MAIN FEATURES:
Elimination of initial differential settlements which are caused
by the impact of passing trains.
The track geometry achieved by tamping machines is retained
for a longer duration.
Homogenous structure of ballast bed is built up.
Lateral track resistance increases resulting in enhanced safety
against track buckling.
Speed restrictions are relaxed faster.
