Aleppo Railways Produce 7,000 Concrete Columns Annually

The General Company for Railways in Aleppo annually produces seven thousand prefabricated concrete poles for the electrical network. The Company operates factories designated for the construction of railways and the production of girders for the extension of railway networks and switches for changing network lines.

According to the Railways General Manager, there are several production centers affiliated with the company, especially in Aleppo and Homs. The products of the rotary shafts factory meet the requirements of electrical companies in Syria, and soon a factory will be equipped to produce concrete beams in Aleppo and install them instead of the wooden ones.

The company is carrying out the work of extending and completing the railways for the main lines and branches, and the works of the railway linking Aleppo to Damascus have been completed. Tishreen thermal station branch is implemented in the Al-Dumeir area. The station covers a quarter of the plant’s production capacity, which can be increased to produce 24 thousand columns.

The production of columns goes through three stages, the first includes preparing the wires and installing them on the production lines, then tightening and wrapping them in a spiral, and at last comes the stage of pouring the concrete through the central mount.
