A culvert system includes a flexible toe wall that connects to and extends down from the bottom of the culvert. The flexible toe wall is capable of readily conforming to various shapes of the trench conditions provided to receive the toe wall, before or as the trench is backfilled.

Culvert system with flexible toe wall

A bridge system uses foundation structures that are formed of the combination of a metal-frame structure and cast-in-place concrete. The metal-frame structure of the foundation is capable of supporting bridge units before pouring of concrete.

A corrugated plate structure includes a plurality of corrugated plates connected together to form a corrugated structure having a corrugation direction and a cross-corrugation direction. A reinforcement system includes: a first bracket and a second bracket, where the first bracket extends substantially parallel to the cross-corrugation direction and mounted to side-by-side first and second corrugation crests so as to pass over a corrugation valley that joins the first and second corrugation crest, and where the second bracket is spaced in the corrugation direction from the first bracket, and the second bracket extends substantially parallel to the cross-corrugation direction and mounted to the first and second corrugation crests so as to pass over the corrugation valley. An elongated reinforcing member extends substantially parallel to the corrugation direction and mounted to both the first bracket and the second bracket.

Reinforcement system and method for corrugated plate structures

A containment system including a wall member with a plurality of corrugations, each corrugation extending horizontally along a length of the wall member. Each of a multiplicity of the corrugations has openings therein, and at least some of the openings in the corrugations at least partially align to form an upright keyway through the wall member. The system further includes a bracket that has a plurality of corrugation-receiving spaces therein. The wall member is positioned with corrugations in respective corrugation-receiving spaces. The system also includes a locking member received in the upright keyway of the wall member and positioned such that interaction between the locking member and portions of the bracket prevent the wall member from being pulled away from the bracket.

Secondary containment system

A corrugated plate structure including a plurality of first rows of members, each first row including a first plurality of members connected end-to-end lengthwise. Each first row has members of variable widths along its length to define a first edge, and the first edge is similarly shaped for each first row. The corrugated plate structure further includes a plurality of second rows of members, each second row including a second plurality of members connected end-to-end lengthwise. Each second row has members of variable widths along its length to define a second edge, and the second edge is similarly shaped for each second row. The first edge and the second edge are complementary in shape, and the first rows and second rows are connected side-by-side along their first and second edges, where each member of the first row is interconnected with one member of the second row.

Corrugated metal plate assembly system and method

A liner plate structure, system and method is provided for lining of mine shaft bores, tunnels and the like. The liner plate structure includes a primary plate portion and at least one flange disposed at a side edge of the primary plate portion. A polymer seal element extends along a recess within an exterior surface of the flange.
