Damtec Sub-Ballast Matting up to Standards from Projex Group

Projex Group is proud to announce that Projex Damtec Sub Ballast Mat conforms to the ASA and TfNSW Standard for Ballast (T HR TR 00192 ST 2016), Section 11.6. Track stiffness and ballast mat.

The Projex Damtec Sub-Ballast Matting (SBM) is an isolation and protection mat for all types of railway construction & infrastructure maintenance in heavy rail, heavy haul rail, high speed, rapid transit and light rail networks/systems. It absorbs vibrations and considerably reduces acoustic emissions as well as structure-borne sound transmissions. The SBM protects sub-grade formations and reduces the frequency of the ballast maintenance requirement through reduced vibration and better-balanced loading. The Projex Damtec® Sub Ballast Mat is available in two thicknesses to suit any requirements: 10mm and 20mm.

Rail transport in Australia is a crucial aspect of the transport network. There is an invariable wear and tear performance of the rail infrastructure assets and equipment, which is consolidated by harsh terrains, axle loads, operational and urbanisation requirements or needs. The installation of the Projex Damtec Sub-Ballast Mat (SBM) improves operational performance and allows reduction of the peak pressure in the ballast, to increase the stability of the track geometry, to effectively reduce the structure-borne sound and static vibrations.

SBM has been used in many rail projects across Australia such as The Butler Extension in Perth, the Roy Hill - Heavy Haul Rail Project in northern Western Australia, the Regional Rail Link, Maribyrnong River project in Melbourne and numerous projects throughout Queensland.

All Projex Group railway products have been tested & certified to industry standards, which ensure the highest efficiency of the product range. These products, including the Sub-Ballast Mat, are designed to offer optimum solutions to meet individual customer requirements. They are durable, high performing, cost-effective, environmentally compliant and easy to install.
