Excellence in Hot-Dip Galvanizing Awards

Innovation, Durability, and Sustainability
Mark 2011 Winners

Hambro
Hambro Modular Parking System

After another year of impressive submissions, we are pleased to announce the winners of the 2011 Excellence in Hot-Dip Galvanizing Awards competition. To select the winners, 80 applications presenting outstanding projects completed in 2010 were independently judged by a panel of architects and engineers.

Throughout the 13 categories, innovation, durability, and environmental efficiency hallmark this year’s selections. Seventeen submissions were chosen. Taking the Most Distinguished title is an innovative portable parking solution called the Hambro Modular Parking System. A wholly galvanized mobile parking facility, this project has far reaching implications for the parking and transportation market, as the entire facility can be moved and reassembled wherever needed.

Also characterized by thoughtful innovation, the Mobile Training Tower was developed to be a low cost, portable solution for training first responders and law enforcement. This project saves taxpayers money by providing a reusable, portable facility for special training.

2011 Specifier Survey
Ask Dr. Galv

ASK DR. GALV

Can I hot-dip galvanize copper or steels that have copper in them?

Of all the factors during the hot-dip galvanizing process and materials selection, steel chemistry has the biggest influence on the growth and appearance of the galvanized coating. Some steel chemistries allow for much better results than other chemistries. (See ASTM A 385 for recommended steel chemistries for hot-dip galvanizing.)
