It is key to reiterate some of the key considerations for the proper preparation and the importance of adherence to guidelines, which are essential for the successful welding of pre or post galvanized steel. These include the proper welding practices for before or after galvanizing, and how they play a significant role in eliminating distortion and ways welded surfaces can be re-galvanized.

This presentation will discuss how the structural impacts are positively affected by using galvanized steel and must be an important part of the Carbon in construction and an overview will be provided of the design applications and solutions that can reduce the global warming potential. Whether it is for transport systems, bridges, reinforcing rebars, infrastructure, housing, etc., galvanizing is an essential solution to meet and exceed design and lifespan expectations and contribute to sustainable design choices.‍

For effective and efficient construction and infrastructure development, protecting metal structures against corrosion is paramount. That's where Corbec Inc. steps in as the leading hot-dip galvanizer in Canada, setting the standard for quality, innovation, and sustainability.

1. Galvanized reinforcing steel is passivated in wet concrete by the formation of an adherent film of calcium hydroxy zincate. In forming this film, the bond strength between the galvanized reinforcing steel and concrete is increased.
