Pre-stressed concrete railway sleepers and crossing bearers

Introduction/application
Concrete railway sleepers used in high-speed main-line track applications. Crossing bearers are for railway line interchanges.

Quality and standards
All concrete railway sleepers and crossing bearers are produced to Network Rail specification. BSI accredited ISO9002 quality assurance and Link-Up accreditation. Products are rigorously tested in a state-of-the-art on-site laboratory.

Features/advantages
All concrete railway sleepers and crossing bearers are made to exceptionally high specification. Alterations in design can be accommodated for individual customer’s requirements. Consistent quality over other types of railway sleepers/crossing bearers. Very durable and have a longer ‘life’ than wood or steel. Better ‘whole life’ costings.

Complementary products/additional information
Due to their nature of application every crossing bearer needs to be made to measure. Specialist drilling apparatus is used for this at the rail product factory at Washwood Heath in Birmingham.

Other rail related products also available – cable troughing, level crossing panels and track ballast.

Availabilty
Ex-stock on all concrete railway sleeper types. We offer same day delivery and a 24-hour emergency service.

Stepsafe
Our Stepsafe modular platform system is an innovative means of building or extending railway platforms. It is a pre-cast concrete modular cantilever platform system comprising crosshead units installed onto site-specific foundations. These support longitudinal beams which in turn support the deck units.
