Riveted Bar Grating

Bar-Grating-riveted, riveted bar grating on a bridge Riveted Bar Grating Products

Riveted bar grating derives its name from the use of high-strength rivets to bond the reticulated bars to the bearing bars. Mechanically and hydraulically operated riveting tools are used to individually cold-press each rivet, which fuses the reticulated and bearing bars together and forms a solid joint. Riveted bar grating products can be constructed of either carbon steel or aluminum.

What Are the Advantages of Riveted Bar Grating?


When compared to other types of grating, such as welded or aluminum swage-locked, riveted bar grating can provide a greater load capacity for the equivalent span and depth. The process of riveting the reticulated bars to the bear bars also enhances the grating’s resistance to buckling and shuddering, while also eliminating the residual stress that often lead to warping and joint failures. Being the oldest form of grating, riveted products are a strong, durable and impact resistant solution. Riveted grating offers superior resistance to impact and fatigue.

Additionally, riveted bar grating products are available with a smooth or serrated surface that is ideally suited for high traffic areas.
