Title
Aluminum Drainage Products Manual
The Aluminum Association Inc.
Publication Date:
Jan 1, 1983
Scope:
Corrugated aluminum has proven a superior material for storm sewer,
culvert, and other drainage
pipe applications. Aluminum's wide-spread acceptance and use is based
on direct comparison of
engineering and economic factors with drainage pipe made of steel,
concrete, and other materials.
Extensive data were obtained from site inspection and evaluation of
similar installations in
comparable environments.
Given the longer projected service life in the majority of
applications, installation cost savings
alone are usually decisive for corrugated aluminum pipe. In many
difficult soil or inaccessible
site locations, particularly, corrugated aluminum drainage materials
are virtually the "automatic
choice."
In fact, in-place cost savings are generally the rule and result from
the fact that aluminum
corrugated pipe weighs only about three per cent as much as concrete
pipe. Longer pipe sections are
common when aluminum is employed, speeding installation and reducing
labor and handling equipment
costs (see Fig. 1-1).
The excellent corrosion resistance and strength of aluminum alloys
employed in corrugated drainage
pipe and fittings have earned official state and federal specification
acceptance of aluminum
drainage materials.
Today, more than 100-million ft. of corrugated aluminum pipe are in
service in the United States as
culvert and storm sewers and a wide variety of other types of drainage
structures. These corrugated
aluminum systems drain all types of roadways, parks, airport landing
strips and aprons, forest
service access roads, and interstate highways, (see Fig. 1-2).
Aluminum pipe is also being employed
by municipalities for storm sewers, throughout the U. S. and in other
parts of the world.
