Solutions
Ditching
Essential for the longevity and foundational strength of a railway, proper ditch maintenance increases the stability of ballast and subgrade by moving water away from the track and right of way.
Solutions
Specialty Excavating
Throughout every railroad, there are specialty trackwork areas that are restrictive for mechanized machines to perform the simplest of tasks such as ballast excavation.
Solutions
Undercutting
Maintenance of the ballast layer directly below the ties 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.
