25 million railroad ties are replaced each year in North America by harvesting hardwood trees and soaking in poisonous creosote and borate.
As strong as wood, consistently manufactured, and delivering value for the engineered performance. Every tie, every time.
New approaches to drive speed and confidence into capital decision-making, for both long AND short term capital decisions.
25-million railroad ties are replaced each year in North America. Hardwood ties are failing in track at less than their economic life due to weather, wear, and insect infestation.
In the past, poor engineering, inconsistent feedstocks and manufacturing quality resulted in failure modes that could not be controlled. Industry lost faith in finding an alternative to wood…until now. A true composite that is beyond wood.
Long-term costs savings cannot be captured through increase in short-term investment. Future Total Cost of Ownership (TCOO) requires new modes of long-term, performance-based financing
MOR equivalent to hardwood; strong enough for the long haul on all North American freight and transit railroads
Manufactured with 100% recycled polyolefin plastic and fiberglass; the same tie a million times over
Installs with wood tie equipment; no special tooling; improves OR
Evertrak 7000 is the first composite tie for North American heavy haul and transit railroads made with glass fiber reinforced 100% recycled polyolefin plastic. Made to perform for decades of rail traffic in any environmental condition, Evertrak 7000 changes the paradigm for capital renewal of track by eliminating tie cycles. Evertrak 7000 is available now in lengths from 8’6” to 10′.
We left military service deeply grateful for our country and the opportunity that service gave us to form our character and career. We decided to create a company that reflects the values of our service. Most important to us is how we treat people – each other, our teammates, partners and even competitors.
We have each other’s back and fight for each other’s success. We know our individual position and play it. We believe in the Team, the Team, the Team.
We work hard and find a way to win. We always get back up and we never give up.
We are enthusiastic. We have a sense of urgency and a bias to action. We attack our responsibilities with energy, eagerness, and cheerfulness.
We are not satisfied with the status quo. We are a learning organization focused on continuous improvement. We seek to understand before seeking to be understood.
We are grateful for each other, Evertrak, and our customers. We recognize the worth of the individual and see the best in each other. We assume good intentions and believe each of us is more than the worst moments of our lives. We value the opinions and points of view of others. We work to earn the respect of all our stakeholders.
We behave with honesty, integrity, and candor in all that we do with all stakeholders. We face into reality. We don’t “report problems”, we fix them. We do not surprise others. We let our customers measure how good we are.
