Ballast Rock

Heavy, durable crushed stone for railway and heavy infrastructure support.
Ballast rock is large, angular, uniformly sized crushed stone used primarily for railway track beds. It distributes load, provides drainage, and resists track movement. Also used for heavy-duty structural applications where high bearing capacity and drainage are both required.
