Plates Structures

Plate Structures are Buried Corrugated Metal Structures, commonly referred to as Multiplates. Designed to AS/NZS2014.1 with proven performance, they are a versatile and economical solution of bridges and culverts. Fully engineered buried metal structures have been in service worldwide for more than 50 years, with a designed durability of 100 years.

These structures offer a combination of high live and dead loads, and are well suited for deep cover applications. Construction projects can be fast-tracked, as the relatively lightweight plates are easy to transport and assemble. Reduces both maintenance & life cycle costs, as there is no bridge deck or joints at the deck/roadway interface. Available in standard profiles, or custom made to suit your requirements.
