Frequently Asked Questions

Which rails are better — new or refurbished?

For main lines and intensive traffic, only new rails are used. For industrial sidings, refurbished rails may be applied provided they comply with Ukrzaliznytsia standards.

How often do sleepers need replacement?

The service life of reinforced concrete sleepers is 40–50 years, while wooden sleepers last 10–15 years depending on operating conditions and treatment quality.

Which fastening systems are used on industrial tracks?

The most common systems are clamp and bolted fastenings — KPP, KB, KD — ensuring reliable rail clamping and track stability.

Do you provide installation and track alignment services?
