Substitution Opportunities For Aluminium In The Construction And Infrastructure Market

Published in

2023

The International Aluminium Institute (IAI) commissioned DMM Advisory Group to look into the substitution opportunities that exist for aluminium in the construction and infrastructure market.

Aluminium is a key material in the construction and infrastructure markets based on its light weight, relative strength, longevity, low maintenance and conductivity. It is the only material that can deliver the combination of light weight and stability required for the panelling and frames of infrastructural designs. 

The findings of the study are now available in this downloadable report.

A close-up of a building facade featuring vertically arranged, wavy metal panels highlights the expert aluminium construction. The pattern creates an undulating, almost wave-like effect on the smooth, silver surface of the structure. The design is modern and abstract.
