    ViaCon Buried Bridges – Strong, Flexible, Sustainable

    ViaCon Buried Bridges, built with our ViaPlate® solutions, deliver reliable and sustainable alternatives to traditional concrete bridges. Designed as soil–steel structures, they combine the strength of corrugated steel with engineered backfill, creating durable bridges that are quick to install, cost-efficient, and environmentally friendly.

    With three solutions – ViaPlate® 200, ViaPlate® 380, and ViaPlate® 500 – ViaCon offers flexibility for projects of every scale. From road and railway crossings to ecological passages and industrial tunnels, our buried bridges provide proven performance and a design life of up to 120 years.

    Choosing steel over concrete significantly reduces CO₂ emissions and material use. All ViaPlate solutions are recyclable, lightweight for transport, and fast to assemble, lowering the overall environmental footprint of your project.
