Main-line sleeper
2600 × 260 × 160 mm.
A direct replacement for the timber sleeper.
Composite railway sleeper
A service life
beyond fifty years
Trains run over Rerawa sleepers every day, on tracks already in revenue service.
A timber sleeper lasts fifteen years.
Timber sleepers are produced with creosote — a carcinogen whose use is restricted across the EU.
Recycling a timber sleeper is limited and difficult.
For timber sleepers, that cycle repeats roughly every fifteen years.
Material
Turning plastic waste into railway track, through Rerawa engineering
Plastic waste that would otherwise pollute becomes a sleeper built for more than fifty years of service. Close to timber in weight, Rerawa composite sleepers can be drilled and worked during installation, and coach-screw holes can be repaired with a compatible compound.

The same dimensions, the same fastening —
a longer life than timber
A timber sleeper and a Rerawa composite sleeper on the same track. Cracking and fibre separation on the timber; surface integrity on the composite.
Range
Three sleeper
series
Separate sections for running line, turnout and bridge. Dimensions can be adapted to the project.
RW-200 series
Turnout sleeper
For turnouts and diverging track where a longer sleeper is required.
Rerawa manufactures turnout sleepers up to six metres in its own plant.
Bridge sleeper
2600 × 260 × 280 mm.
Produced for bridges and viaducts.
If the project falls outside Rerawa’s three series, dimensions and other product characteristics are developed to the specification.
