Article Review - 'Galvanizing As Insurance'

I came across this succinct article on the Azobuild website, entitled 'Galvanizing As Insurance'. It merely confirms how important a role steel galvanizing can play when resisting rust and corrosion.

The particular case they outline is that of the Royal Brighton Yacht Club (which is coincidentally around the corner from me), where of course the marine environment dictates the way in which their buildings are finished.

The yacht club's extension, including an addition 3700 square metres of hard standing for Olympic class yachts, will be largely undertaken in concrete, reinforced with galvanised steel. Whilst the designer confess that the precast concrete panels will eventually be penetrated by sea-water, the durable nature of the galvanised rebar will allow the structure to stand for 40 odd years.
