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.

Bedford High School

Bedford High School's "Kicking Mule" mascot statue was crafted from over 750 recycled horseshoes donated by the local Amish community and hot-dip galvanized to ensure long-lasting durability at the football stadium entrance. This 715-pound community project was completed through donated materials and services for the 2024 homecoming celebration.

APA Hawaii Solar

The Ewa Beach Solar project in Kupono, Hawaii utilized 280 tons of hot-dip galvanized ground screws to support 120,000 solar panels, creating Oahu's largest renewable energy facility with four-hour battery storage capacity. Hot-dip galvanizing was selected for superior corrosion protection in the ocean-proximity environment, ensuring long-term durability for this major grid infrastructure project.

One uCity Square

This custom steel sculpture was engineered specifically for hot-dip galvanizing with careful consideration of kettle dimensions, drainage placement, and warping prevention, then finished with a striking 2-part epoxy coating in blue and brown. The project transformed rigid steel into fluid movement while achieving lasting durability through galvanized corrosion protection and vibrant color finishes.
