CROSSING "FLOATS" ON CONCRETE TIES

Florida East Coast Railway recently installed a Fab-Ra-Cast precast-concrete Slab system at a grade crossing. The System, modular in concept, permits one-day installation and consists of 8-ft. sections, supported by bags of quick-setting grout sandwiched between the ties and the slab for a flotation effect.
