Description :

Timber rehabilitation remains an on-going issue on the railway. Older methods such as plug or screw inserts have a limited ability to hold baseplates, and moving timbers laterally to give baseplates ‘virgin’ wood for fixing is a difficult and time-consuming task.
SpikeFast is a simpler and stronger alternative. Under test conditions it has been found to be as strong or stronger than normal wood. See the table below for details.

ET-75 is the most popular and useful material. It is a thick material which is best used for filling existing spike and coachscrew holes where the timber is generally in good condition.
