[@executivecivil297]

Thanks for watching

[@g2macs]

did you notice that because they pretension the re-bar all in one long stretch, once cured they must cut the bar at each sleeper end to free it. If you watch them laying the sleepers you can see each end has been dipped to prevent the re-bar corroding.

[@shedasaurus]

Well spotted. Not sure how long it would take before the coating wears off and the concrete cancer starts

[@PrabhavShukla1]

Intresting observation. Maybe they made a trade-off between the expected lifespan vs increased complexity in production. As it is, this is going to be a freight only line carrying heavy axel traffic, thus designed with high maintenance/replacement probability. Good catch tho !

[@intolerance9677]

At our factory we use 3.5mm high tensile wire, 18 wires in each sleeper, with 6 sleepers across each mould. We “stress” them which is basically pre tensioning.. we stretch them about 1 metre give or take, usually about 31mpa. Once the concrete has cured, we “de-stress” them, and then we cut them at the face of the sleeper with a 7” angle grinder, then cut between every mould with a saw machine very similar to theirs.

[@JazzFunkNobby1964]

Europe's high speed rail needs their sleepers to come from somewhere. The US rail system is too backwards to use concrete sleeper ties as of yet. I'm sure the US makes up for it with other deafening and dangerous third world Manufacturing of course, but as the crow flies it all part of a cyclical system where core counties keep periphery counties poor to use their labor and resources cheap for their their increased consumption. If you live in the west or the first world, you cannot talk as you willingly participate in the system.

[@spencerwilton5831]

Eric Christian Europe doesn't import sleepers. Concrete products are almost always made in the country of use, they are relatively low value but bulky and very heavy so it doesn't make sense to transport them significant distances.

You could have tried to explain what the processes are.! like, what's the long tubular machine doing with the metal rods etc.

The wire is high tension cable and the metal tube is a hydrologic jack that takes the slack out of the cable before they put the required high tension into the wire so when the concrete sets around the wire the sleeper has incredible tensile strength

Just to be sarcastic, If you pay close attention to where you put your feet, you could do the job in flip flops. The purpose of safety shoes is to protect people who either don't know what they are doing or don't care.

[@muddyfeet1000]

bitsnpieces11 Rubbihs!!!!!

[@bitsnpieces11]

Sal: Very true. I was speaking about people who work without all of our safety equipment just to remain alive. They are acutely aware of their situation and step off a bit when they notice things are not going exactly as they should. Think about a surgeon doing a high risk surgery lasting many hours, do they make mistakes and kill people, yes, but how often and the good ones will take a break every so often and pay special attention to how they are doing. My comment was aimed at those who assume they can be sloppy and lazy in their job and the safety equipment will protect them or they can blame someone else if they are injured. Now the flip flops comment was meant to say you could, say, kill an elephant naked and barefoot if you go about it in the right way. People do that to this day, ex: pygmies in Africa. There is no 'safety officer' in the world who can protect you from your own stupidity, you will injure yourself at some point if you ignore common sense measures and depend on God to save you. Sure you have to be intimately aware of what's going on and be willing to slow down or stop if needed. You can't just keep pushing and trust to the universe to protect you. Safety equipment allows you to have a less skilled person doing a job at a lower pay thus more profit for you. Thus required level of training for an over the road truck driver, surgeon, bomber pilot, etc.

Years ago {probably fifty} I read that European railways were experimenting with concrete sleepers. However, the USA thought they didn't last as long nor serve as well as wood, which is still being used here. Why? Which is better?

[@cliftondean4333]

@Demo Probably there have been many improvements in the manufacture since I read about them. The disadvantages, I believe, included concrete spalling and failing as trains caused small movements in the fixtures attaching to the sleepers. Concrete not being as flexible as wood, the connections failed much faster than the wooden sleepers and causing rails to move leading to serious failures. How come the USA has not been as receptive to concrete as Europe? (I will check Google.)

@Prranjal Shrivaastav This is not news to me, thank you, though. This can be observed in virtually any video of how things are accomplished in India. The wage rate is comparable to rural Mexico. Not only are things less expensive in India, but the actual standard of living is considered a lot lower than elsewhere in the world. For example, an abject lack of latrines, affecting the function of most basic human sanitation has been mentioned even by Indian leaders as affecting society and its growth. Thank you for your input though Prranjal Shrivaastav.

[@CuriousEarthMan]

@Prranjal Shrivaastav my original comment meant: that factory runs how it does because lots of workers are available at a relatively low rate of wage, and they need jobs, and that happens to result in a degree of automation that reflects those conditions. I think you can understand that part. When you try to argue that living costs create the difference, you leave out the key fact that living STANDARDS as well as costs make the difference. I tried to make that crystal clear to you. Your response was blaming others, and bogus threats. Perhaps you want to think about your standards tomorrow when you are squatting with your neighbors down at the railroad tracks.
