Koppers' Crosstie Lifecycle Management Program

摘要

Koppers offers the Crosstie Lifecycle Management Program as the environmentally responsible solution for the entire lifecycle of cross-ties. From raw timber and dual pressure treatment of new crossties to scrap tie collection, transportation and recycling, this program will optimize your crosstie performance, risk management and environmental compliance with effective cost control. Koppers implements environmentally responsible timber processing and dual pressure treating to maximize the performance of your crosstie investment. The patented Tru-Cor dual treatment process ensures accurate, measurable and repeatable preservative retention levels of borate and creosote to meet your exact specifications for every decay zone ... every time. After years of superior performance, crossties must be replaced and the scrap crossties disposed of in accordance with environmental regulations. Koppers' Lifecycle Management Program provides timely collection and transportation of scrap ties to reduce liability, safety, and environmental risks of stockpiling scrap ties. Scrap ties are delivered to the processing facility for energy recycling as a fuel source. This provides cost control since energy recycling typically costs less than disposal in landfills. To meet environmental regulatory compliance, the entire recycling/fuel processing procedure is documented and submitted in proper report format.
