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.

Stations for phase 1 of the city’s bus rapid transit system have been constructed along East Washington Avenue, University Avenue and Mineral Point Road.  The 45 stations became operational in the fall of 2024.  Each station is constructed with tube steel members that were hot dip galvanized and painted after galvanizing.  Since the steel members are AESS it was important for the fabricator to work closely with the galvanizer for vent/drain locations and sizes to make the project a success.

Protecting America's Infrastructure One Dip at a Time

JPMorgan Chase 270 Park Ave

JPMorgan Chase's 60-story, 2.5 million square foot headquarters at 270 Park Avenue utilized 1,500 tons of hot-dip galvanized steel for upper floors to combat corrosive conditions from heat and moisture generated by electrical equipment. This $3 billion supertall structure is the tallest building in New York completely powered by hydroelectric energy.

SQ Balefeeders

Modular large square bale feeders were developed for 3x3x8 bales, utilizing hot-dip galvanizing for ultimate corrosion protection in livestock operations serving up to 45 adult sheep or goats per feeder. The component-based design enables flat freight shipping and flexible on-site assembly into 10 or 15-foot configurations for various farm operations.

Maujer Street Facade

Hot-dip galvanized Orsogril panels delivered an industrial aesthetic for the Maujer Street building while providing fast installation, cost-effectiveness, and low maintenance requirements. The 3,260 square feet of galvanized panels create functional architectural artwork with coating durability designed to last decades.

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.
