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!!”

Protecting America's Infrastructure One Dip at a Time

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.

Starboard Bike Racks

The Starboard restaurant's iconic shark-shaped bike racks were restored through hot-dip galvanizing after coastal elements and heavy use degraded their original powder coating. This corrosion-resistant upgrade ensures the popular Dewey Beach landmark's distinctive bike storage will withstand Atlantic coastal conditions for years to come.

One Times Square

Hot-dip galvanizing enabled rapid construction for One Times Square's $500 million transformation, with 220 tons of steel processed in just two days to create the maintenance-free skeleton façade supporting the iconic ball drop building's new museum and viewing deck. This "set it and forget it" approach eliminated costly paint system maintenance while facilitating the historic landmark's evolution into a 12-floor visitor destination.

Union City Scoreboard

VS Detroit Galvanizing partnered with RA Fabricating to donate galvanizing services for new football and baseball scoreboards at Union City High School, creating durable 5,000-pound structures that will serve the community's athletic programs for years to come.
