Hot-dip galvanizing on an industrial scale is nearly two centuries old. Yet galvanizing remains the most efficient way to protect steel from rust. The galvanizing process is still basically the same: dipping steel in a bath of molten zinc.
Galvanizing and circular construction are like two hands in one. Hot-dip galvanized steel scores particularly well in the various phases of the galvanized steel life cycle: make, use, reuse, remake (= repair) and recycle.

A HYPAR LIFTING NATURE
To make the structure last smoothly for decades in a wooded, humid environment, only one preservation method was appropriate: hot-dip galvanizing. The zinc coating provides unmatched corrosion protection without the need for additional maintenance or paint. Moreover, the natural, slightly matted patina that develops over time blends perfectly with the understated architecture as well as the surrounding landscape. This makes the tower not only a striking vantage point, but also a durable and timeless object that respects and enhances the landscape.
