Features & Advantages

High Fatigue Resistance: Superior toughness minimizes crack initiation under repeated traffic loads.

Enhanced Weathering: Weather­resistant alloy options (e.g., Corten) reduce corrosion maintenance in outdoor environments.

Precision Flatness: Tight flatness tolerances ensure uniform bearing contact and ease of welding or bolting.

Excellent Weldability: Controlled chemistry and low residual stresses support stable, defect‑free welds.

Consistent Quality: 100 % ultrasonic and mechanical testing guarantee performance to bridge code requirements.


Applications

Bridge Decking: Wear‑resistant top plates for asphalt or concrete overlays.

Main Girders & Stringers: Longitudinal load‑bearing elements.

Cross Frames & Diaphragms: Transverse stiffeners that distribute loads and maintain geometry.

Bearing Seat Plates: Interfaces between superstructure and bearings.

Repair & Rehabilitation: Patch plates for deck or girder repairs on existing bridges.


Packaging & Delivery

Packaging:

Plates stacked with timber or polymer spacers; edges protected with steel angles.

Shot‑blast cleaned or oiled as specified; banded and shrink‑wrapped for corrosion protection.

Bundles loaded on heavy‑duty skids or pallets for safe transport.

Lead Time: Typical production and shipment within 25–35 days after order; expedited schedules available for critical infrastructure projects.
