Rail and railway steel.

## What we accept

Rail and railway steel. Material is weighed and graded on arrival at our yard in Mina Abdallah.

## Heavy section, cut to length

Rail is a dense, heavy section. It is cut to the length the buyer specifies rather than shipped in the runs it arrives in.

## Where it comes from

Track renewal, and industrial and port rail taken out of service.

## Rail is a high carbon steel

Rail carries more carbon than structural steel and is bought as its own grade. Crop ends, worn rail and lifted track all run as rail rather than as heavy melting.

## Fittings come off

Fishplates, chairs, clips and sleeper fixings are separated from the rail itself. Rail is cut to transportable length, since full lengths do not load.

## From the yard to the port

Five stages, handled by us, in the order they happen.

### 01 Grading and preparation

Material is sorted and graded, then cut, sheared or baled to the size the buyer specifies.

### 02 Weighing

Every load is weighed and a weight ticket is issued against it, recording gross, tare and net.

### 03 Inspection

A lot may be inspected at the yard by arrangement. Photographs and weights of a specific lot are provided on request.

### 04 Container loading

Sorted material is loaded to container at the yard, grade by grade rather than mixed.

### 05 Documentation and shipment

Paperwork is handled from the yard through to the port, and the shipment leaves through Shuaiba or Shuwaikh.
