3 2013 CONTENTS301. SPECIFIERS MANUAL FOURTH EDITIONI ndustrial Galvanizers Corporation (IGC) operates nine galvanizing plants around Australia, ranging in size from large structural galvanizing facilities to specialised small plants designed to process small Australian galvanizing Division has galvanized in excess of million tonnes of steel products in Australia since its first plant was commissioned in 1965 and is recognized for its ability to handle complex and difficult projects, as well as routine experience has been collated in the SPECIFIERS Design MANUAL , to assist those involved in the design of steel products and projects to better understanding the galvanizing process and allow the most durable and cost-effective solutions to be delivered to these products and projects.

4 All sections of this Fourth Edition have been revised to provide additional technical information related to the use of hot dip galvanized company s staff in all these locations will be pleased to assist with advice on design and performance of hot dip galvanized coatings and products. Contact details for each of these locations are located elsewhere in this edition of the Industrial Galvanizers SPECIFIERS MANUAL has been produced in both html and .pdf formats for ease of access and distribution and all documents in the MANUAL are in .pdf format and can be printed if paper documents are SPECIFIERS MANUAL is also accessible in its entirety on the company s web site at : Industrial Galvanizers Corporation Pty Box 191, Carole ParkQLD 4300 AUTHOR: John Robinson Mount Townsend Solutions Pty Ltd Email: Alex Spillett Industrial Galvanizers Corporation Pty AND DESIGN: Nodding Dog Design Ph: 02 4961 5027 Web: OF LIABILITY.

7 Additional special galvanizing facilities for galvanizing small parts (centrifuge plants) are located with the structural galvanizing facilities in Brisbane, Sydney and plant provides transport services to customers with a fleet of table-top trucks and sales staff at each plant location can provide advice on designing fabrications for galvanizing , and will provide design literature on request, free of Galvanizers also provides a comprehensive technical service through its web site at As well as having a large database of specific galvanizing and anti-corrosion design and specification information.

8 The site has a contact facility where technical questions on project specific galvanizing issues can be dealt with directly by one of the division s technical Galvanizers has developed a Corrosion Mapping System, which can also be accessed through the Industrial Galvanizers web page. The Corrosion Mapping System allows accurate assessment of corrosivity (and the durability of galvanized coatings) using proprietary CSIRO atmospheric modeling technology to define the corrosivity of atmospheres at any location in strategic location of Industrial Galvanizers plants in major centers throughout Australia allows large and complex projects to be galvanized efficiently through one or more facilities Industrial Galvanizers plant have the capacity to handle very heavy fabrications (up to 20 tonnes) through large galvanizing baths.

9 While plants in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane have specialised centrifuge plants designed to efficiently handle the galvanizing of small Industrial Galvanizers sites have installed heavy lifting facilities that allow full loads of structural steel to be unloaded and loaded quickly. Industrial Galvanizers Pinkenba Qld plant was the first to offer the Silver Bullet Service overnight turnaround on steelwork to be 10 tonne pole section was galvanized using the heavy lifting capacity of the Industrial Galvanizers Newcastle Industrial Galvanizers COMPANY PROFILE5In addition, the Industrial Galvanizers Melbourne plant has a specialised facility for hot dip galvanizing LPG gas of these operations has experienced sales staff available to assist customers with the design of items for galvanizing .

10 Scheduling of work and co-ordination of special requirements for specific company offers a range of special services to customers, including: The Silver Bullet Service where urgent steel fabrications can be processed in less than 24 hours. Storage of completed work to match customer construction/distribution requirements. Packaging of galvanized product for transport and distribution. Coating Guarantees, typically 25-50 years, on specific projects. Custom Coating Packages galvanized coating options above and beyond Australian Standards.
