in maintenance and failures.
Aplicaciones
- Protects costly sub-ballast and ballast stone from fine sub-grade contamination or “mud pumping”.
- High Strength BaseLok® Geogrid confines and enhances the performance of sub-ballast and ballast stone in trackbed.
- Overall reduction in maintenance. Undercutting, subgrade repairs, and ballast tamping are all significantly reduced!
