Applications
Whatever your application, we have a solution.
Whether it’s heavy haul road arches, portals, stockpile tunnels, stream crossings or crusher walls, there’s an AIL Group product for virtually every mine site infrastructure application. Our in-house technical and engineering teams will provide solutions that ship economically to remote sites and assemble quickly with light equipment, material and labour requirements.
Heavy Haul Road Arches SUPER•COR® Bolt-A-Plate®
We’re big on heavy haul road arches. Very big. We’ve even created the world’s largest! With its light weight and superior strength, our patented Super•Cor® premium, hot-dip-galvanized, deep-corrugated, structural steel plate is a natural for larger engineered structures needing to withstand the heaviest of loads. Our Bolt-A-Plate® standard, hot-dipped galvanized steel structural plate is usually specified for medium-sized structures. Both are available in a wide range of shapes and sizes, including bottomless, fish-friendly arches. They are easily widened with added rings and their surfaces, with multiple layers of engineered backfill just below the running surface, withstand the wear of heavy vehicles without the costly surface and expansion joint maintenance requirements of conventional deck bridges.
Crusher Ramps/Walls and Retaining Walls MSE Structural Wall System
Ideal for remote locations with available fill material, these structures are easily created using our MSE Structural Wall Systems. Made from heavy-duty galvanized wire, these interlocking wall and mat systems provide easy, on-site construction solutions without the need for time consuming concrete. These systems are also ideal for bridge or tunnel headwalls and wingwalls.
Stockpile and Escape Tunnels Super•Cor® Bolt-A-Plate®
Another ideal application for our deep-corrugated Super•Cor® or our Bolt-A-Plate® structural plate products is the stockpile tunnel. Depending on the planned pile height and dead load, both offer excellent strength and cost saving over other methods. A range of reinforcing rib options extend the capacity of each plate product. Your AIL Group technical representative and our engineering teams can help you determine the best corrugation profile and tunnel size or shape for your particular application. Similarly, escape tunnels can be made from either product according to their individual site requirements.
Drainage, Ventilation and Utilidor Systems Corrugated Steel Pipe
We offer a full range of galvanized, aluminized or polymer laminated Corrugated Steel Pipe for virtually any drainage, ventilation or utilidor requirement. In addition, we can supply all of the necessary elbows, couplings and access port accessories. Our Corrugated Steel Pipe will not crack under impact loads or vibrations due to the inherent strength of steel and the flexibility of the corrugated pipe section.
Safety Barriers Guide Rail System Gabion Basket System
According to the needs of the site and safety regulations, we can provide our galvanized Guide Rail System or a convenient Gabion Basket System.

To help keep your operation running smoothly, we specialize in working with your teams to limit or eliminate critical traffic interruption and environmental site impacts.
Portals SUPER•COR® Bolt-A-Plate®
We know all of the ins and outs of these critical structure requirements. Specify Super•Cor® for larger scale applications and Bolt-A-Plate® for mid-size ones. Both offer a wide variety of shapes and sizes to suit virtually any site or mine vehicle requirement. Many different shapes and sizes are available for virtually any application. Your AIL Group technical representative can help you select the best solution for your needs.
Modular Steel Bridges Big R Modular Steel Bridges
Fast and easy, our Big R Modular Steel Bridges come in a variety of widths and spans to handle heavy mining vehicles. These bridges ship and install quickly in remote sites without the need for specialized bridge construction companies. We also make a utility truss bridge to carry conveyors or large pipes across rivers or roads.
Abutments MSE Structural Wall System Bolt-A-Bin®
Our MSE Structural Wall Systems and Bolt-A-Bin® System create cost-effective on-site abutments and walls. Bolt-A-Bin® is a cellular bin-type of retaining wall system available in a variety of bin sizes for vertical or battered applications.
Overcasts and Conveyor Covers Bolt-A-Plate® Corrugated Steel Pipe
Our products have covered a lot of ground on these critical arterial applications since 1965. According to the required size and specifications, overcasts and conveyor covers can be made from various shape profiles in Bolt-A-Plate® or Corrugated Steel Pipe. In some cases, overcasts can incorporate utilidor-type passages to serve double duty.
Geotextiles
We offer a comprehensive line of Geotextiles including woven and non-woven fabrics for soil stabilization and reinforcement, erosion control, drainage, filtration, separation and other needs.
