Does Valmont-Newmark offer protective coatings for the embedded section? Under what conditions would you recommend this coating?
A. Valmont-Newmark offers a 100% solids polyurethane coating for below grade protection when it is required. This product replaces the traditional coal tar epoxies and has been successfully used in the transmission industry. The need for below grade protection needs to be determined by the utility as it depends on a number of factors such as how well drained the soil is, and the corrosion potential in the soil. Experience with galvanized ground rods, lighting poles, or transmission/substation structures in the area can be helpful in determining coating requirements.
