CloseThere 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.
