Ballast degradation occurs quickly under heavy axle loads, especially when track is constructed over weak subgrade soils. This can result in speed restrictions, increased maintenance, and costly downtime. The GEOWEB® Ballast Stabilization System reduces vertical pressure on the subgrade and creates a high-stiffness foundation that improves track stability and performance.

By minimizing aggregate movement, rotation, and settlement, GEOWEB-stabilized ballast significantly extends ballast life and reduces the need for frequent maintenance.

Learning Objectives:

• Understand the benefits of GEOWEB-stabilized ballast from accredited research and testing.
• Learn how the GEOWEB stabilization system can reduce vertical ballast pressure and ballast movement.
• Understand the typical applications for GEOWEB ballast stabilization.
• Learn how to apply GEOWEB stabilization to extend rail life and reduce maintenance.
