In the early times of Indian Railway, wood was the only material of making the sleeper in world. With the development of concrete technology in the nineteenth century, cement concrete had established its place as a versatile building material and could be adopted suitably to meet the requirements of a railway sleeper. Concrete sleepers have been designed by the Research Design and Standard Organization (RDSO) wing of Indian Railway.

While concrete sleepers still have many disadvantages like heavy weight, difficult to transport and environment limits. They are not suitable for frozen earth, heavily polluted area and busy routes of mineral.
