As a part of infrastructure, railways demand robust and efficient structural support. At Southern Geosynthetics Supplies (SGS), we provide top-grade geosynthetic solutions qualifying as the industry’s first choice for rail application. Our product line ensures stability, durability, and optimised performance to sustain the demands of the rail industry.

Specialised Geosynthetic Solutions for Rail 

We offer a wide range of geosynthetic products that meet the rigorous standards of the rail industry. Our expertise stems from over three decades of experience, serving the dynamic needs of railway construction, maintenance, and development projects. 

  • Geotextiles are used to separate railway ballast from the subgrade, reducing the need for maintenance. This separation prevents the loss of granular material into the subgrade, ensuring the stability of the railway tracks. 
  • Geogrids provide a significant contribution by increasing the bearing capacity of the sub-ballast layer. This geosynthetic solution can significantly delay the onset of differential settlement, reducing maintenance frequency and cost.

How to Apply Geosynthetics in Railway Construction

Applying geosynthetics to a railway construction project involves intricate procedures. Firstly, the subgrade must be prepared by removing unsuitable soil and replacing it with an appropriate bearing or fill material. 

Once the subgrade is prepared, a geotextile layer should be installed to facilitate separation and filtration. This layer prevents the intermixing of different soil particles and ensures the stability of the surface. 

The next step is to apply the geogrid layer. It should be installed within the sub-ballast layer to increase the bearing capacity and reduce differential settlement.
