Lightweight porous aggregates are increasingly applied in railway beds and cargo load distribution systems, providing stability, drainage, and even load dispersion. In railway sub-bases, they reduce settlement, improve ballast performance, and minimize vibration transfer, ensuring smoother and safer train operations. As load-distributing aggregates, porous media spread heavy cargo loads efficiently, protecting underlying soils and infrastructure. Their low density, high permeability, and durability make them ideal for high-speed rail lines, freight corridors, intermodal terminals, and port cargo yards. By combining drainage efficiency, vibration reduction, and structural reliability, lightweight aggregates contribute to sustainable and long-lasting rail and cargo infrastructure worldwide.
