We go to great heights to get to the root of problems. Here we are climbing a bridge in Massachusetts to inspect for coating damage. We sampled the subject at various exposure points, diagnosed the issue at hand within a couple of days and submitted our report which included suggestions for improved internal testing and remedial action. |

Galvanizing Consultants, Inc. (GCI) is your single source for independent hot dip galvanizing (HDG) information, support and assistance. Are you aware that 3.1% of the US GDP (Gross Domestic Product) is earmarked toward preservation and renovation of bridges, tunnels, building structures, road signage/barriers, etc? That’s $300,000,000,000 per year according to the National Association of Corrosion Engineers. A combination of factors can be pointed to as for why this twelve-figure line item exists in our national budget however, we focus on the long-term solution…..hot dip galvanizing. Galvanizing, which is the process of preserving exposed steel structures with a coating of molten zinc, significantly extends the subjects functional life expectancy while reducing and/or eliminating regularly scheduled maintenance such as priming, painting, etc. We’re talking about corrosion control. Corrosion is a natural occurrence. We can’t stop it. We can however, delay its effect.

In this case, our international client was concerned with the quality of galvanized structural beams they noticed during the initial framing stage. Our lead Inspector and a Certified Technician were en route to the site the next day. There was a good reason to be alarmed. The structure had to be dismantled, stripped and re-galvanized to ensure optimal corrosion protection. We stood on-site to inspect the product after it was re-delivered. |
