Choosing the right type of sleeper will help you save on
money and hassle. Here are the advantages of using wooden sleepers over
concrete.
ü
Cost cutting
The price of raw wooden sleepers and the maintenance costs
are a lot cheaper compared to concrete. Hence, you can save a lot of money if
you choose the former.
ü
Transportation
Concrete is about three times the weight of wooden railway
sleepers. This proves that transferring wooden railway sleepers from one place
to another is easier compared to concrete. While in transit, railway sleepers
are likely to bear hits and knocks. Wood is good at withstanding surface
damage.
ü
Ease of
installation
Since wood is lighter in weight compared to concrete, wood
is easier to handle and install. Sleepers require less installation time and
also required less supervision for maintenance.
ü
Availability
Wooden railway sleepers are easier to produce and have a
higher supply rate compared to concrete. Readily available from Railway Sleeper
UK, please visit our website for

ü
Low
sensibility to shock
Concrete sleepers have been proven to be sensitive to shock.
They need to be replaced immediately they suffer any damage, leading to further
costs. As for wood, this tends to absorb the blow and remains intact. Wood
doesn’t break easily.
