Multi-Plate

Multi-Plate is a versatile and economical pipe and bridge product with a proven history of performance dating back to 1932. It is a component system, made of curved, corrugated galvanized steel plates, fasteners and, where applicable, footing channels. Structures are assembled in the field using plates curved specifically for the particular shape designed. 

Multi-Plate is most commonly used as the steel element of a buried soil-steel structure, but can also be part of free-standing structures such as rock fall protection and portals, aggregate storage bins, water intakes, caissons and more.
