Coordinate fabrication and coating
For structural steelwork, galvanizing decisions should be coordinated with the structural design. Fabrication sequence, welded or bolted connections and assembly arrangements affect coating planning. Structural calculations belong to the engineering design, while galvanizing provides corrosion protection. Defining both scopes in the technical file clarifies responsibilities.
Connection and assembly details
Review connection tolerances and contact surfaces before fabrication. Hollow sections, overlaps and inaccessible spaces require specific consideration. Site changes involving cutting or welding can affect the coating. Sharing drawing revisions and assembly sequence with the galvanizing plant in good time is therefore important.
Prepare for site delivery
Component marks should match the shipping list. Packing for the assembly sequence can reduce searching and repeated handling on site. Include inspection documents, any repair records and storage information in the delivery file. When considering Galmetsan’s structural steel and galvanizing services, clarify fabrication, coating and logistics as distinct scope items.
Arranging batches around assembly sequence
A platform project may use columns, main beams, secondary members and connections at different assembly stages. Correct shipment grouping matters alongside coating completion. A missing small connector can delay installation of much larger components. Set and assembly-group information in the component list makes these dependencies visible. If a component needs rework, track its shipment group. This helps plan galvanized structural steelwork as complete assemblies rather than tonnage alone.
