Railway infrastructure in Odisha increasingly relies on high-quality precast concrete components to upgrade track reliability and safety across the state. Pre-stressed concrete sleepers (PSC) — precast, reinforced concrete ties — are laid transversely beneath rails, ensuring correct gauge and alignment while transferring loads evenly onto ballast, thereby providing firm support and long-term structural stability. 

These concrete sleepers offer many advantages over older timber or steel options: they resist decay, do not warp or rot, and are impervious to fire — giving them a life span well beyond 50 years with minimal maintenance.   The greater weight and rigidity of PSC sleepers enhance lateral and vertical stability, making the track better able to handle heavy loads and frequent train traffic.
