BRIDGE PLATE GIRDERS
Manufacturer of Bridge Plate Girders
A plate girder bridge is a bridge supported by two or more plate girders. Plate girder bridges are suitable for short to long spans, including support railroads, highways, or other traffic. MaiCo Industries prefabricates plate girders up to 120′ long.
Folded Steel Plate Girder for Bridges
The folded plate bridge girder is used for accelerating the construction of short span bridges.
In 2018, the American Institute of Steel Construction awarded a Special Award to the Folded Steel Plate Bridge for Technological Advancement. The Bridge is located in Muskingum County, Ohio.
Sandwich Plate System (SPS) for Bridges
With the Sandwich Plate System (SPS), the need for pouring concrete is eliminated. SPS is an alternative to reinforced concrete for bridge decks and has many benefits.
- SPS bridges are 70% lighter than concrete
- Prefabrication allows faster and safer construction
- Repairs can be completed without closing the bridge to traffic
