Hot-Dip Galvanized Reinforcing Steel in Concrete

Paul Provost with the New York State Thruway Authority tells us the many ways galvanized rebar protects against corrosion to prevent spalling and deteriorated concrete, preserving our infrastructure for decades.
Thank you to the New York State Thruway Authority for footage from the New New York bridge project.

Zinc, it does a structure good.

Sure looks pretty

Hi there, how the process actually is done? Bars can be galvanized, but what about coils? I assume that the best is galvanize components after being cut and bend, won't it take too time?

aasgnt Why they don't use COPPER. Copper can handle corrosion way more than ZINC.

@@Interestingworld4567 Copper coating rebar would be much more costly

Copper exoands and has other issues
