By offering better alternatives to traditional bridges, Buried Bridges using Corrugated Structural Plate now deliver maximum value and road safety. Continuous research, product improvements and more durable coatings have elevated the performance characteristics of buried bridges to the point where they are now legitimate contenders in markets, environments, and sites from which they were previously excluded. From projects across Canada, the resilience of buried bridges has demonstrated their ability to withstand extreme weather events, over time. After surviving severe flooding, and even hurricane events, buried bridges were often the one bridge left standing. By minimizing the natural and financial resources required, Buried Bridges yield a positive environmental impact with a low carbon footprint that continues to be lowered annually. Mitigated durability, hydraulic flows, traffic disruptions and climate change risks are among their accrued benefits; along with high recycled content and reduced construction waste as verified in the Environmental Product Declaration. Maximizing value to owners contributes to benefit the entire population.
