Lakh bridges and about 800 are most important."Globally the top brands in cars started galvanising various parts of the cars including the body to fight corrosion issues.16. One of the rust prevention methods for these structures is to provide a barrier coating by galvanization, galvanization by Zinc" he said. It is an 8-lane cable-stayed bridge, spanning about 5600 meters in length and towering to a height of 126 meters. According to the American Institute of Architects, it is essential to use hot dip galvanized steel, to make such coastal infrastructure decay resistant" he said. It is their direct loss. We are increasing imports but not producing galvanized steel within the country" Sunil Duggal says.5 billion, the material used in the construction project had to meet quality regulations and standards considering an average daily traffic of 37,500 vehicles.
Many countries came together and decided to build this bridge to ensure that it stands tall in any condition."Infrastructure like bridges are extremely vulnerable to rust and corrosion due to their proximity to marine salts and moisture. More than 50% of the route is electrified. There is a focus for building long lasting infrastructure. America alone produced 4. Corrosion reduces the life of rail to nearly half its expected life.""India is producing about 100 million tonnes of steel but surprisingly less than 1% is galvanized, which is just about 8 million tonnes. More than 60% of the cars in India have surface rust which reduces steel strength and the life of the car. However, the same Indian car manufacturers use over 70% galvanized steel for the same models which they export to markets in Europe, Asia and Africa, produced from the same stamping and assembly facilities.Sunil Duggal said, "Indian Railways sector is a major concern since rusting and corrosion of the infrastructure is becoming a worry for safety of passengers. This brought safety to the cars and protection to the environment and strengthened the economy.. Indian Railways has about Rs 1.5 million tonnes of galvanized steel in 2016, which is 30% more than what it produced in 2012. Corrosion eats around $600 billion infrastructure a year which is about 6% of GDP" he says. The fourth largest rail network in the world, Indian Railways, comprises 125,000 km of track length over a route of 67,312 km. But for how many years are we making them sustain is a point of contention."Car makers in Europe, North America, Korea and Japan have been using galvanized steel for body panels for decades and provide anti-corrosion and perforation warranties for a minimum of 10 years."He is of the firm belief that "Indian consumers are not getting it, because they are not demanding for. Experts have estimated losses of almost 4% of GDP per year on account of corrosion which may be avoided if the railway tracks are galvanized. By 1987, what became standard was a 10-year perforation and five-year cosmetic warranty from all the North American, European and Japanese automakers for vehicles sold in the North American market. Almost all the infrastructure of Indian Railways is exposed to humidity, dust and extreme change in climate.
