Railways

Whether the situation of contention in cutting of land or creating an area by filling the land, our solutions are focused on the safety and viability of your project.

Strata Geosystems solutions are well-established to reduce the bearing pressures exerted by railway embankments on poor subgrades by spreading the loads uniformly over a wider area. This is a more economical option as compared to conventional solutions and presents a viable alternative in cases where intermediate improvement is required.

StrataWeb® and SGB grids, arranged in the ballast and sub-ballast layers or between one of these and the subgrade, reinforce the railway structure, maximizing its performance and minimizing intervention and repair costs.

Soil erosion is a major concern considering the integrity of the sub-ballast and ballast layers may be affected by severe cuts arising due to weathering.

StrataWeb® helps to prevent erosion by effectively confining the topsoil within its three-dimensional frame. Locally available fertile soil can be used as an infill which can be further vegetated to provide a green finish, thus avoiding the use of expensive stones for slope protection. Installation is extremely simple and five times faster as compared to stone pitching.
