The Sandwich Plate System is
a technology heralded by engineers
and regulators as a breakthrough
maritime and civil engineering
material since a 100 years ago.
SPS is a composite material
comprising two metal plates
separated by an elastomer core,
which transfers shear between
each plate, eliminates the need
for stiffeners and precludes
local faceplate buckling. The
thicknesses of the composite
elements are tailored to meet
the needs of each application.
SPS is an excellent alternative
to both stiffened steel and
reinforced concrete and delivers
high stiffness to weight ratio,
simpler fabrication, improved
performance and increased safety.
SPS structures such as ships,
bridges, sport stadiums, floor
systems and blast walls can
be designed and produced using
industry standard techniques.
SPS is used in a wide variety
of new construction and repair
applications in the maritime
and civil engineering industries.
