Drains


TBT Engineering has developed and patented a proven ground stabilization product and technique that mitigates issues caused by peat boils and peat migration from beneath railway embankments.
The Spring Drain is a composite geo-synthetic installation that is mechanically threaded between cribs (ties) at afflicted areas of track.
Through a combination of dynamic shear wave dissipation, expedited porewater pressure relief, and load transference the Spring Drain reduces and eliminates ongoing maintenance costs (ditching and releveling), operational costs (peat removal and slow orders), and potential safety hazards (settlement induced rail fatigue and derailments).

Spring Drain Solutions are provided through our corporate subsidiary entity “S–Drains”
