Spanish Hot-dip Galvanized Pipe Project Case

Spain – CHINA ROYAL STEEL, a leading global supplier of steel solutions, has been awarded and delivered quality structural pipes high-end for the largest greenhouse extension project in Andalusia, promoted by a recognized developer of agricultural infrastructures in Spain. In line with the increasing trend towards non-stop growing of fruits, vegetables and flowers, the client requested reliable quality steel pipes that could be used in different climate conditions - coastal humidity, seasonal temperature changes, strong solar exposure and the like, and at the same time allow a fast and stable assembly to keep up with the construction schedule.

Custom Product Solution: Threaded Hot-Dip Galvanized Pipes for Greenhouse Structures

Following detailed technical discussion and review of the greenhouse design drawings, CHINA ROYAL STEEL offered a customized solution with hot-dip galvanized steel pipes with threaded ends that met the structure and environment requirements exactly.Key benefits and customizations available are:

High Strength Base Material - Q235B (EN S235JR): High strength, good ductility and strong load-bearing capacity for providing stable support to the greenhouse frame. It can withstand wind loads and the loads of covering materials such as glass or plastic films.

Hot-Dip Galvanized Corrosion Protection: Every tube is subject to rigorous hot-dip galvanizing with zinc coating thickness ≥85μm, which is able to form a compact, wear-resistant layer to effectively prevent moisture, salt spray and farming chemicals. This treatment prolongs the service life more than 20 years resulting in less cost on long term maintenance.

Threaded Ends for Quick Assembly: Precision-threaded pipe ends (BSW/UNC standard, can be customized) eliminate the need for complicated welding work and enable you to assemble greenhouse frames quickly and accurately. This enhances the construction productivity and also results in the strong and stable connection.

Customized Specifications: Pipes are made to order with OD of 20–65mm and a wall thickness of 2.0–4.0mm and length is 3–6m for application in a wide range of structures, such as main frames, crossbeams, and support pillars.

Application Scenario & Implementation

The main load bearing frame, side columns and roof trusses were constructed from threaded hot-dip galvanized pipes, making up the structural framework of the commercial greenhouse.CHINA ROYAL STEEL gave full professional assistance that made:

1.Production Inspection: A full battery of tests of galvanizing thickness, thread accuracy, and mechanical properties was conducted to prove satisfaction of European standards and the requirements of the client.

2.Professional Logistics & Customs Clearance: Sea transport, customs clearance and delivery to andalusia were coordinated. Full product certificates and relevant installation instructions were given in order to allow a smooth construction on site.

3.Worksite Technical Assistance: Technical staff provided instructions for the client’s crew in threaded assembly construction and structure fit-up field installation of the structural greenhouse frame 15% faster than the schedule.

Project Outcome & Client Feedback

The client remarked: “China Royal Steel's threaded hot-dip galvanized pipes were exactly what we needed. The layer of galvanized offers a secure protection against rust and the threaded ends made the work of assembly so easy. The pipe quality the professional logistics and technical support of CHINA ROYAL STEEL formed the solid foundation for the success of our project. We hope for the long term cooperation for new projects of greenhouse construction in Spain.”
