Over haul Your Rail Platforms with Creative Composites Group
Traditionally, agencies have used concrete, wood and steel to build rail platform decking, but all these materials degrade in response to different threats. These factors have encouraged rail platform operators to turn to fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) composite decking material: a lightweight, durable solution that resists corrosion and wear, and holds up well against weather extremes, ice buildup and deicing chemicals.
In this eBook, Riding the Rails with FRP, we explore a few of the most prevalent uses of FRP in rail platform design, as well as how it can be an excellent solution for problematic weather extremes, ice buildup, deicing chemicals and corrosion. FRP also minimizes impact on train schedules. Topics include:
- Why use FRP for rail platforms?
- Platform panel design requirements
- Platform features and specs
