Hot dip galvanizing contributes again to the circular economy.
Mooi ‘staaltje’ circulair bouwen op de E40 in Sterrebeek! Een van de vier portieken de we onlangs installeerden stond een paar jaar geleden nog in Antwerpen, net voorbij de Kennedytunnel op Linkeroever. De stalen portiek van meer dan tien ton krijgt zo een tweede leven. Hij werd gedemonteerd, 'ontzinkt' en daarna opnieuw voorzien van een beschermende laag in zink. Project met de steun van de Europese Unie. #WijZijnAWV #AWV #WegenEnVerkeer

Our latest Article in Engineers Australia - Choosing the right galvanized steel: why a little sheltering makes a big difference. In the wake of Perth's driest six months on record, bushfires have surged, and vast vegetation areas are under immense stress. Meteorologists warn that this drying trend, driven by climate change, will persist across South East Queensland. While dam levels are alarmingly low, another serious issue has emerged for coastal residents and businesses: salt corrosion. Dr. David Harrison from the Galvanizers Association of Australia (GAA) explains how the absence of rainfall exacerbates corrosion in exposed steel structures, underscoring the importance of environmental factors in material durability. Innovative solutions like the Interactive Corrosion Map of Australia, developed by GAA, CSIRO, and RMIT University, aim to help engineers navigate these challenges by providing precise data on local corrosion risks. This tool, along with insights from GAA’s long-term corrosion tests, is set to be invaluable as climate change continues to impact infrastructure sustainability.

New Blog Alert: The Power of Galvanized Coatings! Discover how galvanized coatings protect steel from corrosion in our latest blog post. Why Corrosion Resistance Matters: Corrosion can deteriorate metal, causing safety and economic issues. Galvanized coatings provide a robust shield, extending the life of steel in construction and infrastructure. Formation of a Protective Patina: Over time, galvanized coatings form a patina—a barrier of zinc carbonates and salts that protect against corrosion. Patina Stabilisation: 1. Zinc Oxide Formation: Initial atmospheric reaction. 2. Zinc Hydroxide Creation: Interaction with moisture. 3. Zinc Carbonate Development: Stabilization with carbon dioxide. This process slows corrosion, ensuring long-lasting protection. Durable Protection: From rural areas to industrial zones, the stabilized patina keeps steel safe from corrosive elements.
