The GPT composite tie by ITS Inc. is designed to provide a long-lasting, environmentally benefical alternative to wood ties. All of the rejection-worthy characteristics of wood such as decay, splits, shake, etc. have been eliminated while maintaining all of the positive aspects of wood like friction and strength, the company says. Designed for use in light rail, transit and Class I freight lines, the GPT composite tie reduces maintenance-of-way costs as it is impervious to many hazardous elements, the company says. The tie is useful in harsh climates or can be used anwyere. It is available in custom sizes and shapes.
