Ballast Supply & Depots

JNL supplies machine-crushed track ballast to RDSO specification and runs depots that keep it flowing to the line.

How we deliver

Ballast quality and steady supply decide how fast track can be linked and maintained. We crush ballast in our own plants to Research Designs and Standards Organisation (RDSO) specification, stack it at railway depots and load it into wagons to the railway’s schedule. Our own crushers, loaders and weighbridges keep quantities measured and deliveries on time.
