Developed over 75 years ago, MULTI-PLATE is available in spans to 26 feet, and can be arranged and curved to make a variety of shapes including pipe, pipe-arch, horizontal and vertical ellipses, arches and underpasses.
The Contech Design Center provides engineers unparalleled flexibility in the layout and configuration of a Contech Bridge System. Our latest release includes options previously unavailable in a free, web-based design tool:
Technical information for this product is centrally located in the technical guides section.
Our Structural Plate products can be used for fish passages and wildlife crossings. The ability of Structural Plate products to span the delineated area reduces the need for permitting and allows for quick installation.
Our structural plate products, BridgeCor, MULTI-PLATE, Aluminum Structural Plate and SUPER-SPAN, offer a flexible and strong solution for culverts and enclosing canals and streams.
Bridges can be relined by erecting our plate structures inside existing structures. Or, the new plate structure can be erected outside and threaded into existing openings. Our Plate Structures, including Two-Flange Liner Plate, are delivered to the job site unassembled. The plates and ribs are easily bolted together to form various shapes: round, vertical and horizontal ellipse, pipe-arch, underpass and arch.
The many shapes and sizes of structural plate structures, BridgeCor, MULTI-PLATE, Aluminum Structural Plate and SUPER-SPAN, as well as their low cost and ease of installation, make them a mainstay for pedestrian and golf course bridges, overpasses, underpasses, and tunnels.
Our structural plate systems, including BridgeCor, MULTI-PLATE, Aluminum Structural Plate and SUPER-SPAN, are used frequently throughout the nation's infrastructure because of its light weight, durability and ease of installation. Structures can be pre-assembled on-site and lifted into place or assembled in place without the need for heavy or specialized equipment.
Consisting of field bolted galvanized steel plates; MULTI-PLATE has a long history of strength, durability and economy. It is arranged and curved to make a variety of shapes, including round, pipe-arch, arch, and ellipse (horizontal and vertical). BridgeCor's advanced profile and variety of shapes is an ideal solution as well.
Plate structures allow highway agencies and municipalities to dramatically reduce construction time and traffic disruptions when replacing our nation’s aging infrastructure. Plate bridges are ideally suited for emergency bridge replacements.
Our durable Structural Plate can meet heavy duty demands for industrial or mining applications. MULTI-PLATE round arch shapes are the most widely used structures for aggregate tunnels. Special features such as hopper openings, conveyor supports, bulkheads, escape laterals and elbows to accommodate grade changes and alignment are readily integrated. Plate structures can also be utilized to extend and improve mine entrances, providing protection from falling rocks and debris.
