We have launched the Galvanizing Awards. Whether you’re an Architect, Engineer, Constructor or Artist and your project has incorporated galvanizing in a sculptural installation or a large-scale development, we want to hear from you.
All we need from you are:
1. Good quality photos
2. A short description of where galvanizing was used

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.
