s have been installed by and are performing at various Class I, mass transit and short line locations. They
are designed to take modern wheel loads into consideration and to hold rails securely.
These premium crossties feature:
- Excellent strength and stiffness properties and retention
- High average, ultimate and rail seat compressive strength and modulus of elasticity value
- Excellent surface hardness values
- No surface checking or other defects
- Minimal deformation under load
- Better performance with regard to screw spike withdrawal properties after aging
- Longevity and low maintenance even in extreme weather conditions
s:
- Have an extremely competitive life cycle
- Can be installed interchangeably with wood ties along the same track
- Can be installed using conventional equipment
- Are identical in size, weight, dimensions and overall quality
- Last longer and retain properties longer than wood ties
- Are made from 100% recycled materials
- Do not require the use of toxic preservatives
- Do not present any hazardous storage, installation or removal conditions
- Have no hidden future disposal costs
ties can be made in any required length for use in turnouts. Their longevity makes
them more suitable for use in difficult to access locations like bridges and tunnels.
s crossties have been featured in Railway Track and Structures, Railway Age, and the
New Jersey Commission on Science and Technology’s Science & Technology News.
