Multi Plates Corrugated Steel Pipe Culvert (MPCSP), also known as sectional plate or structural plate, is an advanced and versatile drainage solution designed for large-scale water management applications. Ideal for situations where standard corrugated pipes are too large or require varying thicknesses, MPCSP provides an efficient alternative for infrastructure projects requiring robust drainage systems.
Multi Plates Corrugated Steel Pipe Culvert (MPCSP) is constructed by assembling multiple corrugated steel sheets, which are rolled into a wave-like pattern. These sheets are then securely joined together using plates and bolts, forming a durable, reinforced pipe. The corrugations in the metal enhance the pipe’s structural integrity, making it resistant to deformation, damage, and collapse under pressure. Multi Plates Corrugated Steel Pipe Culvert (MPCSP) is especially effective in applications that demand strength and reliability, such as flood control, sewer systems, and other civil engineering projects.
This type of corrugated steel pipe is frequently used in the construction of culverts, which are structures that allow water to pass under roads, railways, and other barriers. It is also employed in various drainage systems, irrigation channels, sewage networks, and water supply pipelines. Its flexibility and durability make it an excellent choice for managing water flow in both urban and rural infrastructure projects.
A key advantage of Multi Plates Corrugated Steel Pipe Culvert (MPCSP) is its ease of installation. Unlike welded pipe systems, Multi Plates Corrugated Steel Pipe Culvert (MPCSP) can be quickly assembled on-site without the need for specialized welding equipment. This feature is particularly beneficial in remote or difficult-to-access locations where welding might not be feasible. In addition, MPCSP is highly resistant to corrosion, ensuring long-lasting performance even in harsh environmental conditions, whether above or below ground.
Whether used for transportation systems, water drainage, or underground utility management, Multi Plates Corrugated Steel Pipe Culverts offer a cost-effective, durable, and flexible solution for a wide range of construction needs.

Depth of cover
The minimum allowable depth of cover is the largest of:
For roads H=B/8+0.2(m) H=B/6(m) and not less than 0.6(m)
For railways H=B/4 and not less than 0.6(m)
There is a possibility to reduce depth of cover provided that suitable checking calculations will be made.
