As part of Louisiana Department of Transportation and Developments mission to deliver transportation and public works systems that enhance quality of life and facilitate economic growth, the Department is working diligently to improve its Rest Area facilities throughout the State. The DOTDs Architects and Landscape Architects blended a contemporary aesthetic with the architectural traditions of the region and the natural terrain of the site to provide a refreshing experience for the fatigued motorists. This corridor of I-20 is utilized by over 38,000 vehicles per day.
HDG coating that would ensure minimal long-term maintenance costs...
The use of galvanized materials throughout the Tremont Eastbound Rest Area allowed the design team to meld the desired aesthetic qualities with a HDG coating that would ensure minimal long-term maintenance costs and maximum life expectancy of the facility. This ingenuity is a model for future public projects requiring cost-effective, sustainable corrosion protection for harsh environments such as heavy interstate highway emissions and the humid Louisiana climate.
The galvanizer worked closely with the fabricator to ensure the highest quality and custom turn time required to meet the tight project schedule.
