Strong & Reliable: Non-Galvanized Guard Rails for Roads

Q: What are the differences between a galvanized and a non-galvanized metal beam crash barrier?
A: The main difference lies in the presence or absence of a galvanized coating on the steel beams. Galvanized barriers have a layer of zinc coating that provides excellent corrosion resistance, while non-galvanized barriers do not have this protective layer. As a result, non-galvanized barriers may be more susceptible to corrosion over time, especially in environments with high humidity, moisture, or exposure to corrosive substances.

Q: Are there any advantages to using a metal beam crash barrier with a non-galvanized beam?
A: While galvanized metal beam crash barriers offer superior corrosion resistance and durability, non-galvanized barriers may still have some advantages, including potentially lower initial costs. Non-galvanized barriers can be a suitable choice in certain applications where corrosion resistance is not a critical requirement, or in situations where a temporary or short-term barrier solution is needed.

Q: Are there any specific maintenance requirements for a metal beam crash barrier with a non-galvanized beam?
A: Yes, metal beam crash barriers with non-galvanized beams typically require regular maintenance to prevent corrosion. This may include periodic cleaning, inspection for signs of rust or deterioration, and applying protective coatings or paint to prevent further corrosion. Maintenance frequency and requirements may vary depending on the environmental conditions and level of exposure to moisture or corrosive substances.
