We’re proud to announce that AZZ earned five awards at this year’s Annual Conference:
🏆 Bridge & Highway – “FARM Bridge Program Project”
AZZ Galvanizing – St. Louis
The FARM (Feasible, Accelerated, Resilient, and Modular) Bridge Program is transforming rural infrastructure by streamlining the delivery of small-scale bridges using modular construction techniques. This award-winning project exemplifies the program’s mission to deliver cost-effective, quickly deployable, and long-lasting solutions for underserved communities.
🏆 Electrical Utility & Communication – “Modular On-Grade Bull Towers”
AZZ Galvanizing – Chelsea
Fabricated for modular deployment on remote sites, these on-grade “Bull Towers” offer essential support for electrical and communications networks. Hot-dip galvanizing was chosen for its proven resilience in extreme outdoor environments and for its ability to meet stringent service-life expectations.
🏆 Recreation & Entertainment – “Bucktown Bird’s Nest Learning Pavilion”
AZZ Galvanizing – Baton Rouge
Perched along the scenic shoreline of Metairie, Louisiana, the Bird’s Nest Pavilion is a sculptural blend of nature and engineering. Designed as a space for community gathering and learning, its galvanized frame, handrails, and staircase provide lasting strength and corrosion resistance in a demanding coastal environment.
🏆 Water & Marine – “Candle Lake Control Structure Upgrades”
AZZ Galvanizing – Saskatoon
Located near a popular campground in northern Saskatchewan, the Candle Lake Control Structure manages water levels and flow into the Torch River. Originally built in 1977, the structure was upgraded for improved safety, functionality, and resilience. Hot-dip galvanizing was selected for all steel components, including platforms, stairs, and hoist structures, offering long-term corrosion protection in a high-use, weather-exposed environment.
🏆 Lifetime Achievement Award – “Harley Davidson Museum”
AZZ Galvanizing – Joliet, AZZ Galvanizing – Dixon
A lasting symbol of American craftsmanship, the Harley Davidson Museum stands as a testament to the power of preservation through galvanizing. Since its construction in 2008, the museum’s exposed steel components have withstood the elements with virtually no need for maintenance, earning it this prestigious recognition.
Hollow structural sections (HSS), pipe, tube steel, and other enclosed fabrications are commonly used in utility, transportation, industrial, architectural, and infrastructure applications. When these fabrications are specified for hot-dip galvanizing, proper venting and drainage become critical design considerations.
