Parking for the Future: A Collection of Hot-Dip Galvanized Parking Garages
Hot-dip galvanizing has provided steel corrosion protection for over 150 years, and has been used in parking garages for over 30 years. When it comes to protecting steel from the inevitable onset of corrosion, no other coating provides the numerous benefits of hot-dip galvanizing. Whether it is cost, aesthetics, speed of erection, corrosion protection, environmental sustainability, safety, or all of the above, galvanizing delivers unparalleled performance over other corrosion protection methods.
Developed in 2006, this attractive 12-page publication is a collection of hot-dip galvanized parking structure case studies. Parking Garages are an up and coming market for steel, and specifically hot-dip galvanized steel.
