CloseDue to the fact this plant is in an abrasive environment, hot-dip galvanized steel was the logical choice because of its outstanding durability. The project is subjected to constant UV rays, 120 degree plus heat, sand storms, as well as the abrasive conditions created by an aggregate crusher. The galvanized coating is harder than the substrate steel, a definite plus in a sandstorm.
Galvanizing was the clear choice to protect the project in such harsh conditions. The purpose of this project is to provide recycling of concrete products. Because HDG is the most recycled product in the world, this plant is a mark of sustainability in both the product and equipment. More than 1 million lbs of structural steel, conveyor sections, hoppers, and stairway steel were galvanized for this project.
