\n Undercutting<\/span>\n <\/h2>\n <\/div>\n\n \n
\n Maintenance of the ballast layer directly below the sleepers is an essential part of a healthy track structure. Ballast degrades over time and becomes increasingly fouled reducing its ability to drain, provide adequate load bearing support and withstand vertical, lateral and longitudinal forces.<\/span>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>[vc_empty_space height=”24px”]\n Solutions<\/span>\n <\/a>\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>
