Metallic coatings have been applied to iron and steel armaments as early as the 17th century. The purpose of metallic coatings applied to steel is to help retard corrosion. The zinc coating process of steel, referred to as galvanizing, was name after Luigi Galvani, an Italian physicist who lived in the 18th century. Galvanized steel in the construction industry came into widespread use in the early 20th century.

Long before the creation of the industrial bread slicer, Corrugated Steel Pipe was invented in the United States. Corrugated Steel Pipe was first used for hydraulic cross culverts in the early 1900s. Since the first culvert application, Corrugated Steel Pipe has been used in many different construction applications.

Contech Slotted Drain™ is used effectively to intercept storm water runoff from wide, flat areas such as parking lots, municipal streets, highways, and airport runways and taxiways. In these installations, the slotted drain is placed transverse to the direction of storm water flow or snow melt runoff. The open grate intercepts all the flow uniformly along the entire length of the drain.

Over the past 12 months, the entire construction industry has experienced unprecedented raw material increases in both underground piping and vertical building.
