Product catalog summary
Introduction
Atlantic Industries Limited (AIL) is renowned for its innovative, high-quality corrugated metal products. The Dur•A•Span™ Aluminium Structural Plate is a lightweight, strong, and corrosion-resistant solution used in over 1,000 structures worldwide, offering superior performance and cost-effectiveness compared to traditional materials like precast concrete.

Key Features
  • Corrosion/Abrasion Resistance: Aluminium's self-healing oxide surface ensures longevity, especially in aggressive environments like saltwater.
  • Lightweight: At 1/50 the weight of reinforced concrete, it reduces shipping and installation costs, particularly in remote areas.
  • Easy Installation: Structures can be shipped assembled or in large sections, minimizing joints and assembly time.
  • Strength: Made from alloy 5052, with additional hardware from alloys 6061 and 6063, meeting various design standards.

Applications
Dur•A•Span is ideal for coastal or remote areas, suitable for stream and river crossings, culverts, storm drains, and more.

Design and Specifications
The corrugation pattern enhances strength and stiffness, with hot-dip galvanized bolts for durability. Various end treatments and headwall packages are available.

Comparison with Concrete
Dur•A•Span offers a maintenance-free design life of over 100 years, with lower installation and life cycle costs compared to concrete. It is also fish-friendly, facilitating movement and preventing debris buildup.

Box Culverts and Custom Shapes
Dur•A•Span box culverts combine the rigidity of box culverts with the flexibility of metal culverts, promoting environmental benefits like fish passage. Custom shapes and sizes are available to meet specific project needs.

Relines and Infrastructure Renewal
AIL offers reline packages to salvage failing structures, minimizing environmental impact and avoiding the costs of full replacement.
