To include hot-dip galvanizing by Duncan Galvanizing as the basis of design for the galvanizing for your project, include the following language in Part 2 of the sections above:

2.1 HOT-DIP GALVANIZING

A. Hot-Dip Galvanizing: For steel exposed to the elements, weather or corrosive environments and other steel indicated to be galvanized, provide coating for iron and steel fabrications applied by the hot-dip process.

  1. Basis-of-Design: Duragalv by Duncan Industries.
  2. Comply with ASTM A 123 for fabricated products and ASTM A 153 for hardware.
  3. Provide thickness of galvanizing specified in referenced standards.
  4. Galvanizing bath shall contain special high grade zinc and other earthly materials.
  5. Fill vent holes after galvanizing, if applicable, and grind smooth.
