Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the several methods available to extend the life of wooden crossties and thus reduce the environmental and financial costs associated with their frequent replacement. Innovations such as pressure treatments with preservatives have been observed to extend the lifespan of crossties by years, leading to significant cost savings and less strain on forests. However, improper application of these treatments can reduce their effectiveness, so the author provides guidance on proper preparation procedures, the optimal time to harvest wood for ties, the different types of wood most suited for treatment and use as crossties, and how to best gauge the amount of preservative to use. With new crossties costing millions of dollars to purchase and install each year, this book has the potential to save railroad companies millions of dollars, while simultaneously reducing the rate at which forests are being felled. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781527880283_0
