Hot-dip galvanized steel was chosen to provide abrasion resistance on the hand rails and counters and to protect the structure from the wear and tear from the many fans who visit the park. The HDG duplex coating was an easy solution to provide a perfect color match for the Cincinnati Reds, and the life cycle cost and corrosion resistance performance will help sports fans enjoy this structure for years to come.
