ArcelorMittal Europe – Flat Products
“Our customer had specified that a galvanised material should be used for the ceiling lining,” notes Marco Savoldelli, Building Division Manager for Sandrini Metalli. “From our extensive experience, we knew that a simple batch-galvanised metal would not withstand the tunnel environment. Instead, we recommended Granite® HDXtreme for this application. The customer was happy with this solution – in part because ArcelorMittal is a well-known brand in France with a very high reputation.”
To ensure the long-term viability of the ceiling, the organic coating was applied to both sides of the steel. “This protects the reverse side of the ceiling from the effects of water infiltration,” notes Marco Savoldelli. “Humidity and pollution are still an issue, this is an internal application for a product that is normally used in external applications in more corrosive environments. We are confident that Granite® HDXtreme is the perfect product for this application.”
