CloseHot-dip galvanizing was specified due to the naturally corrosive industrial environment of a refinery. Refinería de Cartagena S.A. (Reficar) is owned by Ecopetrol, Colombias national oil company, and they awarded the project valued at $1.4 Billion dollar's to Chicago Bridge & Iron (CB&I).
CB&I provided the project management, engineering, procurement services, fabrication and construction for the new refinery. The project is slated to add an addtional 165,000 barrels per day production capacity adjacent to the facility already running 80,000 barrels per day. Given the value of the project, hot-dip galvanizing was chosen to provide lasting, low-maintenenance corrosion protection of the project for years to come.
