Wood Sleepers

Noural supplies Railway wooden sleepers that perform a number of important functions, including:

• Supporting the rails: Railway wooden sleepers are the primary support for the rails on a railway track. They distribute the weight of trains evenly across the trackbed and help to prevent the rails from sinking or spreading.

• Spacing the rails: Railway wooden sleepers also help to space the rails to the correct gauge. The gauge is the distance between the two rails on a railway track. It is important to maintain the correct gauge to ensure that trains can run safely and smoothly.

• Absorbing shock and vibration: Railway wooden sleepers absorb the shock and vibration from trains passing overhead. This helps to reduce wear and tear on the track and improve ride quality for passengers and freight.

• Insulating the rails: Railway wooden sleepers are good insulators and can help to reduce noise and vibration. This is especially important in urban areas where railway lines run close to residential and commercial buildings.

Railway wooden sleepers are a vital component of railway tracks. They play a key role in ensuring the safety and reliability of rail transportation.

In addition to the above functions, railway wooden sleepers also:

• Help to maintain the alignment of the track

• Prevent the track from buckling due to heat expansion

• Provide drainage for the trackbed

• Help to reduce weeds and other vegetation from growing on the trackbed

Railway wooden sleepers are typically treated with preservatives to further extend their lifespan.

Railway wooden sleepers are an essential part of railway infrastructure. They play a vital role in ensuring the safety and reliability of rail transportation.
