Golden Giant Building Systems and the Egg Processing Company designed a state-of-the-art egg processing facility in western Ohio. The egg processing company, one of the largest privately owned and operated egg processing facilities in the Midwest, houses over two million chickens on the farm. They produce approximately 145,000 dozen eggs per day, that totals over 37 million eggs per year. It’s a fully automated facility from start to finish, quite a site to behold. The automated equipment washes and sanitizes the eggs and then stored at the processing plant. The egg is then transported to either the shell egg market or the egg products market. Each stage of this module, time and temperature variables are key. The ventilation system makes the difference, optimal climate temperature and relative humidity levels in the barn ensures a comfortable and consistent living environment for the laying hens, better egg production, and good animal health.

As mentioned earlier a 700,000 lb. project that took approximately 18 months to galvanize and install. The galvanizer worked closely with Golden Giant Building Systems to meet their scheduling demands. Inside sales / Plant Manager and Operations Manager effectively navigated the galvanizing of material for on-time deliveries. The constant communication made this project a success, based on the project results between galvanizer and Golden Giant, the next 400,000 lb. phase is coming to the galvanizer in December of 2024.

Protecting America's Infrastructure One Dip at a Time

Deed's Point Pedestrian Bridge

The new bridge replaces a structure that rusted from the inside and was shut down a couple of years ago and removed because it was deemed unsafe. The new bridge is expected to last about 75 years ― or about 5 times longer than the structure it replaces, officials said.

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.

Cage Free Chicken Building

Nucor Building Systems and Henning Companies worked together to build a 1350-ton Chicken Layer Facility. The building is state-of-the-art cage free and conventional pullet and layer barns with an inline breaking facility.

McDonald's Solar Canopy

There was only one logical option for protecting the steel on this project: hot-dip galvanizing. Lake effect snow and road salts are only a few of the things the McDonalds Solar Canopy will be exposed to over the years.
