Armtec first introduced Hel-Cor pipe to the construction industry in 1934. Since then, Hel-Cor has proven its effectiveness and durability in countless installations under diverse conditions. The inherent strength of these helically-corrugated, light-weight steel sections, in conjunction with the diversity of sizes, couplings, fittings and finishes, combine to make Hel-Cor one of the most versatile, cost-effective systems for many applications.
Features and Benefits:
Flexibility and high compressive strength – The helical corrugations and continuous lock-seam provide high compressive strength in a light-weight, thin-walled structure.
Economy of installation – Depending upon the installation, cost savings in excess of 25% over other systems are not uncommon, due to light weight of pipe sections.
Versatility – Choices of 2 shapes, 2 corrugations, 5 wall thicknesses, five factory-applied finishes and a variety of couplings, fittings and end-treatments
Reduced leakage – long lengths reduce opportunities for leakage

Multi-Plate is Armtec’s Structural Plate Corrugated Steel Pipe as defined in CSA Standard G401. Multi-Plate is a well-proven versatile and economical pipe and bridge product and one with a fine history going back to 1932.
In most applications, Multi-Plate is used in a variety of shapes and configurations as the steel element of a soil-steel structure. In other applications Multi-Plate can be used in free-standing structures such as rock fall protection and portals, aggregate storage bins, water intakes, caissons and more. Multi-Plate is supplied in component form for field assembly.
Features and Benefits:
Variety of shapes available – Shapes include circular, pipe arch, elliptical (vertical or horizontal), arch and underpass shape.
Transportability and handling – Due to the component nature of Multi-Plate, it is particularly suitable for installation in remote areas, where transportation to the site may be costly.
Load-carrying capacity – All structures are pre-engineered and manufactured specifically for the project at hand. Plate thickness is varied to accommodate dead load and live load over the structure.
Ease of Installation – There are several characteristics which contribute to the ease with which Multi-Plate can be assembled and installed. These include: light weight of sections, bolted assembly, pre-engineered components and factory-built accessories, wide range of plate thicknesses available, granular soils used as backfill, and several others.
In 1990, Armtec introduced Ultra Flo storm sewer pipe to Canada, a superior drainage and conduit product. Ultra Flo combines the traditional advantages of corrugated metal pipe and a superior hydraulic flow capacity. Ultra Flo spiral rib pipe is an innovative, flexible metal pipe, which has been proven as a highly reliable product in thousands of installations. Ultra Flo is available in Galvanized or Aluminized Steel Type 2.
Features and benefits:
Efficient hydraulics – Ultra Flo is produced by a continuous spiral seam method. Stiffness is provided by external box-shaped ribs. The rib is a continous spiral, which produces a hydraulically smooth inside wall.
Proven strength – Ultra Flo has the same strength advantages as corrugated metal pipe
Various protective coatings available depending on installation conditions
Economical installation due to light weight and smaller outside diameter
Armtec Hel-Cor pipe manufactured from Aluminized Steel Type 2 offers the corrosion resistance and surface characteristics of aluminum with the strength, durability and economy of Armtec corrugated steel pipe. The product is fabricated from steel coils which have been hot-dip coated in a bath of commercially pure aluminum. The coating has uniform thickness on both sides of the sheet, with a strong metallurgical bond between metals.
Engineered from a composite reinforced polymer concrete, Armtec’s PRO-ECO-LITE Headwalls combine the lightweight characteristics of plastics with the strength of concrete.
Features and Benefits:
Lightweight – 10% of the weight of conventional concrete headwalls. Ideal for weak subgrade conditions.
Fast and simple installation – Less manpower and lighter machinery to ship, handle and install.
Durability – Composite reinforced polymer concrete is designed to meet the most demanding applications.
Versatile connection - ENVIROCONNECT™ and XPORT™ systems provide a simple, positive (no grout) connection to Corrugated Steel Pipe, BOSS 2000, BOSS 1000, Weholite and PVC. FRP system provides mechanical connection to concrete pipe.
Environmental benefit – Fish-friendly, non-leaching, non-corrosive materials, meeting Federal requirements for non-polluting of streams and ditches
Armtec Nestable Corrugated Steel Pipe consists of matching half-round segments of corrugated steel which, when assembled, become lengths of full-round corrugated steep pipe. This pipe was developed almost 60 years ago for overseas installations. Available in flange-type or notch-type configurations.
Perforated Hel-Cor pipe provides a lasting system to drain ground water under paved surfaces such as roadways, parking lots, airport runways, recreational areas, as well as areas adjacent to buildings, bridge abutments and retaining walls. It offers exceptional performance for ground water drainage in low-lying areas, particularly where high strength and hydraulic capacity are required.
Armtec’s Slotted Drain is a surface water collection system that effectively removes runoff from flat, paved surfaces to promote safety and convenience. Available from Armtec for over 30 years, most provincial Transportation Departments and Ministries now approve the use of Slotted Drain. Economical Slotted Drain provides an aesthetic and efficient answer to storm drainage problems.
Features and Benefits:
improved drainage efficiency
low cost
better safety
not affected by the freeze/thaw cycle
easy maintenance
easy installation/shallow excavations

Armtec Collector Pans are a modular system of steel pans and drains, easily installed on existing or newly laid railroad tracks to catch wastes such as spilled diesel fuel, oils and greases and other pollutants. The Collector Pan system completely covers the area between and immediately outside rails. Cross drains installed at right angles to the track between the ties carry wastes and rainwater into under-drains and on to treatment and disposal facilities. These may include settling basins, grit chambers and oil-water separators.
Applications:
Railroad applications – fueling stations, ready tracks, tank car laoding and unloading areas,
Washing and cleaning facilities and on hump tracks above journal lubricators.
Industrial applications – any area where liquids are transferred from tank cars or at standing car areas

separators, StormFilter, VortClarex and Hydrobrake. These products provide:
filtration, hydrodynamic separation, screening systems and oil/water
separation solutions.
The treatment of storm water runoff is essential to Canada’s environment. With increased development and reduced absorbent surfaces available in urban areas peak surface flows are higher than before development, and occur much earlier in the storm. With high surface runoff comes high contaminant and suspended solids content. Storm water must therefore be managed on two fronts: volume created by early peak runoff must be contained and released in a controlled fashion. Storm water runoff must be treated to remove contaminants before it reaches natural watercourses.
Armtec manufactures storm water detention and recharge systems using both corrugated steel pipe and high density corrugated polyethylene pipe. Storm water detention systems are custom-designed to suit any site plan. The diameter, size and configuration of the underground pipe storage system is designed to optimize storage taking into account such factors as available land area, depth of burial, storage required and discharge or recharge rate required. Steel systems are available in galvanized, aluminized or polymer-laminated steel.
Armtec supplies storm water quality products in cooperation with CONTECH Stormwater Solutions Inc. A full range of filtration, hydrodynamic separation, screening, oil/water separation and flow control technology is available.
