ViaPlate
Diverse and cost-saving solution for bridges and culverts
ViaPlate is a corrugated steel structure widely used to construct bridges, culverts and grade separations. It is lightweight and easy to transport, with the installation possible in any weather within a couple of weeks. It is also a durable and green solution as the steel is completely reusable and can last for 100+ years without special maintenance.
Minimal maintenance
Most of maintenance will consist corrosion protection layer renovation once every 20-30 years.
Long service life
The steel is protected against corrosion by hot dip galvanizing. It ensures a steady service life of over 100 years.
Fast and simple installation
One crane, assembly branches and a ladder is basically all you need to set up ViaPlate. A team of one specialized supervisor and regular workers will suffice. The installation is so swift that a bridge of 90×12 m can be ready in just 2 weeks.
Suitable for extreme temperatures
Severe weather conditions is not a problem for these structures. Suitable for both -50°C and +50°C, ViaPlate can be installed in the far north of Norway as well as in scorching Morocco.
Durability in aggressive environments
What guarantees ViaPlate longevity is our customized design of corrosion protection. From the urban landscape to the seawater, we design it for all corrosivity classes. Together with the high-strength steel and simple construction, it makes ViaPlate a durable solution.
Eco-friendly
Steel is 100% recyclable. It is lightweight and much faster to produce than concrete. That is why it does not drain natural resources and leaves a much smaller carbon footprint. Finally, the quick assembly results in minimal environmental disturbance.
