Aluminium pipes for storm sewer projects
Available in galvanized steel, Aluminized Steel Type 2, polymer coated and aluminum to meet a wide variety of environmental and service life requirements. For projects with limited headroom, ULTRA FLO is available in pipe-arch.
Millions of feet of ULTRA FLO have been installed in thousands of storm sewer projects nationwide, providing significant cost savings. Because steel ULTRA FLO weighs less than 10% of concrete pipe, handling and installation costs are greatly reduced. Aluminum ULTRA FLO has only 1/35 the weight of concrete pipe.
Lower labor costs also result from fast and easy joining. Contech Quick Stab® joints or coupling bands do not require special skills or tools. Twenty-foot standard lengths mean fewer joints and faster laying. And, longer lengths are available on special order. ULTRA FLOs smaller outside diameter permits a reduction in trench widths and depths, providing time and cost savings for both excavation and backfilling operations. Shop-fabricated fittings save installation time in the field while providing hydraulically efficient junctions.
