Ballasted Track Sleepers
Ballasted Track Sleepers

Precast concrete sleepers have an extremely good longitudinal and lateral resistance in the ballast.

Sleepers for use with ballasted track can be supplied as monoblock or a twin block lighter version. Both can be used with High Speed and Light Rapid Transit (LRT) track.

  • A world high speed train record (574.8km/hr) was set on SATEBA sleepers, which was on ballasted track.
  • Twin block sleepers are the sleeper of choice for LRT projects since they are light weight and easy to install.
  • Sleepers can be produced to suit the project specification to optimise costs and performance for a variety of rail and fastening types.
  • Innovative solutions are available, such as under sleeper pads to reduce ballast wear and ballast thickness.

Key ballasted track projects SATEBA UK supplied include:

  • HS1 (Channel Tunnel Rail Link)
  • NET 1 & 2 (Nottingham Express Transit)
