Cut-and-Cover Tunnels and Tunnel Extensions
Tunnels constructed with multi-plate steel systems are high-strength modular tunnel structures formed by assembling corrugated steel plates. These tunnels are typically used to withstand heavy traffic loads and challenging environmental conditions. Their durability and low maintenance requirements make them a long-term and cost-effective investment. Multi-plate steel tunnel systems provide a flexible, durable, and economical solution.
Design and Structure
• Modular Plates: The tunnel system is built by assembling pre-manufactured steel plates on-site. This modular structure allows for easy expansion or reduction of the tunnel size.
• Corrugated Design: The steel plates feature a corrugated structure, which enhances the load-bearing capacity of the tunnels.
• Coating Options: Tunnel systems can be manufactured with galvanized coatings to protect against corrosion, ensuring longevity in harsh environmental conditions. Additional protective paint coatings can be applied for a design lifespan of 100 years or more.
