Kingfield Galvanizing

Kingfield Galvanizing hot dip galvanizes (HDG) steel components for use in engineering, construction and infrastructure projects throughout Australia. Hot dip galvanizing is a protective coating that delivers predictable corrosion protection for fabricated steel. HDG provides three levels of corrosion protection; barrier protection creates a physical envelope, a zinc patina reduces the exposure of the galvanizing coating to the environment, and cathodic protection safeguards small areas of exposed steel from corrosion. In addition to delivering excellent corrosion resistance, hot dip galvanized steel also holds a high tolerance to mechanical damage and is inert to the high UV levels experienced in Australia.

In 2015, Kingfield embarked on a project to create a sustainable, commercially viable Australian benchmark for HDG. Investing in plant automation and best practice technologies to develop Australia’s first state-of-the-art hot dip galvanizing facility. Our plant integrates enclosed zones, automated materials handling systems and process innovation to reduce emissions, recycle or re-use energy, waste and materials throughout the HDG process. Our commitment is to hot dip galvanize steel in a more sustainable manner; to reduce, re-use and recycle our resources where possible, to minimise the environmental footprint of hot dip galvanizing and contribute sustainably to Australia’s built environment.
