The largest international conference on aluminum INALCO was held in Naples, Italy, on 21, 22 and 23 September, 2016. Alex de la Chevrotière, P. Eng. , president of MAADI Group, was participating. He demonstrated that aluminum has not only a place in the aerospace and shipbuilding industry but in the construction of land infrastructures as well. Indeed, his company MAADI Group inc. patented MakeABridge® a bridge that is strong, safe, three times lighter than a similar steel bridge, aesthetically pleasant and durable. The fact that it requires little maintenance make the aluminium bridge competitive pricewise to a steel structure. Mr. de la Chevrotière titled his presentation Rapid Deployment Aluminium Bridge. MAADI Group designs, manufactures and installs aluminum bridges for over ten years thus putting into practice the theory on the advantageous physical properties of this metal.
