PROTECTING THE TRACK FORMATION BY MEANS OF PVC FOILS

Description of the use of PVC foils to protect track formation against surface water. The foil is placed between the ballast and the subgrade. Thus far, the PVC foil has succeeded as protection against surface water. Preferable system when the bearing capacity of the subgrade is reduced by inadequate surface drainage or with certain types of stone which deteriorate. The PVC does not work with water percolating from beneath.
