EnviroRail looks to use mechanical concrete to change future of railroad maintenance.
EnviroRail
In late November, EnviroRail, a railroad service contractor located in Omaha, NE, made the first step in changing the future of railroad-maintenance construction by licensing Mechanical Concrete.
Mechanical Concrete’s patented, innovative process takes a cylinder made from the tread portion of used, waste auto/truck tires and fills the cylinder with same-size gravel. This reuse of the tires creates a solid, sustainable and greener way to make foundations, road bases and repairs. This new time-saving process is fueled by EnviroRail’s nationally exclusive contract for Mechanical Concrete to reuse waste semi-truck tires. Mechanical Concrete’s patent allows the use of cylinders to create roads that aren’t as costly to maintain and won’t break down as quickly as most previously constructed roads do.
