Ballast

Overview

While railway ballast is primarily used in the construction and maintenance of railroads, it is not typically used in traditional building construction. However, there are some specialized applications where railway ballast or similar materials may be used in building projects:

Foundations for heavy structures: In some cases, Railway Ballast similar may be used as a foundation material for heavy industrial or commercial structures. These materials can provide stability and distribute the weight of the building, helping to prevent settling or subsidence.
Retaining walls: Railway Ballast may be used as backfill material behind retaining walls. This helps with drainage and stability, especially in areas with poor soil conditions.
Parking lots and driveways: Railway Ballast is commonly used in the construction of parking lots and driveways.
