Prestressed Concrete Railway Sleepers (Ties)
Prestressed/pretensioned concrete sleepers that hold rails to gauge and transfer load to ballast — the dominant sleeper type for new high-speed and heavy-haul track (replacing creosote-treated timber). Heavy and low-value-to-weight, so production is regional/near-network. Vossloh (incl. its 2023 Sateba acquisition) is Europe’s largest maker.
