Galvanizers Association has educated and informed professionals within the construction industry via the provision of RIBA CPD (Continuing Professional Development) Presentations that the Association has been providing for well over 25 years.
Galvanizers Association were founder members of the RIBA CPD Providers Network and work closely with RIBA for new generations within the industry. The CPDs offered in Ireland are also recognised by RIAI and approved by Engineers Ireland.
Galvanized Steel and Sustainable Construction: Solutions for a Circular Economy
Galvanizers Association in collaboration with European General Galvanizers Association have produced a new guide on the circular economy aimed at professionals in the construction industry who are interested in circular design.
The publication showcases the best of circular building projects from across Europe.
It clearly illustrates how designing with circular principles in mind greatly reduces waste, maintenance and carbon burdens, whilst optimising the use of raw materials and existing products.
CASE STUDIES
Galvanised steel is all around us and plays a vital role in contruction, transport, agriculture and utilities.

Hot dip galvanizing corrosion map
This map provides data for the atmospheric corrosion rate of hot dip galvanizing. Search for a location and hover over the 10 km grid to obtain the corrosion rate. The map legend can be used to find the average life of an 85 µm coating within the area.
| Corrosion rate key | |||||
| Average Corrosion Rate(µm/year) | 0.5 | 1 | 1.5 | 2 | 2.5 |
| Average Life of 85µm galvanized coating(years) | 170 | 85 | 57 | 43 | 34 |
Average background corrosion rates for zinc. Each grid square is 10km².
