Sleepers used to be imported from US but more recently have been produced in UK by CORUS.
Steels are flat across between the rails then curve down into the ballast about a foot outside the rails.
Once the hollow of the underside (Its shaped like a flat topped U section but upside down) is bedded into the ballast they don't need much attention.
