Ballast is a robust, angular stone aggregate, typically consisting of crushed stone like granite or limestone. It’s characterized by its sharp edges and uneven shapes that interlock to provide superior stability. Traditionally grey in hue, this versatile material is crucial in distributing weight and lending support in various construction applications, including railroad tracks and as a base layer for concrete.

Application

Ballast is extensively used in railway construction to stabilize tracks and promote drainage, as well as in general construction as a sub-base for roads, foundations, and driveways, providing a solid bed to spread loads and prevent settlement.

Features

Load Distribution: Excellent for distributing and bearing heavy loads, ensuring structural integrity.
Drainage: Its composition and shape allow for efficient water drainage, preventing water retention and material degradation.
Durability: Highly resistant to pressure and the elements, making it suitable for heavy-duty applications and long-lasting installations.
