RailPile™ is a patent-pending ground stabilization system, developed in partnership with MAGNUM® Piering, designed to permanently solve soft subgrade issues—without shutting down your railroad.
For decades, railroads have relied on outdated corduroy construction to support track over weak soils. As these buried wood layers deteriorate, they create settlement, slow orders, and ongoing maintenance headaches.
RailPile™ replaces that failing foundation with specially designed galvanized steel helical screws, specifically engineered for railroad stabilization, installed directly through the ballast—no track removal required.
Using a proven crisscross installation pattern, RailPile™ reinforces the subgrade by transferring loads deeper into stable soils. The result is a stronger track structure, reduced deflection, and long-term performance you can count on.
RailPile™ isn’t just a repair—it’s a long-term upgrade to your track’s performance and your railroad’s bottom line.
Why RailPile™?
Stronger Track. Proven Performance.
RailPile™ delivers immediate structural improvement where it matters most—beneath your track.
- Increases subgrade stiffness for a more stable foundation
- Reduces deflection under load to protect track integrity
- Maintains alignment and geometry for longer-lasting performance
