Tranz Rail accepts this recommendation.
Tranz Rail document CSP61 “Classification and Use of Second Hand Track Materials” contains guidelines for determining the suitability of timber sleepers for reuse.
These same guidelines can be applied to sleepers in track. To further support these guidelines a photographic Asset condition Assessment Guide is being developed for sleepers and other assets.
