When iron is extracted from its ore, a What is GANZ? fundamental tendency of nature is abruptly The core of the very best galvanizers in New Zealand belong to the association and meet reversed. Unless protected, iron and steel regularly to discuss technology and product improvements to ensure a quality service and will corrode in most environments, slowly finish. We are united in trying to enhance the product and productivity of our industry and the returning to their natural state. support we can bring to our Building and Engineering industries as a whole. Corrosion prevention is an essential factor Our industry body is 23 years young and is based on a technology that is effectively 150 years in the economic utilisation of steel. old. Some have seen us as a market in either maturity or decline, however this could not be Provision of the appropriate protective further from the truth. Ours is a growing market as people become more aware of the green coating can bring initial savings plus push for environmental responsibility and have seen the impact of leaky homes. substantial economies in service, due to reduction or elimination of maintenance and At GANZ our motto is “Galvanizing makes sense and saves dollars”. This play on words is at lost service time, and by deferring the the heart of the Galvanizing offer – Galvanizing is often cheaper and faster to apply than many replacement date of structures and coatings, and even if it does cost only a few cents more to apply, the long-term saving in equipment. maintenance, replacement or repair, the ease of installation and the lowering of environmental impact ultimately save you many, many dollars down the line. In suitable applications, galvanizing provides ideal corrosion protection for steel – no other coating matches galvanizing’s It makes sense! unique combination of low first cost, Please enjoy the CD and all it has to offer, and don’t hesitate to email or call us with any ease of inspection for coating quality, technical question of problem you may encounter - the earlier the better! durability, predictable performance, low maintenance, and resistance to abrasion Jonathan White and mechanical damage. Chairman Galvanizing Association of New Zealand This manual is designed to assist designers, specifiers, materials engineers, consultants, and fabricators to protect and improve their steel products. All important aspects of the galvanizing process and the properties and applications of galvanized coatings are covered. Sections detail the design and specification of galvanized products, fabrication methods including bolting and welding, and the painting of galvanized steel surfaces. Great effort has been made to make this manual accurate and up-to-date, but responsibility is not accepted for any loss, damage or other consequence resulting from its use.
