About us

Past

Besides gathering of practical know-how the technicians in Dinslaken together with the Technical University Darmstadt and in cooperation with the authorities of Road Administration took great credit in establishing computating methods for the loading and stability behaviour of elstically bedded, corrugated steel pipe, for the approval within the scope of building specifications.
The result of these investigations is the Klöppel/Glock design method, which is laid down in all European standards for corrugated steel pipe. A large-scale test, generously supported by Armco-Thyssen, underlined the method and gave proof of the high carrying reserves for static and dynamic loading.

Already in 1896 the corrugated steel pipe, which gets its great stability and carrying capacity from bedding in the soil body, was developed and patented in America. The American steel producer Armco Inc., founded in Middletown 1899, recognized the advantages of corrugated steel pipe and took over the patent in 1908.

Armco Inc. developed the new steel pipe technology into the present worldwide known MultiPlate construction system.
With the foundation in 1956 and the start of production in 1957, today Hamco Dinslaken Bausysteme GmbH, Armco Inc. and Thyssen introduced the MultiPlate construction menthod into Germany and made it a success. Several 10000 structures of the MultiPlate system give evidence.

Present

Hamco Dinslaken Bausysteme GmbH is a family-run medium-sized company that is always striving to combine his activities with quality, innovation and reliability. The staff were and are always motivated in search for new applications, market areas and challenges. For example, from the recent past here are to mention geometrically complex corrugated steel structures for multifunctional use or green bridges made of corrugated steel for connection of natural habitats of wild living animals.

The development of the corrugated steel construction method has always been significantly supported by our company through technical and scientific investigations. Here the Klöppel/Glock design method should be emphasized which is still today anchored in many guidelines for the dimensioning of corrugated steel structures. Our development and market introduction of the corrugated steel product MP 200 x 55 is also very important and worth mentioning. Recently, this product has been modified by us with regard to higher steel quality and more optimal steel thickness gradation. Such modifications are always accompanied by recognized testing institutes and finally demonstrated by a test report.
