SuperCor Structures
SuperCor® structures are the new generation of flexible structures made of galvanized corrugated steel plates of a very high stiffness. To take the loads, those structures use interaction with surrounding backfill soil. The load capacity of SuperCor® is far higher than traditional structures made of corrugated steel. SuperCor® structures are used for building engineering objects above and under roads and railways. Spans can reach 25 m.
This product has CE mark.
Structures are simple and easy to assembly. Average assembly time takes a few days in assistance with small crew.
The beginning of SuperCor® use dates back to the middle of 80’ in 20th century. Nowadays they have been used in many countries all over the world, in Poland used since 2000. ViaCon group manufactures SuperCor® in Scandinavia and Poland. ViaCon Polska has been producing SuperCor® structures since 2008 in Rydzyna, Poland.
Typical sequence for construction of SuperCor® bridges:
- foundations,
- delivery,
- assembly,
- backfilling,
- finishing works.
SuperCor® structures have many advantages over traditional bridge solutions:
- simple design due to fewer details, drawings and calculations database for standard application,
- easy and fast assembly,
- possibility to assemble in temperatures below zero,
- possibility to assemble structures without traffic stop,
- possibility to assemble of partial or total prefabrication of structures,
- due to lightweight, corrugated plates can be delivered easily and economically to remote locations,
- reduction in total time and cost of building a bridge.
SuperCor® versatile structures are used for roads and railways and industrial applications:
- bridges,
- overpasses,
- tunnels,
- culverts,
- underpasses,
- pedestrian tunnels,
- ecological crossings, hangars,
- shelters,
- underground storages,
- belt conveyor protection.
Furthermore, SuperCor® structures can be used for reinforcement and reconstruction of existing structures (bridges, culverts, tunnels, underpasses).
Production
We manufacture SuperCor® using TQM approach. Our production is certified in accordance to ISO 9001 and ISO 14001.
The process of SuperCor® production consists of mechanical forming of steel flat plates to the shape of corrugated curved plates which are later hot-dip galvanized. Producing of holes, cutting is done prior to galvanizing.
Corrugated plates can be epoxy painted on request. Whole process is located indoor.
Steel used for production of SuperCor® conforms to EN 10149-2 or EN 10025-2.
Design process includes the following:
- design of SuperCor® structure (including assembly and backfilling procedure),
- design of engineered backfill,
- design of foundation,
- design of in and outlet fitting elements,
SuperCor® structures are designed for all road and railway live load classes acc. to Eurocode 1 EN 1991-2 and for national standards as well as for (STANAG 2021) loads.
