Protection continues after galvanizing
Appropriate storage helps preserve the delivered galvanized surface. Moisture can become trapped between wet components packed tightly together. Storage planning should allow water to drain and air to circulate between pieces. Consider packing together with transport conditions: a cover that traps moisture is not, by itself, an adequate storage solution.
Stacking and delivery planning
Keeping components off the ground, selecting support points and matching the stack arrangement to their geometry are useful steps. Review contact points during securing and lifting. Long sections and small connection components may require different packing arrangements. Preparing unloading equipment and storage space at the destination can reduce unnecessary additional handling.
What should be checked on arrival?
Compare component quantities, labels and visible coating condition with delivery documents. Record the location and extent of damage or white staining; do not accept or reject material on colour alone. Consult the technical team. Sharing the expected delay between delivery and installation helps clarify packing and storage expectations with Galmetsan in advance.
Account for waiting time on site
If material for a two-week assembly programme arrives in one shipment, some components will wait on site. Keeping the first required parts accessible may reduce reopening and moving other packages. Check the storage area for rainwater, ground contact and site traffic. If packages become wet, assess whether moisture is trapped inside. This does not promise a particular coating lifespan; it aims to avoid unnecessary exposure and handling. Reassess storage arrangements when site conditions change.
