BENELUX TROPHY FOR HOT DIP GALVANIZING 2023

We cordially invite you to enter your project for the Benelux Trophy for Hot-dip Galvanization (BTTV) 2023.

With this competition Zinkinfo Benelux wants to show a sample of applications of hot-dip galvanizing. Hot-dip galvanizing offers designers and their clients many advantages. Especially the long life and low maintenance are important assets of this preservation system. Moreover, designers appreciate the beautiful aging process of hot-dip galvanized steel which gives it that typical natural patina over the years.

Three categories

In line with the philosophy of SEATTLE ZINC the BTTV Trophy distinguishes between three categories:

1. Functional galvanizing: 
The choice of discontinuous hot-dip galvanizing was motivated almost exclusively by the functional qualities of the hot-dip galvanizing layer. Longevity through optimal corrosion resistance and maintenance-free nature of hot-dip galvanizing were the deciding factors.

2. Aesthetic galvanizing: 
In addition to functional requirements, there were also aesthetic expectations/requirements that the hot-dip galvanized steel had to meet. The architect/client chose the typical patina of galvanized steel that blends perfectly with other materials and the environment.

3. Duplex :
Galvanizing + coating (wet paint or powder)

The jury also awarded the "Circular Construction" prize for a project in which the principles of circular construction were applied as consistently as possible.

Jury

An independent jury selects the nominees and laureates and awards the prizes.
