Composite Sleepers
C
The EcoRailJ
GPT is a stronger, cost-effective, environmentally-friendly alternative
to wood ties
A proprietary mix of premium recycled HDPE and other engineered
composites creates a stronger, longer-lasting, cost-effective
and environmentally-friendly alternative to wood sleepers. Our
EcoRailJ GPT Composite Railroad Tie is
designed to last 50 years. This design is already in place in
some of the largest transits and railroads in the world, including
New Jersey, Chicago, New Orleans, New York City and many more.
Our composite ties are flow-molded to eliminate voids. Our tight-knit
production process, combined with 70 years of experience in the
railroad industry, translates into superior quality. This means
less time and money spent on inspecting, replacing, and maintaining
the cross ties. By eliminating worries about shake, split, knots,
decay and other problems, more resources can be applied elsewhere.
Our Composite Sleepers can be smooth or textured like wood. We
can fabricate the tie to your specification, including built-in
rail seats, pre-drilled pilot holes, dimples to allow gripping
of the ballast and more.
The environmental benefits of the composite tie are enormous!
The composites are naturally impervious to moisture, decay, insects
and many other factors, and therefore do not require hazardous
chemicals to treat them. Wood is a limited resource, whereas
plastics are not.
We are not just a plastics manufacturer, we know railroads! Longer-lasting,
reduced vibration, reduced maintenance, no hazardous chemicals,
no decay or insect problems, environmentally beneficial, no quality
issues. We kept all the great things about wood and left the
bad things behind!
Physical properties and literature are available upon request.
Geomembranes C
Stray current isolation and
chemical containment
The EcoRailJ
Geomembrane is made
with Dupont Elvaloy7 and is designed to outline the
trackwork underground and provide a layer of protection against
stray current and chemical penetration.
We have supplied the Geomembrane to Phoenix Light Valley Metro.
It is also in place in Portland's Light Rail system and various
landfills and potable water sites.
The Geomembrane has a nylon-reinforced coating with great anti-permeability
properties. It is in service in hot and cold climates. This highly-engineered
polymer membrane is top-of-the-line and has been tested by the
top independent laboratories in the USA.
Physical properties and samples are available upon request.
HDPE C
High Density Polyethylene Plastic
Track Components
High Density Plastic offers great compression and abrasion resistance.
Our HDPE shims come in natural and black. We produce standard
HDPE shims as well as our recycled EcoRailJ
Shim. These are often used in leveling track during construction
and are a very cost effective alternative to steel shims. These
are great for installing between steel and concrete to reduce
abrasion, vibration and noise. We can custom fabricate your HDPE
part.
Samples and physical properties are available upon request.
UHMW (Ultra High Molecular Weight) plastics are also available.
Masticated Rubber Tie
Pads C
EcoRailJ
Tie-Saver Masticated Tie Pad is designed to prevent the tie plate
from cutting into the tie
Our Masticated Tie Pad, the EcoRailJ Tie-Saver, is made with premium
recycled rubber and reinforced with randomly-dispersed nylon
fabric. With an average tensile strength of over 1,000 psi, the
EcoRailJ Tie-Saver is the most durable
rubber tie pad on the market. Our Masticated Rubber Tie Pad --
or sleeper pad -- also disperses vibration and shock.
Physical properties and samples are available upon request.
Noise and Vibration
Control C
Rubber Rail Seats, Tie Pads,
Abrasion Plates and more
We design and manufacture various rubber and plastic components,
which reduce noise, shock and vibration. Our most popular products
include: Rubber Rail Seats, Masticated Sleeper and Under-Sleeper
Pads, Ballast Mat, Rubber Tie Plates, Rail Pads, Rail Boots and
more.
