SteelDay 2011- September 23

The American Galvanizers Association, Members to Host SteelDay Events Across North America


Attendees at a 2010 SteelDay event

On September 23, 2011, all facets of the steel industry across the US will open their doors, hoping to open specifiers’ minds to the endless opportunities of designing with structural steel. SteelDay 2011, hosted by the American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC), is an interactive networking day for the AEC community and general public to learn how the steel industry contributes to building America. Steel fabricators, mills, service centers, galvanizers, HSS producers, and others in the industry will open their facilities, job sites, and offices to offer tours, continuing education credits, and a glimpse into the industry free of charge.

The American Galvanizers Association (AGA), a National SteelDay Partner, will host an educational event in Portland, Oregon. The AGA will partner with AISC to present 2 hours of education at the Portland State Business Accelerator Building (Mt. Hood Conference Room #209, 2828 Southwest Corbett Avenue, Portland, OR 97201) beginning at 9:00 a.m. Architects, engineers, contractors, and others interested in the AEC community will also have an opportunity to peek behind the curtains of five Portland-area companies. Following education, the attendees will be bused to tour the participating companies: Galvanizers Company, Fought and Company, Lampros Steel, Valmont Coatings- Pacific States Galvanizing, and Albina Pipe Bending Company. The event is free to attend, and lunch is also included in the day’s activities.

Is hot-dip galvanized steel considered anti-sparking?

Yes, hot-dip galvanized coatings, like those provided by the batch hot-dip galvanizing process, are considered non-incendiary and non-sparking. In fact, all zinc coatings (except those alloys with 30% to 55% aluminum) are considered anti-sparking.
