Over a year ago, it started with our engineers designing the right gauge tie for the specifications and putting in a bid for the job. In 2011, we were awarded a contract to manufacture the leveling gauge ties for the new light rail train for the cities of Minneapolis and St Paul in Minnesota. The gauge tie is a great fit for the metal fabrication equipment we have at Astro. The metal used is carbon steel and fabrication for the tie involves shearing, punching, forming, welding, and assembly. The purpose of the gauge tie is to hold the rails of the train in place before the concrete gets poured. We'll be making about 10,000 pieces for this order.
