Description
Walking Ballast for Rail Tracks, Utility Yards & High-Stress Surfaces
Thrifty Alberta’s Walking Ballast is a coarse, angular stone designed for extreme load-bearing and minimal shifting under foot or equipment traffic. Commonly used along railway tracks, substations, and industrial yards, it resists compaction and allows water to drain freely.
This tough aggregate supports long-term stability, reduces maintenance needs, and withstands harsh weather and weight stress—ideal for both safety-critical and heavy-use environments.
