Composites stair tread covers for rail operators

Strongwell provides molded fiberglass reinforced plastic stair tread covers for Baltimore rail stations renovation project.

Located in Baltimore, Maryland, the eighth busiest rail station in the United States needed a quick, drop-in solution for its stair renovation project. Strongwell’s Duratread FRP stair tread covers offer a minimalistic yet durable design with rapid and simple installation to minimize disruption to facilities.

This particular train station provides regional service in the northeast corridor to three major rail services, transporting almost 90,000 monthly passengers through 10 different train lines with a forecast of increased ridership. Originally built in 1911 and rebuilt in 1984, the main stairs at this station have been a victim to age, heavy constant exposure to pedestrian traffic, shovels and salt compounds. These factors all contributed to and accelerated the wear of the over 70 concrete steps.
