Galvanizing offers superior protection for products and structures against the elements above ground (heat, rain, snow, ice, wind, etc.). But what about protection for items anchored below ground? Embedded products often need protection against the corrosive effects of soil and underground moisture. Below Grade Coating is an environmentally friendly polyurethane coating system for these structures. This enamel-like sheet of thermoset plastic bonds tenaciously to the substrate being protected and provides a barrier to corrosive soils. Valmont Coatings offers Below Grade Coating for both galvanized and weathering steel poles and structures.
