Ineffective Status Quo
25 million railroad ties are replaced each year in North America by harvesting hardwood trees and soaking in poisonous creosote and borate.
The Solution
Evertrak 7000
As strong as wood, consistently manufactured, and delivering value for the engineered performance. Every tie, every time.
The Future
Business Model Innovations
New approaches to drive speed and confidence into capital decision-making, for both long AND short term capital decisions.
Solving a Problem That Runs 140,000 Miles Long
While we’ve advanced from paper to aluminum to carbon fiber to make airplanes, we still make railroad ties by chopping down trees. The only innovation in 150 years is treating ties with poisonous creosote.
1800s Technology at Work Today
No Change in the Status Quo
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.
Poor and Unproven Substitutes
Failed Innovation
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.
Capital Contraints
Total Cost of Ownership Advantage
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
