Completed hot-dip galvanized transport trailer showing innovative sectional manufacturing approach

Evolve: World Class Transporters

Hot-dip galvanizing transformed Evolve's custom transport trailers through an innovative three-section manufacturing approach that maximized cost-effectiveness while delivering superior durability and corrosion protection. This collaboration resulted in five galvanized transporters with long-lasting performance.

Bluestone Travel Plaza

West Virginia Steel's travel plaza project showcases seamless collaboration with expedited weekend galvanizing schedules to meet tight delivery timelines. The duplex coating system ensures these traveler amenities will provide durable service for years, with both travel plazas completed on schedule.

Bridge Port I

BridgePort I's 243,600 square foot distribution center on a remediated 60-acre site required 25 tons of hot-dip galvanized steel for rooftop access systems, with proximity to the galvanizing facility enabling direct delivery of large sections for seamless installation.

Pennsylvania Turnpike Road Tolling

Pennsylvania Turnpike's Open Road Tolling system features hot-dip galvanized gantries with duplex coating systems that support cashless, free-flowing toll collection estimated to save over $25 million annually. This corrosion-resistant infrastructure enables efficient traffic flow while reducing emissions and fuel consumption for the 86% of customers using PA EZ-Pass.
Tait Road Bridge replacement featuring hot-dip galvanized steel

Tait Ave Bridge

Tait Road Bridge's 85-foot replacement utilized hot-dip galvanized steel girders, guardrail, and decking to meet critical timeline requirements while providing long-term corrosion protection in the corrosive environment near Otter Creek. The county chose galvanized steel for its material availability, cost-effectiveness, and durability under urgent replacement conditions.
Bus rapid transit station featuring hot-dip galvanized and painted tube steel construction along East Washington Avenue

Madison Bus BRT Shelter

Madison's bus rapid transit system Phase 1 features 45 stations with hot-dip galvanized and painted tube steel construction, requiring close fabricator-galvanizer coordination for proper vent and drain placement on architecturally exposed structural steel elements. The duplex coating system delivers both required corrosion protection and desired aesthetic color for the transit infrastructure.

Pinecrest I74 Bridge

The Pinecrest I-74 Bridge replacement features a 214-foot, two-span structure with hot-dip galvanized composite plate girders supporting cast-in-place concrete decking, designed to eliminate low clearance safety issues from the original 1959 bridge. IDOT specified galvanizing for its proven longevity value in bridge infrastructure, with staged construction maintaining traffic flow during replacement.

Connesville Bridge

Crawford Avenue Bridge's $11.5 million rehabilitation project replaced the 65-year-old structure with a 490-foot, six-span steel stringer bridge featuring hot-dip galvanized girders, cross frames, and splice plates for corrosion protection near the Youghiogheny River. The new design includes expanded vehicle capacity, a seven-foot bike lane, and six-foot sidewalk for enhanced pedestrian and bicycle safety.

St. George’s Bridge

St. George's Bridge's 18-month renovation utilized hot-dip galvanized rails and barriers to replace corroded components, with the Army Corps of Engineers selecting galvanizing for longevity in harsh Mid-Atlantic coastal conditions along the C&D Canal.
