AT A GLANCE

Two turnouts had to be replaced for the metro in Cagliari in 2024. Due to their long service life of up to 50 years and rapid availability, the company decided to equip the turnouts with STRAILway 30 polymer sleepers. The sustainable sleepers made from secondary raw materials are specially designed for local transport.
The STRAILway 30 sleepers were installed by the construction company Zanolla Srl. Engineer Alessandro Zanolla, Managing Director at Zanolla Srl, confirmed the ease of use of the STRAILway polymer sleeper: ‘We were extremely satisfied with how easy it was to process the sleeper directly on site using standard tools. This enabled us to complete the switches quickly.’
