Infrastructure &
Signage
Durable, weather-resistant aluminum forms the backbone of modern urban infrastructure — from bridge handrails and walkway systems to road signage, wayfinding networks, and urban furniture installations. CANEX profiles are engineered to last.
Infrastructure & Signage
Infrastructure and public space applications demand aluminum profiles that combine structural reliability, long-term weather resistance, and minimal maintenance over decades of public use. Bridge handrails, elevated walkway systems, road signage structures, and urban street furniture are all critical-function applications where specification quality matters.
CANEX supplies the full range of structural aluminum profiles for infrastructure and signage applications — from 6063-T6 handrail sections for pedestrian bridges to heavy-duty 6082-T6 structural members for load-bearing walkway systems. QUALICOAT Seaside-certified powder coating is available for coastal and marine-adjacent infrastructure, while CE Mark conformity documentation satisfies EU public procurement requirements.
Our ISO 9001:2015 quality system and full documentation package support the rigorous procurement and specification processes of public works authorities, infrastructure contractors, and specifying engineers worldwide.

Signage Questions
What aluminum profiles does CANEX supply for bridge handrails?
CANEX supplies structural aluminum handrail sections, post extrusions, and infill panel profiles for pedestrian bridge and elevated walkway handrail systems. 6063-T6 and 6082-T6 alloys are used for structural load requirements; QUALICOAT Seaside powder coating is available for coastal bridge installations.
Is QUALICOAT certification available for outdoor infrastructure profiles?
Yes. CANEX holds QUALICOAT Seaside certification — the highest QUALICOAT level — for our powder coating application. This qualifies our coated profiles for coastal infrastructure environments where salt spray resistance is critical. QUALICOAT Seaside is specified for bridge handrails, coastal walkways, and harbour infrastructure projects.
Does CANEX hold CE Mark certification for infrastructure aluminum?
Yes. CANEX aluminum profiles carry the CE Mark, confirming conformity with applicable EU product directives and structural aluminum standards. CE Mark is required for structural aluminum profiles used in EU public infrastructure projects — bridges, walkways, road signage structures, and urban furniture.
What structural alloys does CANEX supply for walkway systems?
CANEX supplies 6063-T6, 6061-T6, and 6082-T6 aluminum alloys for structural walkway applications. 6082-T6 provides the highest tensile strength of the 6xxx series — typically specified for heavy-load walkway deck sections, structural bridge members, and load-bearing urban furniture. All are available with QUALICOAT Seaside powder coating.
What aluminum extrusions are used for wayfinding signage systems?
CANEX supplies post sections, frame extrusions, and panel holder profiles for wayfinding and directional signage systems in transit hubs, airports, shopping centres, and public spaces. Anodized and powder-coated finishes available; tight tolerances for modular signage system assembly.
What is better for outdoor infrastructure — anodizing or powder coating?
Both are suitable for outdoor infrastructure, but with different performance characteristics. Anodizing (Class 25, 25 μm outdoor grade) provides a hard, integral oxide layer with very good corrosion resistance. QUALICOAT Seaside powder coating provides the highest weather and salt-spray resistance and is preferred for coastal and marine infrastructure. For the most demanding coastal environments, QUALICOAT Seaside powder coating is the recognised specification.
