GALVANIZING
Birtley Galvanising achieves the finest quality hot-dip galvanise zinc protective coating to BS EN ISO 1461 (BS729) in our new "State of the Art Technology" plant. Opened in 1996, this plant processes steel products using a computer controlled fully automated handling system which ensures accurate pre-treatment and regulated dipping speeds. Rigid control of the chemical strength and performance of the degrease, pickle and flux tanks ensures consistency and quality in the final product.

Our highly trained staff and workforce offer a fast, efficient service backed up by excellent technical management expertise. Computerised weigh-bridge facilities ensure quick turnaround of vehicles in and out of our holding yard and we have a collection and delivery service if required. Standard regular turnaround is 48 hours with a premier 24 hour service available for those rush jobs.

With our large bath we have capacity for an extensive range of products. A BSI registered company and members of the UK Galvanises Association, we are approved galvanizers for major structural steel fabrications, shipbuilders, oil platforms, railways, agricultural work, fencing, highway products, lighting columns and decorative forged artwork. Facilities are available for shot blasting of components where coating thickness and finished appearance need to satisfy special requirements.
