The railroad industry has long demanded more durable, sustainable, and reliable crosstie solutions to meet the challenges of heavy loads, harsh climates, and environmental scrutiny. UltraTie with DCOI is answering that call, offering a breakthrough in wood protection that combines cutting-edge chemistry with proven performance. As railroads modernize their infrastructure, UltraTie sets a new standard for resilience and sustainability.
Engineered for the Long Haul
Railroads require ties that can handle the temperature extremes, constant moisture cycles and heavy weights of locomotives, cargo and equipment. UltraTie’s treatment penetrates deep into the wood, protecting it against biological attack while preserving its structural integrity. By limiting cracking, warping, and premature decay, UltraTie prolongs service life equating to fewer tie replacements that translate to reduced maintenance costs and minimized service disruptions, all critical advantages for rail operators.
Sustainability in Motion
Environmental stewardship is a growing priority for the rail sector, and UltraTie is designed with that in mind. DCOI has a favorable environmental profile compared to many legacy preservatives, helping railroads meet stricter sustainability goals. With a reduced chemical footprint and long-lasting performance, UltraTie minimizes the need for replacement cycles, lowering both material consumption and disposal requirements. Railroads can reduce environmental impacts with the use of UltraTie with DCOI
Safety and Compliance First
UltraTie is manufactured to align with the American Wood Protection Association (AWPA) standards and is supported by decades of preservative testing data. DCOI has already gained acceptance in multiple wood applications, including utility poles and decking, making its proven safety record a cornerstone of UltraTie’s reliability. Railroad stakeholders can adopt this next-generation tie solution with confidence, knowing it delivers effective required protection and provides enhanced environmental benefits.
Future-Proofing Rail Infrastructure
As railroads plan for the decades ahead, UltraTie with DCOI represents a future-ready solution that balances performance, cost, and sustainability. It reflects a shift away from traditional chemistries and toward modern innovations that support both operational excellence and environmental stewardship.
UltraTie: Built to Last, Built for Tomorrow
With the combination of DCOI’s proven chemistry and Viance’s track record of innovation, UltraTie offers the next evolution in crosstie performance. Railroads now have access to a product that not only withstands the rigors of modern freight and passenger demands but also advances the industry’s commitment to safety and sustainability. Simply put, UltraTie with DCOI is built to last, built for tomorrow.
