The History of Galvanized Reinforcing Steel in Concrete Construction

For over a century, hot-dip galvanized reinforcing steel has been protecting concrete structures around the world, helping to extend their lifespans and reduce maintenance costs. From early projects like concrete water tanks to iconic modern-day landmarks, galvanized reinforcing steel has a storied history of durability in harsh environmental conditions. In this post, we’ll explore the origins of this material, its rise in usage, and its lasting impact on infrastructure around the world.
