Switch/Spot Ballast Undercutting

Balfour Beatty Rail's specialized equipment provides ballast remediation in sidings, yard applications, switches or other track areas too small for standard undercutting equipment.
 
The switch undercutter uses a ditcher wheel and undercutter chain to remove fouled ballast from under switches, road crossings and short sections of track.

Our equipment can get to those areas where obstructions would prohibit the use of a large production-style undercutter. Specialists can discard the fouled ballast into an airdump, gondola-style car or into the outer track area.

Don't let fouled ballast jeopardize the safety and efficiency of your railroad operations.
