Advantages Over Concrete Sleepers:
The key advantages of SuperSleeper™ over traditional concrete sleepers are numerous:

  3. Ease of Installation: The lightweight nature of SuperSleeper™ makes installation faster and easier. It eliminates the need for heavy machinery and two-man lifts, resulting in approximately 30 to 40% faster installation compared to traditional methods.
  4. Flexibility: SuperSleeper™ can be cut easily using common tools like a circular saw or grinder, allowing for precise customization to fit various project requirements.
