Our materials are of the highest performance, offering unmatched strength and protection, and are the best to use for guaranteeing the longevity of infrastructure in harsh operating conditions.
Meet us at the Oil, Gas & Power World Expo 2025 to learn how Parco Engineers can serve your company with products that maximize safety, efficiency, and operational life.
What is Galvanized Steel?
Galvanized steel metal is steel that has been coated with a zinc layer to prevent it from rusting. The process is called hot-dip galvanizing where steel is steeped in zinc and electroplating where zinc is deposited on the steel using electrical current. The most popular type of galvanization is hot-dip galvanizing especially in the oil and gas industry due to its effective corrosion resistance.
This protective coating makes the material last longer, thus suitable for use in severe and corrosive conditions such as those encountered in the oil and gas industry.
Why Galvanized Steel is Essential in the Oil & Gas Industry Corrosion Resistance:
The oil and gas industry is characterized by exposure to water, chemicals, salt and worst still weather conditions. Galvanized steel offers excellent corrosion resistance to help increase the lifespan of structural components and decrease the need for frequent replacements. From offshore platforms, pipelines, or storage tanks, galvanized steel guarantees that structures will hold their own against these conditions that are harsh.
Durability:
Galvanized steel metal is famous for its long service life. The zinc coating on galvanized steel functions as a sacrificial anode, which means it corrodes before the steel does, thus protecting the structure. In the oil and gas industry where safety and reliability are of the essence, long lasting solutions are strictly avoided and galvanized steel is a proof of this.
Cost-Effective:
The initial cost of galvanized steel may be higher compared to uncoated steel but because of its longer service life and minimal requirements for maintenance and repairs, it is a very economical choice in the long run. In the oil and gas industry where productivity is of the essence, using galvanized steel components is a way of saving on the overall costs of the infrastructure.
Key Applications of Galvanized Steel in the Oil & Gas Industry
GI Grating and GI Handrails:
Grating and handrails made of GI materials are very important in the oil and gas industry to provide support and protection in dangerous areas. These components are produced from galvanized steel to ensure they can endure the levels of fatigue and usage which are typical of oil rigs, processing facilities and pipelines. As for the handrails, the GI handrails are a more economical option, although stainless steel handrails may also be used in certain locations.
Cable Tray Systems:
GI perforated cable trays are used to manage and protect electrical cables in oil and gas facilities. These trays help to route the cables in a safe manner and to protect them from damage which is important in hazardous areas for the reliability of electrical systems. Galvanized cable trays are more resistant to corrosion and will therefore keep the electrical infrastructure safe and functional for a longer period of time.
Earthing Strips:
Safety of electrical systems in the oil and gas industry cannot be achieved if there is no proper earthing. GI earthing strips or strip earthing offer a good grounding option to ensure that electrical systems are well earthed and can easily discharge electrical surges or faults. These steel components are not prone to corrosion even in wet or seawater conditions and are thus very useful.
Structural Components:
Safety is of the utmost importance in the oil and gas industry as it is a sector that deals with heavy equipment, and people who need to be supported by strong and stable structures. Products like GI beams, GI slotted angles, and GI pipes are used in the construction of pipelines, rig structures and other related facilities. Galvanized sheet metal and GI plates are widely used in cladding, roofs and walls of offshore platforms and onshore processing units to offer a strong protection against the weather.
Base Plates and Checker Plates:
Construction and structural support is possible with the help of GI base plates and hot dip galvanized checkered plates. Galvanized steel checkered plates have a slip resistant surface and can be used as walkways, stairways and platforms to minimize the chances of accidents in dangerous working conditions. It is especially useful in offshore platforms and oil refineries as safety is of the utmost importance.
Hot-Dip Galvanized Steel Products:
At Parco Engineers, we take pride in offering high quality hot dip galvanized steel products such as galvanized plates, GI pipes and steel checker plates to the oil and gas industry. These products are designed to provide maximum protection against corrosion to increase the life span of the infrastructure and enhance the efficiency of the operation.
