Comprehensive asphalt paving and repair works for railway level crossings

About the Company

Since 2010, Prombudkoliya has been carrying out comprehensive asphalt paving and repair works for railway level crossings on mainline and industrial railways. We restore crossing decks, repair roadway surfaces, replace track elements, and equip adjacent infrastructure in full compliance with Ukrzaliznytsia regulations and DBN V.2.3-19.

Our specialists ensure safe vehicle passage, long service life of the crossing deck, and stable track geometry during train movements.

Purpose and Objectives of Crossing Repairs

Railway level crossings are high-load, high-responsibility zones where an optimal balance of track strength and road surface smoothness is required. Repair and asphalt paving improve traffic safety, reduce track wear, and enhance driving comfort for road vehicles.

Main Types of Work

Asphalt Paving of Level Crossings

Construction of new asphalt concrete pavement within the railway crossing area and on adjacent road sections. Hot-mix and mastic asphalt with increased resistance to dynamic loads and temperature fluctuations are used.

• Removal of the old pavement and base cleaning
• Grading and compaction of the base
• Laying asphalt concrete layers of varying thickness
• Surface leveling at the interface with the crossing deck
• Quality control of surface evenness and compaction

Repair of Railway Crossing Decks

Replacement of worn deck elements (timber, rubber, reinforced concrete slabs), restoration of the track structure, and track adjustment. Modern materials with anti-vibration and noise-reduction properties are applied.

• Dismantling of the old deck and fasteners
• Installation of new reinforced concrete or rubber modular slabs
• Rail alignment by level and gauge
• Installation of rail anchors and fastening elements
• Joint filling and seam sealing

Track Repair and Adjustment in the Crossing Area

Tamping and alignment of the track, restoration of the ballast layer, replacement of sleepers and fastenings, and elimination of settlements. Works are carried out using track machinery and geodetic control.

Improvement of Adjacent Roadway Areas

After deck repair, adjacent approaches are asphalted, curbs, drainage trays, and road signs are installed. If required, signaling devices and lighting are mounted.

Repair of Drainage and Water Management Systems

To prevent moisture accumulation and pavement deterioration, drainage ditches and pipelines are cleaned and restored, and slopes for water runoff are arranged.

Work Execution Stages

1. Technical inspection of the level crossing
2. Development of a repair design and coordination with Ukrzaliznytsia
3. Dismantling of the old deck and base preparation
4. Track repair and installation of a new deck
5. Asphalt paving of adjacent roadway areas
6. Quality control and commissioning

Drainage system renewal, deck replacement, and roadway asphalt paving were completed. A positive acceptance report was issued by the Ukrzaliznytsia commission.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it possible to perform repairs without stopping traffic?

Yes, some works (approach asphalt paving, track alignment) are carried out during technological windows with temporary traffic restrictions, without a complete shutdown.

Which type of deck is recommended?

For mainlines—reinforced concrete or combined rubber modular decks. For industrial crossings—rubber modules or heavy-duty reinforced concrete slabs.

How often is crossing repair required?

Planned repairs are recommended every 5–7 years, depending on traffic intensity and pavement condition.

Can asphalt paving of adjacent roads be included in the project?

Yes, Prombudkoliya provides asphalt paving of approaches, lay-bys, and adjacent sections as part of a comprehensive crossing repair.
