Why did they reach out to the galvanizer? As stated in the last sentence of the intro: “Evolve is innovating for the future with their transport lines. Meeting with the galvanizer started at Evolve in Painesville, Ohio with their Operations Manager and VP of Operations to discuss their need to increase the overall durability of their transporters. Galvanizing the trailer was the obvious choice moving forward; based on the original length of the trailer the Operations Manager for the galvanizer suggested manufacturing the new design into three sections. Proper draining and ventilation were discussed and approved to hot dip galvanize the trailer frame safely and efficiently. By breaking this unit into three sections it allowed for the sections then to be a single dip scenario, which was more cost effective. The next step involved Evolves Operation Manager to visit the galvanizer to see the trailer parts hot dipped, once dipped and inspected it was given the thumbs up moving forward. A final meeting back at Evolve and then everything moved forward galvanizing their first trailer, since the first one another 4 transporters have been delivered and galvanized. Evolve is now following their history of being innovative by hot dip galvanizing their transporters which provides coating durability, corrosion performance and sustainability for many years to come.

Protecting America's Infrastructure One Dip at a Time

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.

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.
