Atlantic Power & Infrastructure Corp. (OTCMKTS:AWSL)

TAMPA, FL, UNITED STATES, April 21, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Atlantic Power & Infrastructure Corp. (API) (OTC: AWSL) today announced that its wholly owned subsidiary, K.B. Industries, Inc. (KBI), will conduct a live, on site installation demonstration of its flagship sustainable infrastructure technologies — KBI Flexi^® Pave and KBI Perma Drive™ — on April 29, 2026, at the Suwannee County Historical Commission in Live Oak, Florida.

Hosted in partnership with the City of Live Oak, the Community Redevelopment Agency, and the Suwannee County Historical Commission, the event will showcase the real time installation of KBI Perma Drive while also allowing attendees to walk a completed section of the Phase I project surfaced with newly installed KBI Flexi^® Pave.

The construction work for this project is being performed by Custom Park Surfacing LLC, a Certified KBI Flexi^® Pave Installer, ensuring the materials are installed to KBI’s technical and performance standards.

Nicholas Frigiola, Director of the City of Live Oak’s Community Redevelopment Agency, emphasized the City’s strategic selection of KBI’s materials for the Heritage Square Phase I improvements, stating:
“For the Heritage Square Phase 1 project, we intentionally selected KBI’s Perma Drive and Flexi^® Pave products because they combine proven local performance with forward looking sustainability benefits, delivering a durable, attractive surface that naturally manages stormwater and supports long term cost savings. We’ve used these products before, most notably at Millennium Park in downtown Live Oak, and based on how well they’ve held up over time and the quality of their appearance, we knew they were the right choice for this high visibility infrastructure improvement. KBI Flexi^® Pave’s flexible, porous surfacing allows significant groundwater recharge and resists cracking and settlement far better than traditional materials, making it an ideal solution for the parking and access infrastructure planned in Phase 1. In addition, by incorporating recycled materials and a permeable surface, this project sets a new standard for community development in Live Oak, giving us infrastructure that’s built to last and better for the environment.”

Kevin Bagnall, Founder, CEO and Chairman of K.B. Industries and inventor of KBI Flexi^® Pave, expressed appreciation for the City’s continued trust in KBI’s technologies, stating:
“We greatly appreciate Director Frigiola’s recognition of the long term performance and sustainability advantages our materials provide. KBI Flexi^® Pave has a 25 year pedigree as the world’s original flexible, porous paving solution, and its durability in real world municipal environments continues to validate the vision we had when we first developed it. Seeing communities like Live Oak return to KBI solutions for major redevelopment projects underscores the value of infrastructure that performs, lasts, and supports environmental stewardship.”

API and KBI invite community members, public works professionals, engineers, planners, local officials, and all interested parties to attend this live demonstration. The event offers a unique opportunity to see sustainable infrastructure technologies in real world conditions, speak directly with installation experts, and experience the performance of KBI Flexi^® Pave and KBI Perma Drive™ firsthand.
