What Are Timber Rails?

Timber rails are rectangular flat-edge wood panels often used to build fences and railways. Timber is a popular choice for construction thanks to its natural strength, durability, and low maintenance. In railway construction, timber rails are typically used to build railway tracks. Timber rails also play a role in geohazard mitigation, particularly slope stabilization.

What Are the Different Types of Timber Rails?

Timber rails vary according to their use. The most common types used in geohazard mitigation are:

  • Vertical Timber Rails: These rails are placed on the ground to serve as retaining walls during erosions. They hold back soil and rock and minimize the risk of slope failure.
  • Horizontal Timber Rails: These rails are installed along slopes for support. They also help prevent soil erosion and landslides caused by liquefaction.
  • Timber Piles: These long timber panels are driven into the ground for slope stabilization and structural support.
  • Pressure-treated Timber Rails: These chemically treated wood panels resist rotting and warping, making them suitable for heavy-duty commercial and industrial use.
