Hot dip galvanizing is a tried and tested corrosion prevention system that has been used throughout the world. As you look around you or travel down the motorway you will see, signs, lampposts, electricity poles, toll plazas, power transmission lines all of which are galvanized. The same is true when travelling by rail. Galvanized steel is all around you in both urban and or rural situations and especially on farms.
