The following paragraph will have a short glance at these activities:
1) Sleeper manufacturing The produced sleepers are generally of 2 wooden and concrete types. These sleepers have different types and species, among which the followings are important: 1.1. Ordinary concrete sleeper: pre-stressed sleepers, types B58 and B70, which are manufactured with various fasteners (clips) such as Vossloh, Pandrol and K, according to the requirements of clients. In addition to its capability to manufacture different types of sleepers, this company could also produce pre-cast concrete with various types of cement, and different concrete products based on the clients' needs. 1.2. Switch concrete sleeper: it is usually used for turnouts, which since long time ago the wooden types have been applied within the rail network of Iran.
