Track geometry and maintenance is very sensitive to the track substructure, subgrade and/or ballast conditions and train speeds and loads. Neoloy’s 3D cellular confinement system technology provides reinforcement to railroad track substructure providing structural support.

Neoloy Geocells, which are usually placed at the ballast/subgrade interface area have been shown to decrease the rate of track surface geometry degradation (both surface and cross-level) under a range of traffic loadings.

In fact, the cost of maintaining such infrastructure over time (Total Cost of Ownership) determines the economic worthiness and success of track engineering solutions and not the initial construction or rehabilitation cost. The ability of Neoloy to reduce the rate of degradation, particularly in these high degradation rate locations, is of great value for both in the construction of new lines and in the maintenance of existing lines.

Neoloy Geocells offer cost-effective ground reinforcement solution for substructure layers, embankments, turnouts and train yards, as well for earth stabilization solutions for slope protection, railway abutments and earth berms and noise barriers.
