Electrical, Utility, & Communication

Hot-dip galvanized steel has been protecting our power grid for decades. As the industry evolves new, beneficial uses of galvanized steel have become apparent. Whether replacing deteriorating wood utility poles or building new substations, galvanized steel has become the material of choice offering sustainable coupled with a longer service life than other available options. Contact your local facility for additional information.

Doppler VORTAC and TACAN Towers

Galvanized Doppler Towers Mississippi Year Galvanized: 2013
Galvanizer: Valmont Coatings, Birmingham Galvanizing
Summary: Towering above the tree line near the Madison, MS airport is the Doppler VORTAC Tower and TACAN Tower. The VORTAC and TACAN towers will be used by all types of aircraft as a navigation tool for planes coming into or leaving from Bruce Campbell Field. The VORTAC consists of a co-located VHF omnidirectional range beacon for civilian and commercial aircraft, and tactical air navigation system beacon for military aircraft. The FAA decided to go with a hot-dip galvanized coating system due to its proven durable coating and long life-cycle. The life-cycle cost savings galvanizing will provide over the life of this project means taxpayer money will not have to be spent to maintain or even refurbish these towers, and that money can be used for other needed community or state projects.

Talbot Substation

Galvanized Substation Washington Year Galvanized: 2007
Galvanizer: Valmont Coatings, Pacific States Galvanizing
Summary: The Talbot Substation, located in eastern Washington state, supplies electrical utilities for the region. Because of the structures exposure to the elements, hot-dip galvanizing was chosen to protect the substation from corrosion. By doing so, the substation will not have costly downtime issues or maintenance repairs. Once a substation is energized, it is extremely difficult to service repairs on due to the dangers of electricity flowing through the conductors. Hot-dip galvanizing was selected due to previous galvanizing experience, cost savings, and durability. In all, 47 tons of steel were hot-dipped, included all structural steel, fasteners, anchor bolts, concrete embeds, bollards, light fixture mounting brackets, and all switch operator grounding platforms.

Load Application Unit at Clemson University

Galvanized Wind Turbine South Carolina Year Galvanized: 2013
Galvanizers: Valmont Coatings, Columbia Galvanizing
Summary: This load application unit is located inside an unconditioned building 300 yards from the harbor. The only conditioning will be large fans to ventilate the space to remove excess heat when operating. When not operating, the facility will be subject to ambient coastal conditions. Hot-dip galvanizing was chosen because if a paint system had been used, scrapes and scratches would have had to be repaired immediately, and on a consistent basis to keep any corrosion of the structure from taking place. Galvanizing's metallurgical bond and four intermetallic layers of coating protection allow the product to take the wear and tear and extreme conditions required by testing. The sacrificial properties of zinc also allow small scrapes and scratches to be healed over time providing continuous protection.
