T-TRACK revolutionizes railway construction with its streamlined and efficient design, offering significant advantages over conventional ballasted systems. The ballast-less technology simplifies construction processes, reduces material handling, and minimizes site preparation. With faster installation times, reduced labor requirements, and the ability to adopt a multi-nodal construction approach, T-TRACK ensures timely project completion while maintaining the highest standards of quality and precision.
| T-TRACK | BALLASTED TRACK |
|---|---|
| Can reduce installation period due to separate crews working independently at various points along the rail route on green field lines | Standard construction periods as completed track is required for on-track logistic equipment |
| Less earthworks due to formation width – up to 40% | More earthworks |
| Less layer works due to formation width – up to 30% | More layer works |
| Less mass and volume of permanent way material per meter – up to 65% | More mass and volume of permanent way material per meter |
| Transport and logistics costs reduced | Increased transport and logistics |
| Rail cost reduced as lighter rail sections can be included due to continuous rail support | More rail cost |
| Total system cost reduced (CAPEX + OPEX) | More system cost |
| Reduced maintenance cost by up to 90% | More maintenance cost due to ballast |
| Minimal operational downtime for track maintenance | Increased operational downtime on-track maintenance |
| Saving in damage repairs | More damage cost+ downtime |
| Longer turn out life | Shorter turn out life |
| Non-specialized on-track rail equipment | Complex expensive equipment |
