Abstract

High-quality railway sleepers are capable of withstanding environmental impacts such as weather conditions and the attack by wood destroying organisms, providing long service life. However, poorquality railway sleepers, due to their shorter lifespan, can lead to early failures and jeopardize safe railway traffic. Creosote, applied to enhance durability, is harmful to the environment and human health. Research worldwide seeks alternatives, emerging not only from new preservatives but also from manufacturing technology. One possible solution is the application of Fürstenberg-System Sleeper®, offering alternatives to currently used sleepers, from machining processes that promote drying, to new wood preservatives, to species-specific impregnation processes.
