Rail Track Ballast – Tarmac
Rail track ballast serves as a bed for rail tracks and provides drainage and strength for heavy loads carried by trains. Ballast is the description for the aggregate beneath the rail track. The track ballast forms the track bed that suports the rail track load and provides water drainage. Rail ballast aggregate is typically 30-50mm aggretate.
