Multi Plate Backfill
The versatility of Multiplate structures is limited only by engineering inventiveness. Their traditional uses include culverts - small and large, bridges, storm drains, pedestrian and stock underpasses. However other applications include mine and tunnel portal protection, conveyor housings, water tanks, caissons, underground storage facilities and even wineries.
Multiplate structures derive their strength through the interaction of the surrounding backfill. The design and supervision of this should be conducted by an experienced engineer. A site engineer should ensure that assumptions made at the design stage are present on site and that backfilling is in accordance with the specification.
