TieTek versus alternative crosstie materials

TieTek composite crossties have more longevity, better spike-hold, and superior performance to other tie technologies.

TieTek composite ties are significantly more durable than wood. They are more resistant to plate cutting, improve lateral strength, demonstrate better long-term spike-hold, and show minimal variation in rail gage after over 1.5 billion gross tons of heavy axle traffic.

TieTek ties show the same total track stiffness as wood ties - the total track modulus is the same. TieTek ties produce less surface vibration than other ties, producing 8db less vibration than wood, and 14db less than concrete.

Finally, TieTek composite crossties are easy to maintain. They do not require specialized installation or maintenance equipment, and can be completely intermixed with wood in operating environments. Using existing equipment and procedures, railroads can quickly and easily upgrade to TieTek composite ties, improving performance and driving down operating costs.

TieTek ties are more economical, safer, and easier on the rest of your equipment. They improve the performance and drive down the operating costs of your entire system.
