How to maintain RailwayShoulder
1. Clean up regularly
Clean up debris: Regularly clean up weeds, gravel, garbage and other debris on Railway Shoulder to prevent it from affecting the stability of drainage and road shoulder.
Smooth drainage: Ensure that the drainage system of Railway Shoulder is unimpeded, and clean the drainage ditches and drainage holes in time to prevent damage to the roadbed caused by water.
2. Check and maintain
Structural inspection: Check the structure of Railway Shoulder regularly, including whether its width, height, slope, etc., meet the design requirements, and whether there are cracks, settlement and other damage phenomena.
Repair damage: For the damaged parts found in the inspection, repair should be carried out in time, such as filling cracks, strengthening slopes, etc., to prevent further expansion of damage.
3. Vegetation management
Controlling vegetation growth: Planting the right amount of vegetation on Railway Shoulder helps to stabilize the roadbed and beautify the environment, but too much vegetation growth will affect the stability of drainage and road shoulder. Therefore, it is necessary to regularly prune vegetation to control its growth range and height.
Prevent plant root erosion: The roots of some plants may erode the subgrade soil, causing the subgrade to loosen and settle. Therefore, when selecting vegetation types, plants with developed roots and easy erosion of soil should be avoided.
4. Maintain the drainage system
Clean drainage facilities: regularly clean drainage facilities such as drains and drainage holes to prevent them from being blocked and affecting the drainage effect.
Check the drainage system: check the integrity and function of the drainage system is normal, and repair it in time if there is damage or function loss.
5. Slope reinforcement
Slope reinforcement: For slopes that are prone to landslide or collapse, reinforcement measures should be taken, such as setting retaining walls, laying anchor rods, etc., to improve the stability of the slope.
Regular inspection: Regular inspection of the reinforced slope to ensure its stability and safety.
