Designing a steel fabrication project that will require hot dip galvanising?

One question that can make a surprising difference:

⚙️⛓️Have you involved your galvaniser early enough? ⛓️⚙️

From design considerations and dimensions to venting, drainage and practical handling, early support can help influence how smoothly a project progresses.

Explore why involving a galvaniser sooner rather than later can benefit your project....

Hot dip galvanising is a straightforward process, but how steel is designed beforehand can influence both efficiency and coating performance in service.
Planning for galvanising early can help support smoother project delivery.

When should galvanising protection be considered?⚙️⛓️
Before fabrication is complete. While our galvanising process is carefully controlled to ensure quality and consistency, the final performance of your steelwork depends on early design decisions. Planning ahead helps ensure the right level of protection is achieved.

Have you visited Glencadam Whisky Distillery?

It’s always rewarding to see our work become part of something with real heritage behind it.

The water wheel had turned for almost 100 years, helping to create the unique East Highland scotch whisky that Glencadam became famous for. Water wheels were once central to whisky production, powering key parts of the process before electricity became standard.

We were pleased to galvanise this water wheel for Glencadam Distillery: a feature that brings a piece of the distillery’s history back to life. Protecting it for many years to come.

Are you considering the level of protection your steelwork needs early enough in the process?
Galvanising performance isn’t decided at the coating stage, it often starts at the design stage.

Simple considerations during steel design can make fabrication and galvanising more efficient later on.
Planning ahead helps avoid changes once work is complete. Read our guidance here https://forfargalvanisers.co.uk/when-to-involve-a-galvaniser-in-a-steel-fabrication-project/
or get in touch with FGL, we can help you plan ahead.
