Yanbu Export Refinery Project

Because of the specifier's previous hot-dip galvanizing (HDG) experience and galvanized steel's reputation for corrosion performance in the tropical climates, HDG was the preferred choice to protect the pipe rack steel structural material at the Yanbu Export Refinery. Furthermore, the specifier wanted to take advantage of the low life-cycle cost of galvanized structures. Most of the projects ongoing in Saudi Arabia are for Saudi Aramco, who strictly insists on utilizing hot-dip galvanizing for their projects - this led the end-users to galvanize without hesitation.
