How can I repair floor plate warped from hot dip galvanising?
(OP)
Hi,
We have has some stairs come back from the galvaniser with significant warping in the landing floor plate.
Is there any way to try and flatten these waves out to make it a bit less noticable?
Cheers

Are the waves showing us that there are joists running crosswise?

We always galvanize plates like that loose from their structures, then attach with countersunk fasteners. Others may have more economical suggestions.

In hindsight we should have specified that the floor plate was galvanised separately and not quenched, then attached later (either welded or bolted).
However shouldn't this be the fabricators responsibility? They are the so called 'experts'. There are plenty of stairs that have been galvanised without warping.
The plate is only 1100 wide. There isn't actually joists running under all of the waves.
Next time we will add stiffeners in the other direction, or get them to galv the plate separately but this time we need to get it fixed.
