Mandate
The deliverables provided by LDV include:
Review of standards and references applicable to galvanizing and welding;
Analysis of recurring cases of post-galvanization deformation observed in the field;
Development of a structured guide of recommendations covering materials, evacuations, weld design, and manufacturing methods.
