Concrete Platform Railroad Crossings - An Overview
Solid concrete 'platform' style rail road crossings with TEN YEAR warranty! This type of RR crossing transfers 100% load bearing to the road base as compared to typical wood tie crossings that permit at best 50% weight bearing transfer from the wood ties that will eventually fail.
Over 150 platform railroad crossings have been installed in Florida over the past ten years. SNT has installations of this type in active rail lines that are still performing well up to 20 years later! SNT also currently has a two-year contract with CSX to install platform railroad crossings on CSX lines.
