Galvanised Reinforcing Steel and Accessories in Buildings
Reinforcing steel makes up only perhaps 1.5% to 2.5% of the structural cost of any building project (less, if one considers the total project cost) , yet inappropriate or improper use of the material in building projects results in accelerated deterioration of the structure, significant remediation costs, lowered expected life and increased customer dissatisfaction. Galvanising of certain steel reinforcing and accessories in appropriate locations, combined with proper design, detailing and construction practices offers advantages well in excess of the increased cost of the galvanising.
