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

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.

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.

Smithsonian National Zoo Lynx Exhibit

The Smithsonian National Zoo's new Canadian Lynx and Bat-eared Fox exhibit features hot-dip galvanized and painted round pipe columns with specialized lifting points to support protective netting in an intimate viewing environment. The duplex coating system provides durability against both weather elements and climbing animals that may scratch the paint over 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.
