Advanced Geosynthetics Products for Railway Stability
Shivoham Fabtech is a leading Manufacturer & Supplier of high-performance geosynthetic reinforcement and protection products.Our high-modulus geogrids and geocomposites are engineered to reinforce railway embankments, confine track ballast, and prevent long-term differential settlement under cyclic rail loading. From heavy-haul freight corridors to high-speed passenger rail, our geosynthetic solutions meet the demanding specifications of Indian Railways (RDSO), AREMA, and EN standards for permanent way maintenance and new construction.
The Engineering Challenges We Solve
Modern rail infrastructure requires track beds that remain stable under repetitive, high-frequency dynamic loading. Shivoham Fabtech manufactures the precise geosynthetic reinforcement and drainage products required to neutralize the lateral and vertical stresses that cause track misalignment and ballast fouling, ensuring the permanent stability of railway corridors.
Controlling Ballast Lateral Displacement
Under the weight of heavy trains, ballast particles naturally move laterally, leading to track settlement and loss of alignment. We manufacture high-modulus PP Biaxial Geogrids that provide superior confinement through aggregate interlock. This creates a “stiffened” ballast layer that resists lateral spread, maintaining track geometry and significantly extending the life of the ballast.
Stabilizing Embankments over Weak Subgrades
Railway embankments constructed over soft or marshy soils are prone to deep-seated settlement and internal shear failure. We manufacture high-tenacity PET Geogrids and Polyester Geostrips that are engineered to meet the strict technical requirements of RDSO Guidelines GE: R-73 and GE: G-1. These reinforcement materials provide the high tensile modulus needed to prevent rotational slides and distribute massive axle loads over a wider area, ensuring the long-term stability of the track foundation.
Preventing Track Bed Fouling & Saturation
The migration of fine subgrade soil into the ballast (fouling) and trapped moisture are the primary causes of track instability.We manufacture specialized Geocomposites that act as high-flow separators and drainage layers. These products prevent the “pumping” of fines and ensure rapid sub-surface drainage, keeping the track bed dry and structurally sound.
