Riveted bar grating
Bearing bars and reticuline cross bars mechanically fastened with high-tensile rivets. Built for installations where welding is prohibited or where weld heat-affected zones compromise alloy temper.
Mechanical integrity without thermal stress
In riveted grating, crimped cross bars are cold-riveted at every contact point. This creates a solid truss system that eliminates micro-cracks and residual thermal stress typical of arc welding, making it the preferred choice for heavy bridge decks, rolling equipment paths, and sensitive aluminum architectural structures.
Zero heat-affected zones
Mechanical riveting preserves the tempered molecular strength of heat-sensitive alloys without thermal distortion.
Mechanical truss rigidity
Cold-pressed rivets lock crimped reticuline bars to straight bearing bars, distributing high point-loads evenly.
High impact & fatigue resistance
Ductile non-welded fasteners absorb cyclic vibration and bridge heavy rolling wheel traffic reliably.
Corrosion-resistant fastening options
Standard units feature precision matched alloy rivets—aluminum rivets for aluminum gratings and austenitic stainless rivets for stainless builds—preventing galvanic reaction and preserving structural lifespan in coastal or harsh industrial exposures.
Custom span & loading configurations
Manufactured to custom project drawings, bearing bar depths from 1" to 2-1/2", and standard 7-inch rivet spacing for vehicular and pedestrian loads.
Available alloy materials
Select base metals and matched mechanical hardware for project-specific operating conditions.
Lightweight, non-sparking, and naturally corrosion-resistant for marine and chemical facilities.
Maximum resistance to severe chemical attack, acidic atmospheres, and sanitary washdown.
Heavy structural load capacity available plain (mill finish), painted, or hot-dip galvanized.
