multiplate bridge buried bridge multiplate structureAfter thorough analysis of the features and frequencies of the floods, along with the the impacts and effects – it was decided  a bridge was the best source of action to elevate the existing road, and solving the problems created by the floods. Analyzing all the factors, the general designer proposed as a solution the implementation of closed section corrugated steel structures. With the help of ViaCon designers was proposed a technical solution composed of five deep corrugated structural plate structures .

The assembly works of the steel structures has been completed in about 5 weeks, the work team was made up of 6 workers and completed the assembly of a steel structure consisting of 113 corrugated plates in 5 days ,considering the tough weather conditions (the works were executed in late November and December). As a conclusion the assembly of the steel structures was quite fast.
