Starting signal for Benelux trophy hot-dip galvanizing 2021

We cordially invite you to enter your project for the BTTV Trophy 2021. With this competition, Zinkinfo Benelux wants to show a sampling of applications of hot-dip galvanizing.

Hot-dip galvanizing offers designers and their clients many advantages. Especially the long life and ease of 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. The deadline for applications is 21/12/2020.

Three categories

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

–          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.

–          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.

–          Duplex
Galvanizing + coating (wet paint or powder)

In addition, across the 3 categories, the jury will award a Circular Building prize for a project in which the principles of circular construction were applied as consistently as possible.

Book BTTV

Zinkinfo Benelux will publish a book that will include all the projects participating in the Trophy. In this way, a nice reference work which can be used as a marketing tool for all involved. This book will be printed on a large edition and widely distributed to clients, architects, engineering firms, steel erectors and contractors.
