Heavy Haul Concrete Ties

Concrete ties are the gold standard for the most demanding conditions of railroading.

Features and benefits

  • Provide the lowest total lifecycle cost by maximizing asset life and minimizing ongoing maintenance costs.
  • Deliver improvements in track stiffness, minimize ballast degradation, and increase fuel economy of the rolling stock based on minimization of rail deflection.
  • Embedded elastic fastener systems are a reliable choice, providing added resilience, gauge holding, safety, and durability.

Technical considerations

  • For over 60 years, concrete ties have proven their capacity on the heaviest, fastest, and most demanding railroads in the world.
  • Safelok 1 and 3, SKL, and e-Clip elastic fastener systems are available according to the operator’s necessities and preferences.
  • All concrete ties are tested to surpass AREMA MRE Chapter 30 guidelines.
  • Produced to the highest standards at manufacturing plants certified with ISO 9001, ISO 45001, ISO 14001, PCI, and AAR M-1003 quality, safety, and environmental standards.
  • Our concrete ties have over 30 years of proven field experience in North America, connecting the complete supply chain and economy to the people.
