Advantages of constructing railway on embankment :-

• Lower aggregate attrition – stiff and strong confinement of ballast reduces deformation.

• Reduce lateral displacement and vertical settlement by more than 50%.

• Maintain track geometry – from Neoloy high stiffness, dimensional stability and low creep under loading.

• Reduce layer thickness – reduce sub-ballast layer and use locally available soils for sub-ballast.

• More effective than geogrids – does not require high grade aggregate and has 3D zone of influence.
