Tubosider bolted plate is a corrugated steel plate construction system used
primarily for culverts, underpasses, quarry escape tunnels and stockpile
recovery tunnels, and bridges. It is used typically where diameters are in
excess of 3.6m and increased
loadbearing capacity is required. It is available
in spans/diameters up to 12m.
Bolted plate is based around 1.6m wide, curved, corrugated, galvanised steel
sheets of varying profiles, lengths and thicknesses that are bolted together to
form durable structures in the shape of a full round pipe, an arch, a horizontal
elliptical pipe, a pipe-arch or underpass.
Tubosider bolted plate offers definite advantages over concrete structures
because of its strength to weight ratio, resistance to breakage, immunity to
damage by fire and frost, its ease of installation and adaptability to
changing conditions.
