Bolted, corrugated metal structures (BCMS) B381

The B381 profile offers a more limited range of structure shapes but has a greatly enhanced structural capacity, allowing for much larger arch spans and live load capacity. The large-span arches are typically used for rail and road underpasses, as a cost-effective alternative to pre-cast concrete structures, or large-span stockpile tunnels under high-capacity stockpiles. The B381 structures also include a wide range of wide-span low-profile Box Culverts, as a direct alternative to RC box culverts.

The strength of B381 arches can be further increased by the installation of double-ribs. In extreme loading cases, the void created by the twin-rib structure can also be grouted and reinforced. In all cases, site assembly is quick and efficient with full site support provided by our experienced staff.
