T-TRACK stands apart with its advanced engineering and design, offering superior technical advantages over traditional ballasted track systems. The innovative ballast-less design ensures greater structural stability, enhanced durability, and reduced maintenance requirements. By eliminating components like sleepers and ballast, T-TRACK achieves a seamless and robust solution that optimizes railway performance under diverse operational conditions.
| T-TRACK | BALLASTED TRACK |
|---|---|
| Fully Integrated Engineering Design | Empirical Design |
| No Ballast Required | Ballast Required – Fouling Inevitable |
| No Sleepers Required | Sleepers Required |
| Continuous Rail Support | Discreet Rail Support |
| Reduced Rail Stresses = Smaller/Lighter Rail Profiles | Higher Rail Stresses = Larger Rail Profiles Required |
| Continuous Resilient Pad = Greater Dynamic Load Distribution | Resilience Supplied by Ballast = Compromised by Contamination of Ballast |
| Fixed Track Geometry | Track Geometry to be re-instated on a regular basis – tamping and screening of ballast |
| Reduced Rolling Stock Wear | Wear Dependent on Sleeper and Ballast Dynamics |
| Increased Passenger Comfort | No Fixed Dynamic Geometry |
| Stable Passenger Comfort | Subject to Stability of Ballast |
| Designed for Desert Conditions | Not Designed – Unsuitable for Desert Conditions |
| Minimal Maintenance Required | Standard Complex Maintenance Required |
| Drainage Friendly | Drainage Problematic |
