• Long service life. With the characteristic of water resistant, sun resistant and corrosion resistant, concrete sleeper has a longer service life than wooden sleeper.
• Better withstand fire hazards. Concrete sleeper can withstand fire hazards better than wooden sleeper.
• Good insulation. Due to the material of concrete sleeper is composed of cement, sand, stone, etc, it has very good insulation. Thus it suitable for use in track circuited lines.
