I didn't do any of the work! The workmen carried them up to where I wanted them put, I think they were embedded onto a concrete base but not absolutely sure about that. They then hammered in wooden stakes behind the sleepers at intervals and screwed the stakes to the sleepers to keep them in place. The correct way however I understand is for steel rods to be inserted right through the sleepers and into the ground to keep them in place but you would need an extra long heavy duty drill bit to do that I would imagine.
I'm not sure how long my wooden stakes are going to last but they have been in for three years so far.
