Steel: 55 tons | HDG: 55 tons

Components

Structural Steel consisting of HSS Tube Columns, Beams, and fabricated plate tube supports.

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. Wear and tear from endless McDonalds drive-thru traffic and the potential for contact with vehicles in a congested parking lot will put any steel coating to the test.

The long life expectancy and sacrificial properties of zinc made hot-dip galvanizing the best choice to keep this high profile project looking good for the decades to come. It's electricity from solar power, heating, and cooling from geothermal technology and electric vehicle charging stations are just part of what makes this the most environmentally friendly restaurant in the world. The sustainable properties of hot-dip galvanizing made for an easy decision when specifying this project.

Protecting America's Infrastructure One Dip at a Time

Ridge Avenue World War One Memorial Bridge

This project was publically funded and a controversial expense for the County. The DOT agreed to the Bridge, however the County wanted it to be a Memorial, to replace the World War I "Artillery Bridge" that had been close and removed years earlier.

Westfield Montgomery Mall Transit Center

The project started in the early spring of 2016 and they needed a coating they could work with in the cold, or wet weather of the Mid-West. The County has been using galvanized steel on their local bridges and they knew the performance and cost savings it would have.

Eastern Trail Bridge

This is a pedestrian bridge that goes from a public park to an elementary school across the Maine Turnpike and enables the school children to go between the school and the playground safely.

Our Company has galvanized steel for this group in the past in multi-state areas of the United States.
