When it comes to stormwater management and culvert design, selecting the right pipe material is crucial for performance, longevity, and cost-effectiveness. Enter Aluminized Type 2 (ALT2) pipe—a material that has become a staple in civil engineering projects. But what makes it so special? This blog will cover everything you need to know about ALT2 pipe and why it’s often the top choice for stormwater and drainage systems.

Red flags are design elements that are commonly or easily overlooked and may need extra attention when designing. Considering the red flags upfront will expedite the design and fabrication process, and eliminate delays, installation, and performance issues.

Corrugated metal pipe (CMP) is the “go-to” material for most stormwater detention and infiltration projects. A wide range of gages, corrugations, and diameters

Stormwater detention systems often include a large portion of the storage volume within the voids of the backfill material. Depending on the underground
