Galvanized Spring Steel E-Clip Fastenerswith insulators provide industry standard rail fastening on every Star Track system.

Embedded Pandrol Shouldersprovide fixed location for E-Clip fasteners.

Diamond Plate Surfaceprovides Anti-Skid surface for vehicles as well as Bike/Ped friendly crossing.

One-Piece Castingoffers the durabilty of reinforced 6000 PSI con-crete with NO bolting of concrete to concrete.

Grout Portsprovide easy access for mud/epoxy jacking without dis-assembling crossing surface.

Rubber Rail Groove Filleris compression fit providing easy access to the rail without dis-assembling crossing surface.

StarTrack Crossing ModuleNo Cross Ties or Ballast allows for quicker installation, resulting in cost competitive systems: no resurfacing required.

Abrasion Stripsmade of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene cushions concrete from rail impact.

Tank Car Spill Containment

For sites with tanker car spill containment requirements, we provide custom spill containment systems capable of holding over 33,000 gallons. Containment volume can be stored in line (between the rails) or offline (outside the rails), and collected as designed in spill storm water pollution prevention plans (SWPPP).

Applications

Heavy Duty Crossings

StarTrack HD Crossing Modules are the proven and preferred crossing of America’s largest ports and intermodal facilities. This is our solution to heavy traffic applications and areas with bad subgrade. HD crossings are 11’ wide, 16” thick and 5’ long. Custom pie-shaped pieces available to meet the curvature of the track.

Standard Crossings

Our Standard StarTrack is designed for Cooper E-80 Loading with 60% impact; a long lasting, maintenance free crossing surface for freight, commuter, and light rail applications. Standard crossings are 8’ wide x14” thick and are available in 3 lengths (5’, 7.5’, 17.5’). Custom pie-shaped pieces are available to meet the curvature of the track.

Vehicle Inspection Pits

Our vehicle/locomotive inspection pits provide safe access for inspections and are easily customized with lighting, electrical, and stepsvvvvv.

Drip Track

For sites requiring containment of drips and spills, our system provides a durable and permanent solution that can be combined with other systems for larger containment volumes. Standard size is 5’ long by 11’ wide.

Truck/Train Wash Bay

StarTrack systems can be customized to provide drainage to center line of track into a French drain, creating easily serviceable Truck/Train-wash stations. vvvvvvv

Rail Scale Approaches & Foundations

Most weigh-in-motion rail scales require concrete approaches and foundations for the weigh cell. We team with rail scale manufactures to provide modular precast track support systems to meet scale requirements, allowing projects to be installed quickly with no doubts on Quality Control.

Conveyor/Unloading Pits

Our custom built conveyor/unloading pits are engineered to meet AREMA Standards. Our systems install quickly with minimal QC required in the field, allowing conveying and track operations to begin soon after installation.

Modules designed for fast installation with 4 hook lift anchors embedded in each piece.Designed to meet AREMA standards and Cooper E-80 Loading plus 60% impact factor.Custom “pie-shaped” pieces to meet the curvature of the track.

StarTrack HD Modules are the proven and preferred crossing of America’s Largest Ports and Class I Intermodal Yards.Quick and easy project help by our national team with pricing and layouts.

Highly competitive installed and life-cycle costs.

Manufactured to the rigid standards of the Oldcastle Precast quality control programs at our facilities nationwide.Professional engineering staff and industry leading computer design software provide technical support and stamped drawings when required.In service with Class I RR’s and successfully tested on the Heavy Axle Load Loop (HAL) at the Transportation Technology Center in Pueblo, CO.Over 150,000 track feet installed without a single structural failure.
