Rail Products

Track Ballast is used to underpin the rails and sleepers of railways for support. The product forms the track bed, therefore supporting the track. It also helps with drainage, so that rainwater can drain away rather than pooling.  It also helps by preventing vegetation growth, which could destabilise the track causing a hazard for anyone working on the railway.  Angular stones are used instead of rounded stones because they interlock with each other which can help to reduce track movement.
