BaseLok BallastGuard is the most robust laminated geogrid product on the market today. It provides effective reinforcement due to a node-only lamination allowing for improved sub-ballast interlock through the apertures of BaseLok GeoGrid. BallastGuard was developed to address ballast fouling issues present at rail sites throughout the world by mitigating the effects of the pumping action caused by rail traffic. Its technology provides for better performance by combining the advantages of a proprietary, custom-designed, non-woven geotextile and a very stiff biaxial geogrid, creating an all-in-one anti-pumping geocomposite product. The primary application for the BallastGuard is for railroad ballasts.
