  1. ENGINEERED COMPOSITE RAILROAD TIES

  2. The Economical Future of Structural Design • Technology • Infrastructure • Green!

  3. Rail Ties Patent-Protected Engineered Composite Technology Made from 100% Recycled Materials No Toxic Preservatives Non-Porous- will not rot or absorb moisture Non-Corrosive Does not Conduct Electricity Long Lasting Standard installation techniques Fire Retardants available

  4. Approximately 1.5 Billion Gross Tons at AAR Test Track Pueblo, Colorado Over 200,000 Axion Formula Ties installed in-line

  5. Up to Ten Years In-Line ServicePerformance

  6. Elevated Track

  7. Bridge Timbers

  8. Switch Sets

  9. Economics: RR Ties Standard Turnout Bridge Timbers Standard Ties

  10. Long Term Economics: RR Ties Cost (Per Mile)

  11. Cost Comparison Versus Wood Ties • The cost of installation of wood and Axion ties is identical • AXION TIES PAY FOR THEMSELVES IN ONE REPLACEMENT CYCLE • The performance of Axion Ties remains consistent across all environments • Axion Ties are most cost effective in areas of severe climate stresses- high moisture, rain, insect infestation • Increased disposal costs for creosote-treated ties make Axion Ties more cost efficient (Axion Ties can be recycled at the end of their useful life) • Positive greenhouse gas impact could lead to carbon credits
