Today we had the opportunity to honor another All-star employee Samuel Soto. Sam is one of those guys that doesn't really have one job, he really does 10 different things and also takes care of the gray areas in between. Aside from being a super hard working guy, he also has a great attitude and a tremendous sense of ownership and pride in his work. Thank you Sam for everything you do at Pacific Galvanizing and making a difference every day !

Great info here for fabricators. These are some of the small details that you need to consider for a project to turn out perfectly when you will be galvanizing.
Do you know what steel “blowout” is? It's a common fabrication issue we come across and understanding it can help you achieve better results in your projects. When two pieces of steel are stitch welded together, gaps are often left between each weld. During the steel cleaning process (pickling), liquid seeps into these tight cavities but can't clean the surfaces thoroughly. When the steel hits the 450°C molten zinc bath, contaminants are forced out at high pressure, causing a "blowout." Whilst it’s quite a fun spectacle, this can leave the tightly welded surfaces and surrounding areas of the steel partially ungalvanized. The solution? Allow a 2mm gap when fabricating your steel sections. This small adjustment ensures thorough cleaning and complete galvanizing of all surfaces, eliminating the need for post-sealing and preventing rust in those vulnerable areas. Have questions?

Another super cool metal sculpture by a talented local artist. We had some fun asking the younger employees if they knew what this was supposed to be. The answers were hilarious 😆 comment below if you know what this is #metalsculpture #steel #metalart #metal #galvanizing #galvanized #galvanizing

Not everything we do is big giant beams and pipe sections. Sometimes we get to do tiny stuff too ! Check out these cool ornamental pieces we recently galvanized for a customer. Although the big stuff makes for good pictures and spectacular online content, we are happy to galvanize the little things just the same.

Here are some really unique pieces we did for Bear Valley resort. These mountain bike racks are designed to replace some of the ski chairlift seats to allow summertime riders a way to get their bike up the ski lift. After speaking with the customer he informed us that galvanizing is the only way that these racks survive corrosion free while sitting outside in the harsh mountain snowfall waiting for summer. With a fresh zinc coating these should last for many more seasons of mountain fun! #zinc #galvanizing #skiing #mountainbike #corrosion #snow #winter DEASONBUILT MANUFACTURING LLC

Check out this anchor and chain assembly that we galvanized this morning. Utilizing our small parts basket line, we were able to galvanize this anchor with about 200' of chain attached all in one shot. We routinely strip and re-galvanize anchors for our local bay area customers which includes the Navy, the Coast Guard, the Port of Oakland and other boat and yacht clubs. Our process is the perfect way to protect maritime assets from the harsh conditions of Saltwater. #anchor #sailing #chain #saltwater #corrosion #anode #zinc #galvanizing #boat #ship #coastal #protection
