Application of Composite Railway Ties

Composite railway ties

Composite railway ties are made from continuous glass fiber-reinforced polyurethane foam material. They combine the characteristics of fiberglass composite materials and foam, while also incorporating the advantages of natural wood and plastics. For example, they have higher strength and greater modulus, making them suitable as structural materials. Additionally, they are lightweight, provide excellent thermal insulation, are resistant to chemical corrosion, offer electrical insulation, and exhibit strong aging resistance. Moreover, they possess wood-like properties, such as being capable of being nailed or riveted. GNEE Rail specializes in the production of various types of railway ties, including composite ties, concrete ties, wooden ties, and more. We focus on quality and ensure that our products meet international standards. Customization is available according to customer drawings. Please feel free to contact us.

Features of Composite Railway Ties

Corrosion Resistance: The ties are highly resistant to corrosion, ensuring long-lasting performance.

Durable Surface: The surface of the ties is resistant to peeling, maintaining their integrity over time.

Efficient Installation and Maintenance: On-site installation is simple, and maintenance efforts are significantly reduced, saving time and labor.

Precision: The ties help maintain consistent spacing and track geometry, ensuring accurate alignment.

High Quality: The track remains in excellent condition with minimal changes, contributing to stable and reliable railway performance.

Application of Composite Railway Ties

Composite railway ties are primarily used in special areas of high-speed railways and subways (such as switches, bridge tops, platforms, etc.), especially in locations where the use of concrete ties is restricted.

High-Speed Rail / Subway: These ties help absorb high-speed vibrations and impacts generated when vehicles pass over the tracks, thereby protecting the subgrade and railway ties.

Switch Tracks: They are used to cushion the high-speed vibrations and impacts caused by vehicles passing through switches, helping maintain the subgrade and railway ties.

Bridge Tops: Composite ties help mitigate high-speed vibrations and shocks when vehicles pass over bridges, ensuring the protection of the subgrade and railway ties.

Platforms: These ties absorb the vibrations and impacts from vehicles passing over the tracks, thereby safeguarding the subgrade and railway ties.
