Tensar, a Division of CMC
Tensar and Geopier offer engineered solutions that are proven to predictably and cost-effectively lower up-front construction and maintenance costs of rail tracks. Tensar uses InterAx® geogrid technology to reduce the required trackbed thickness and speed construction, saving up to $30,000 per linear mile of track. Geogrid stabilized sub-ballast and ballast layers have been proven to extend the period between maintenance operations by a factor of three to five times. Track subgrade maintenance problems caused by soft and wet soils can be mitigated without removing track, ties, or ballast with GeoSpike® ground improvement system by Geopier®. This turn-key system creates rigid load transfer elements that bypass weak subgrade soils that can be installed without lengthy track closures. It provides high stiffness and superior levels of performance to increase the railroad track subgrade modulus and decrease permanent track settlements. Visit both #606 to learn more.
