Due to regular process improvement over the past ten years, hot-dip galvanizing has steadily become more competitive on an initial cost basis than other corrosion protection systems. Additionally, because galvanized steel requires no maintenance for 50 or more years in most environments, it is often two to six times more economical on a life-cycle basis, i.e. over the expected life of a project.
Because projects are often complex and comprised of different steel sizes and quantities, your local galvanizer is best suited to assist you with pricing. Find a galvanizer now. However, if on your own you would like to compare the initial and life-cycle cost of hot-dip galvanizing to a number of other common corrosion protection systems, go to www.galvanizingcost.com This dynamic and real-time software will calculate cost based on your specific project input and allow you to assess the true cost of your selected corrosion protection system, now and over the lifetime of your project.
