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.

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.

Golden Giant Egg Processing Facility

Golden Giant Building Systems' automated egg processing facility in western Ohio utilized 700,000 pounds of hot-dip galvanized steel to support operations producing 145,000 dozen eggs daily from over two million chickens.
