Sole Plates

Sole plates are needed in rail installation, as they not only support the rails, but also enable the entire fastening system to be fixed on.

The holes for bolting the anchor and levelling bolts (and holes for bolt through clips if present) are precisely drilled into the sole plates. For weldable clips and base clips, the bottom of the clip is welded onto the sole plates before galvanising.

The sole plate can be in its nominal length of either 3 m or 6 m for continuous sole plates mounting, or it can be manufactured to a specific short length and width for individual Sole Plate Mounting.

The manufacturing of sole plates includes cutting the plates into the correct sizes, precision hole drilling/punching for anchor bolts and levelling bolts, welding weldable clip bases and galvanising the plates.
