Webinar – Maximizing Ballast Life and Rail Performance with GEOWEB Geocells – Feb. 4

News | January 14, 2025 | By:

Presto Geosystems presents the webinar – Maximizing Ballast Life and Rail Performance with the GEOWEB Geocells – on February 4, 2025, at 11 a.m. CST. The presenter is chief engineer Bryan Wedin, P.E., a 1.0 PDH credit is available, and you can register here.

Ballast degradation can rapidly occur under heavy axle loadings over soft subgrade soils. Ballast failure can lead to speed reductions, track downtime, and costly maintenance and repairs. In railroad applications, the GEOWEB® Ballast Stabilization System reduces the vertical pressure reaching the subgrade and provides a high-stiffness foundation. GEOWEB-stabilized ballast significantly reduces ballast movement, aggregate rotation, and rail settlement—resulting in increased ballast life and long-term performance.

Maintaining stable track conditions is essential for the safety and efficiency of train operations. However, ballast degradation can lead to speed reductions, track downtime, and costly maintenance and repairs. That’s where the GEOWEB® Ballast Stabilization System comes in.

Join us for our free webinar to learn how GEOWEB-stabilized ballast can improve long-term performance for railroads. The presenter will cover the benefits of GEOWEB-stabilized ballast, how it can reduce vertical ballast pressure and movement, typical applications, and how to apply the system to extend rail life and reduce maintenance costs.

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.
