MULTIPLATE -Introduction

MULTIPLATE is a construction system based around curved, corrugated, galvanised steel sheets which are bolted together to form durable structures, or part structures, of variable profile that can be deployed in a variety of construction roles.

Typically, ASSET MULTIPLATE structures are used in the following applications:

Culverts

Re-lining

Vehicular underpasses

Pedestrian underpasses

Livestock underpasses

Railway tunnels

Materials recovery tunnels

Conveyor tunnels

Service tunnels

VERSATILE MULTIPLATE

The versatility of MULTIPLATE in terms of structure shapes and sizes offers the widest possible choice to the designer addressing conventional design problems and also considerable scope for originality when faced with one of the many unusual problems which arise in today's construction industry. MULTIPLATE is manufactured in a wide range of steel thickness and plate sizes, and the range of applied finishes available includes galvanizing and further optional secondary coatings.

Our technical staff are always ready to discuss the feasibility of applications however unusual they may at first appear. New uses for this versatile product are recorded by users on a regular basis.

STRENGTH THROUGH FLEXIBILITY

MULTIPLATE structures provide a high compressive strength and create a composite steel/soil structure by transferring imposed loads to the surrounding backfill. Structural load capacity is a function of structure span, wall thickness and backfill properties. Foundation loads are considerably reduced compared to those exerted by rigid structures under similar load conditions.

Two corrugation alternatives
MULTIPLATE is available in two corrugation alternatives to meet a wide range of structural design requirements.

MP200 200 x 55 mm corrugation

MP100 100 x 20 mm corrugation

Steel thicknesses
A range of steel thicknesses from 2.0mm up to 8.0mm is available to satisfy a wide range of MULTIPLATE design requirements.
