Corrosion of Exposed Structural Steel
Corrosion of Exposed Structural Steel
(OP)
I have anchors for a large zipline that were specified to be galvanized. The contractor didn't do it, and now I'm at a loss as to how to protect things against corrosion without disassembling everything. See picture attached.
Any ideas, the AISC code states that if it's exposed, it must be protected against corrosion. Is galvanizing required, will painting the exposed surfaces only provide that protection?
Thanks for any help

RE: Corrosion of Exposed Structural Steel
Because of the small cross sectional area, the threadbars should be coated ASAP.
If the problem is the anchorage itself, a spare one can be made and HDG. Possibly during a low loading cycle, this can replace the existing.
I'm not sure if I answered your query.

It will not provide the same level of protection as hot dip galvanization and it will require adequate maintenance, but a good paint system is suficient for most conditions.

Just make sure you have the proper nuts for the HDG bar.

If you paint them you will need need to inspect and repair the coating regularly.
