The Environmental Choice for Track Systems
Douglas fir and ACZA is a match made for heavy duty applications. The strength and resilience of Douglas fir, combined with the long-term protection of ACZA preservative, yield a construction material that has been providing reliable service for decades--in utility poles, building poles, foundation piling, bridge girders, guardrail posts, and other demanding applications.
These attributes, plus advantageous environmental and handling features, make ACZA-treated Douglas fir an exceptional choice for shortline crossties. They are also economical; Douglas fir is a readily available species grown on managed timberlands in western states.
