What We Do?

TieBam is revolutionizing the railroad track industry with the development of a patent-approved process which densifies bamboo to provide an eco-friendly and cost-effective alternative to traditional wood or concrete railroad ties. Because of its fast growth, distinctive mechanical properties, and transformation process, bamboo is stronger, more durable, longer lasting, and more environmentally-friendly than wood ties.

The Process

1HARVEST

As the fastest-growing plant on earth, bamboo is harvested within three years without damage to the plant or the surrounding ecosystem.
