Ballast preservation system still providing protection against ballast fouling
October 10th, 2024
Figure 1 Installation of BaseLok BallastGuard. In February 2023, Geosynthetics magazine published a feature article titled “Innovative solution for ballast fouling.” The feature focused on the phenomenon of ballast fouling where mud from saturated soil conditions migrates up into the sub-ballast and ballast material in rail applications. The ballast fouling issue is prevalent in coastal […]
Wrekin introduces new rationalized geogrid range
