ACI tunnel ribs and wood lagging

Welcome to American Commercial


American Commercial offers a complete selection of ground control solutions. Beginning with steel liner plates installed in the Gratiot Avenue sewer system in Detroit, Michigan in 1920, we are today the leading designers and manufacturers of underground steel supports in North America. The first solid, square-cornered tunnel liner plates were designed and patented by Commercial in 1926 for use in the pioneer bore of the Moffat Tunnel in Colorado. Our experience in the art of tunneling spans over seventy-five years and thousands of projects, great and small, on six continents. 


Underground supports by American Commercial are designed specifically for the requirements of each permanent or temporary project. Geological conditions dictate the type of support needed to control ground after excavation, therefore supports are designed in an endless variety of configurations to control every condition known.
