When the New Brunswick Department of Transportation and Infrastructure (NBDTI) was looking for a large aluminum culvert for a salt water installation near Cocagne, AIL got the nod to produce and deliver the required pipe. Unlike some competitors, we had aluminum coil in stock and the manufacturing experience needed for a quick turnaround on the 3 m diameter sections.

Superior corrosion/abrasion resistance
When it comes to drainage solutions, corrosion/abrasion-resistant aluminum pipe is the material of choice due to the protection it provides throughout its entire thickness. Aluminum’s performance is enhanced by the tough oxide film that develops on the surface of the material when exposed to air. This tenacious film is difficult to remove and, if removed, will reform due to “self-healing.”
