Third Rail Coverboards and Tie Extensions

Composite FRP Coverboards

Third rail coverboards and tie extensions are designed to protect personnel from the rail that is “live” or may contain stray currents.  They are made of lightweight, high performance pultruded composites that will allow personnel and riders to exit safely in case of an emergency.  FRP composite coverboards are custom designed and tested to meet the stringent requirements of the transit agencies.

FRP composite coverboard benefits include:

• Electrically insulative
• High strength and bending stiffness
• Lightweight for easy installation
• UV stable
• Corrosion resistant
• Maintenance free
• Fire resistant and self-extinguishing
