West Virginia Steel and the galvanizer worked well on this project, fabricator worked closely with sales and operations team for a successful project; communication between both was outstanding. Timelines were met on the galvanizing side as was delivery to the jobsite. On two separate occasions material was delivered to the galvanizer on a Friday and it was galvanized over the weekend for a Tuesday morning delivery to the jobsite. A duplex coating will ensure that the steel used in this travel plaza will offer amenities to travelers for years to come. Travel plaza one completed on-time and the second one; Beckley Travel Plaza followed a couple of months later.

“Whether on vacation for freshwater fishing, rock climbing to world-class skiing, golf or just outdoor excursions in wild, wonderful West Virginia; our travel plaza is here to make your trip more enjoyable!!”
