CloseThe Bristol-Myers Squibb Large Scale Cell Culture (LSCC), built on a decommissioned Army housing site, is a large scale multi-project bulk facility modular in design for future expansion projects.
In Phase 1 of construction, the pipe racks are exposed to the ever- changing weather of the northeast, and protected from corrosion by hot-dip galvanizing; a solid and obvious choice for preserving the facility. Bristol-Myers Squibb LSCC, citing excellent past results with hot-dip galvanizing, performed Life-Cycle Cost Analysis that proved the zinc coating of HDG would be the perfect choice for a long, maintenance-free life in its environment. The project totaled 1100 tons of steel hot-dip galvanized including the truss sections, frames, and WF beams. The HDG pieces will provide excellent corrosion protection for the mechanical and production elements of the facility that will connect to various buildings in the future.
