Stormwater Infrastructure for Rail Corridors

Constructed drainage channel carrying stormwater beside a rail corridor

Stormwater infrastructure protects rail corridors, track formation, access roads and surrounding land from uncontrolled runoff. Without effective drainage, water can soften formation materials, contaminate ballast, erode batters, restrict access and increase maintenance requirements. Therefore, effective rail drainage requires more than an isolated civil structure. Project teams must consider catchment flows, corridor geometry, track levels, ground […]
