Multi-Plate

Strong
Economical
Lightweight

MultiPlate is ideal for new

site developments, council and
municipal stream crossings, as
well as urban rehabilitations. It
maintains natural streambeds
and reduces environmental
impacts. MultiPlate structures
are effectively utilized as strong
and economical alternatives to
elaborate bridge replacements.

Multi-Plate is ideal for:

Conveyor tunnels
Stockpile tunnels
Underpasses
Culverts
Stream enclosures
Fishways
Bridge replacements

Multi-Plate Structural Shapes and Details

Round Pipe is the most common and versatile of the

High Profile arches (elliptical or horseshoe) are engineered

Multi-Plate shapes. This shape is used primarily for

culverts, stormwater drains and sub-drains, but is also
appropriate for storage bins, tunnels and bridges.

Arches Standard and Low Profile anchored on footings

are ideal for installations where there is limited headroom
and low height of cover restrictions. They are especially
useful in sites where it is desirable to maintain natural
stream beds and are widely used for stream enclosures,
culverts and stormwater drains.

to maintain a natural waterway and allow for an abrasive

bedload. Additionally, these arches are ideal for projects that
include large end areas or large spans. The high profile arch
is also used for highway grade separations.

Elliptical shapes are commonly used for underpasses and

service tunnels. The horizontal ellipse is better suited for

multi-lane, vehicular underpasses, while the vertical ellipse
shape is more appropriate for single lane vehicular and
railway underpasses.

Pipe-Arch is ideal for bridges and underpasses with

limited overhead clearance. Pipe-archs unique shape

provides hydraulic advantages at low flow rates for
culverts and stormwater drains.

Multi-Plate Design
and Installation

Multi-Plate structures are rapidly becoming the product of choice for high strength, economical, bridge and underpass
construction. Our engineers are on call to provide complete project assistance and product support from start to finish.

Structural Design
If designed properly, the combination of structural steel
and surrounding soil allows Multi-Plate to support
extremely heavy loads. Standard designs are developed
in accordance with AS/NZS 2041. However, design
assistance and recommendations can be specified to suit
your project. Contact your local Atlantic Civil Products
Technical Sales Representative for assistance.

Site Investigation and Preparation

A thorough site investigation should be conducted
before installing a Multi-Plate structure. If footings
are to be used, the foundation will have to be capable of
supporting vertical and horizontal loads developed by
the structure. The aim is to design a structurally sound
foundation that will allow the structure to develop full
interaction between soil and steel Multi-Plate.

Site preparation should provide a solid base for the

structure. It should be good quality material, free from
rocks, roots, debris, and organic material. Scouring must
be considered when designing a Multi-Plate structure.
Atlantic Civil Products gladly offers technical assistance
on foundation investigation and site preparation for
varying site conditions.

Assembly
Atlantic Civil Products Multi-Plate structures arrive at the
site ready for assembly and, in special situations, structures
may be pre-assembled. Every Multi-Plate structure comes
complete with a detailed plan and installation instructions.
Experienced supervision, when required, will ensure correct,
efficient assembly. Upon request, Atlantic Civil Products
can provide onsite technical assistance for installation of
any structure it supplies.
