Rail-Shoulder: The Engineered Solution for Superior Ballast Retention & Reduced Track Maintenance

Is your railway network constantly battling the costly and time-consuming issues of ballast migration and shoulder erosion? Do frequent track inspections reveal destabilized shoulders leading to compromised track geometry, increased maintenance frequency, and heightened safety concerns?

 

Traditional methods of maintaining the critical rail-shoulder area often involve reactive measures: repeated re-profiling, adding loose ballast (which easily washes or blows away), or deploying temporary, less effective solutions. These approaches drain resources and fail to address the root cause of instability.

 

Introducing Rail-Shoulder: The Proactive, High-Performance Shoulder Stabilization System

 

Rail-Shoulder is not just another aggregate; it's a specifically engineered railway shoulder material designed to lock ballast in place, fortify the track shoulder, and deliver significant long-term operational and financial benefits. Engineered for maximum ballast retention and durability, it tackles the core problems head-on.

The Rail-Shoulder Advantage: More Than Just Material, It's Performance Assurance

Rail-Shoulder is rigorously tested and proven in real-world railway environments. It's designed to integrate seamlessly with existing ballast and comply with relevant railway standards. Choosing Rail-Shoulder isn't just a purchase; it's an investment in:

Increased Safety: By bolstering track integrity.

Predictable Operations: Reducing unplanned maintenance disruptions.

Long-Term Asset Protection: Extending the service life of your ballast and subgrade.

Sustainability: Minimizing resource consumption (less new ballast needed, less fuel for maintenance trains/vehicles).

Cast-in rail shoulder

The casting shoulders as the embedded part of the railway fastening system are pressed in concrete sleeper and work together with the E clip to fasten the rail. The cast in shoulder is made by casting from iron, such as, GB/T 1348-1988, NF EN 1563(1997), ISO1038, DIN 1693, JIS G5502 (2001), KS D 4302, GOST 7293(1985) or BS EN 1563(1997).
