While numbers vary depending on construction type and track infrastructure (ballastless tracks are generally more suitable to infrastructures that are also made of concrete, as is the case in tunnels or on viaducts), the Deutsche Bahn estimated in 2015 that construction costs of ballastless tracks are in many cases 28 percent higher than those ...
Ride on power trowels range in size from 1.8 m (6 ft) machines weighing 270–320 kg (600–700 lb), up to 3.7 m (12 ft) machines weighing over 910 kg (2,000 lb). Power ranges from small 10 kW (13 hp) single cylinder engines, all the way up to 70 kW (100 hp) multi fuel V8 engines.

Water reducers offer several advantages in their use, listed below: reduces the water content by 5-10%; decreases the concrete porosity; increases the concrete strength by up to 25% (as less water is required for the concrete mixture to remain workable) increases the workability (assuming the amount of free water remains constant)
