Aluminum channeling CORLIX®

for drainage systems

CORLIX® aluminum culvert and drainage pipe provides a predictable service life of more than 75 years. It is the ideal pipe for municipal culverts, storm sewers, underground storm water detention systems or any standard drainage project that must withstand alkali soils and erosive environments. In addition to its long design life, CORLIX is an economical alternative to reinforced concrete pipe. CORLIX weighs only 1/35 as much as reinforced concrete. Lighter weight means easier installation. Trench width (and depth) are reduced due to the smaller outside diameter, resulting in time and cost savings for both excavation and backfill. Single lengths up to 40 feet ensure more accurate pipe alignment at time of placement and through the life of the system. Longer lengths save installation time with fewer joints. Easy, fast pipe cutting on the job is simple with standard tools. Since there are no riveted joints, CORLIX can be cut at any point. Cuts and welds need no protective treatment. Wide availability of fittings saves installation time in the field. Fabricated elbows, manholes and catch basins minimize hydraulic losses at junction structures. Fabricated from special aluminum clad culvert material - Service life of more than 75 years Corrosion resistant - Can be used in alkali soils, salt water, and erosive environments Weighs 1/35 as much as reinforced concrete - Easier, faster installation Longer lengths than reinforced concrete pipe - Fewer joints, faster installation, and more accurate pipe alignment Smaller outside diameter than reinforced concrete pipe - Less excavation, faster installation, reduced cost
