Composite Rail Ties | Due Care Testing

In addition to QC and standard testing, IntegriCo Composites has implemented a series of due care tests to simulate potential extreme handling and installation conditions.

Tie Drop
Simulation of worst case scenario for tie being dropped during unloading from a gondola car and landing across another tie.

Maintenance Equipment Handling
High Stresses are sometimes developed when a tie is being installed in a maintenance environment.

Cold Weather Spiking
Tie spiking at 0ºF (-17.7ºC) with a standard 5/8" cut spike and no pilot hole.

Applications

IntegriCo Composites' ties provide benefits for all major rail tie applications from the extreme loading conditions of a class I heavy axle load applications to the caustic environment of an industrial chemical processing plant. Key benefits are listed below.
