Galvanization adds a protective coating made of zinc to iron or steel to help prevent rusting. With this layer of protection, pipes can be used in outdoor areas and can withstand the harm from some of the environmental effects. Galvanized steel pipe is used in many outdoor applications.
Galvanizing is the perfect solution for protecting against corrosion offering greater benefits than other coating systems or paint. The process of HDG produces a coating that is bonded metallurgically to the steel resulting in the best resistance to mechanical damage during storage, transport, and erection. With a straightforward process, you’ll experience longevity in some of the harshest environments imaginable.
Hot Dip Galvanizing
What is Hot Dip Galvanizing?
HDG (Hot Dip Galvanizing) is the process of dipping fabricated steel into a kettle containing molten zinc, preventing corrosion. Hot-dip galvanizing is commonly used to protect steel embedded in soil and/or concrete or submerged in water.

Benefits of Galvanized Piping
Using a galvanized pipe can help you avoid the cost of maintaining and replacing corroded pipes. With galvanized pipe, your pipes can last much longer than non-galvanized pipes, saving you money over time. Galvanized pipes are continuously used in outdoor applications and are recommended for larger construction projects. Today, many galvanized pipes are used in sewage plumbing and farm irrigation.
