Fiberglass Construction

Positive-Flow™ Track Collector Pan Systems are manufactured from highly corrosion resistant resins and fiberglass reinforcements that will hold up to most aggressive substances which would normally prove damaging and destructive to steel or concrete systems. Each resin is selected for the specific customer application. The CSI Railroad Track Collector Pan Systems are highly durable and is not affected by temperatures between -50ªF to +130ªF. Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic (FRP) is non-conductive and an excellent electrical insulator, important at curcuited signal operations. All system components can be easily repaired by unskilled labor with simple hand tools.

Flexiable Application

CSI Railroad Track Collector Pan Systems have proven highly effective in a variety of environments, i.e., organic elements, acids, alkalies and salts. FRP track pan systems are an excellent choice for severe services such as hydrochloric and sulfuric acids, sodium sulfide and sodium hydroxide. At pulp and paper plants, food and beverage manufacturers, chemical and pharmaceutical companies, the Positive-Flow™ system provides spill containment, protects car wash locations and contains grease and oil in rail standing and ready track areas.
