Al-Burhan Group have arranged for an RMS consultant to visit the Abu Grahib sleeper factory in Baghdad. The 3 days visit had the purpose to inspect the existing machines and moulds in order to supply the required machines and to find the way to implement the latest technology of producing of concrete sleepers.

RMS have met the Implementation Department from the Iraqi Ministry of Transport to advise them about the advanced technology for the curing system and the other technologies that will be implemented by RMS and SKAKO in order to put the factory back in operation.

ABG signed the contract with RMS to supply of the following machines:

- Casting Machines
- Saw Machines
- De-moulding Machine
- Strand Running Machine

RMS will provide all the necessary drawings for the factory in order to implement the steam curing, as well to locate the laying of the future trucks to move the new machines in the preparation area.

The contract involved the training of ABG engineers in order for them to be able to participate in the commissioning and installation of the machines and equipments, as well as convert moulds from Pandrol PR607 to Pandrol FastClip.

RMS and ABG intend to start running the factory by March 2010 by operating the first line and the second line will follow gradually, in order to ensure high quality of production and to reduce the rejection of the produced concrete sleepers.
