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. 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.
The constant weight of parked trailers, stacked containers, and heavy traffic patterns can cause your intermodal or port facility yard’s surface and subbase materials to degrade. This instability of the base materials causes rutting, potholes, and even pavement failure. These surface problems can require costly maintenance, and significant interruption of facility operations, as well as create a loss of income from usable space. The GEOWEB® system reduces the vertical pressure and provides a high-stiffness foundation, increasing the load capacity of the subgrade to more effectively handle heavy reach stackers and container loads. In the base layer under hard pavements, confinement of aggregate significantly reduces movement, lateral heave, and settlement for increased pavement life. For unpaved surfaces, the GEOWEB system solves surface stability problems with less aggregate and less maintenance even allowing sand or on-site, lower quality aggregate to be used as infill. Learning Objectives: Understand the benefits of using the GEOWEB 3D Soil Stabilization System on surfaces and pavements. Learn how the GEOWEB system reduces vertical pressure and subbase movement. Understand how the GEOWEB system can reduce pavement depths. Learn how the GEOWEB confinement system extends pavement life and reduces maintenance.
