More than a Century of Innovation
Founded in 1908, Armtec has been delivering innovative solutions to large infrastructure and construction projects for 110 years and counting.
We began our business by supplying steel culverts to the burgeoning road-building industry. Over several decades, we made a series of acquisitions including Big O, a leading Canadian manufacturer of high-density polyethylene corrugated pipe for the infrastructure and agriculture sectors.
In 2018, WGI Westman Group Inc. acquired Armtec’s Steel and Plastic Drainage Divisions, along with the Armtec name, consolidating them with Canada Culvert to form Armtec Inc. Armtec is proud to be part of the WGI family of companies. WGI was founded in 1976 by Russ Edwards with a single culvert mill, persistence and a focus on customer service. Today it has grown to over 2,200 talented and trusted employees in 77 locations across Canada and the United States.

Servicing the Building Construction Industry
Our experienced team serves a diverse cross-section of industries, including building construction.
Builders and construction workers aim to protect foundation walls and basement floors from excess moisture. You’re working to create a vapour barrier and air gap, which allows the concrete to breathe while keeping the floor and foundation dry. Too tight of a seal can lead to dangerous mold growth over time—and we know you’d never knowingly compromise building integrity.
Armtec provides a wide range of products and solutions for building construction, residential communities, and new developments. We can provide effective barriers between wet soil, cold, damp concrete, and foundation walls. Together, we can ensure floors and foundations are odour-free and dry.
Armtec team has decades of experience working with engineers, contractors, and project managers. Our configurations are custom-designed and fabricated to suit site conditions. All components are factory-made for easy installation.
Popular building construction products include:
- Platon foundation wrap
- Platon underlayment (impermeable sub-floor)
- BIG ‘O’ High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) tubing
Armtec is pleased to offer a full range of services, including project concept solutions, design and drawing preparation using sophisticated engineering tools, field support and after-sales service.
You can trust Armtec for your next building construction project.
