TieSense
TieSense revolutionizes tie management for railroads, offering a sustainable solution to minimize the disposal of scrap ties. Our process involves meticulous grading and sorting of ties, identifying and extracting those suitable for repair. Typically, this approach results in a remarkable 30% reduction in scrap ties. The salvaged ties undergo our patented repair process, transforming them into high-quality Industrial Grade ties fit for reuse in yards, sidings, or industry tracks.
Moreover, TieSense goes the extra mile by addressing ties classified as kind 3 or lower in quality, further slashing scrap by an additional 30 to 40 percent. By rehabilitating and repurposing ties, our service not only curtails new tie purchases by up to 30%, but also contributes to the conservation of forests by reducing the need for fresh tie production. With TieSense, railroads embrace sustainability while optimizing their tie management practices for a greener, more efficient future.
