Metal structures of energy sector

The special steel structures used in the construction of buildings and structures in the energy sector are often grid-shaped structures. Most commonly, they consist of several sections with a height of 1-11 metres. Besides standard loads (wind and seismic loads, temperature effects, icing and corrosion) they usually have to withstand additional aggressive influences caused by energy equipment. The structural elements are fastened with conventional or robust bolts. Enlarged elements are connected by automatic or semi-automatic welding.

Corrosion protection for these steel structures consists of a hybrid of electrochemical and barrier protection. These coatings consist of the application of zinc-containing primers with a zinc dry matter content of at least 80% and a polymer composition to provide barrier protection.
