CXT Gets Fastener Contract for Calgary Transit Expansion
Efficient installation using hydraulic clamp
CXT Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of L.B. Foster Co., has been awarded a contract by City of Calgary Light Rail Transit (LRT) to supply 14,500 CXT Concrete Ties and fastening systems to expand the system to the Northwest and Northeast of Calgary, Alberta.
CXT Concrete Ties began shipping for this project in June from L.B. Foster’s Spokane, WA facility and will complete delivery by November 2010.
CXT was also awarded a contract by general contractor SNC-Lavalin to supply 9,742 ties for use in the construction of Calgary’s LRT extension in the western area of the city. This new five mile transit line will travel from 69th Street SW to downtown.
Calgary has experienced a measurable life cycle cost advantage with CXT Concrete Ties, which are designed for durability, noted L.B. Foster design engineer Vince Petersen.
CXT has been been an approved supplier to Calgary’s light rail system since 1980. ©2010 GlobalFastenerNews.com
