Ballast for Track Beds, Foundation Layers & Industrial Drainage

Thrifty Alberta’s Ballast is a coarse, angular stone engineered for stability and longevity in infrastructure and drainage systems. Most commonly used in railway track beds, it holds ties firmly in place while allowing efficient water flow and load distribution.

This heavy-duty material is also ideal for underpinning retaining walls, pipelines, and heavy traffic surfaces, offering dependable compaction and drainage support.
