Design Data development partner AGA holds the Excellence in Hot-Dip Galvanizing Awards each year to recognize the special skill and efforts of galvanizers, fabricators, architects, engineers, and contractors. From artful sculptures to sturdy bridges, these galvanized structures stand strong and corrosion-free all over the world. Award categories include Artistic, Bridge & Highway, Duplex Systems, Water & Marine, and many more.

You can view photos of all the amazing 2013 winning projects in AGA’s Facebook album, then learn more about each project on the website.
