Sustainability Is Built Into Everything We Do
Hadid Galvanizing knows sustainability isn’t a separate goal—it’s a natural part of our process.
By protecting steel from corrosion through hot-dip galvanizing, we extend its service life by decades. This significantly reduces the need to produce and transport new steel—saving both energy and natural resources. That’s true sustainability in action.
We proudly use 100% naturally occurring zinc, and our process creates no harmful VOCs (volatile organic compounds). Both zinc and steel are fully recyclable, and over 30% of global zinc usage already comes from recycled sources.
What Makes Our Process Sustainable?
-
No VOC emissions during galvanizing
-
Maintenance-free corrosion protection for decades
-
Steel and zinc are 100% recyclable
-
Reduces carbon footprint by eliminating replacement cycles

Design Considerations for Hot-Dip Galvanizing: Hole Sizes
When the decision is made to hot-dip galvanize, it is important to consider all aspects of the project, down to the smallest hole. Because hot-dip galvanizing is a coating of zinc on bare steel, the original steel becomes slightly thicker. Typical galvanized coatings range from 3-8 mils (75-200 microns). When designing and detailing tapped holes, the increased thickness is important. Hole sizes in certain fabricated steel products must be oversized to account for the zinc ...
Welding After Hot-Dip Galvanizing
Preparation of Weld Area AWS D–19.0, Welding Zinc-Coated Steel, calls for welds to be made on steel that is free of zinc in the area to be welded. Thus, for galvanized structural components of fabrication, the zinc coating should be removed at least one to four inches (2.5–10 cm) from either side of the intended weld zone and on both sides of the workpiece. Grinding back the zinc coating is the preferred and most common method; burning the zinc away or pushing back the m...
