All Pond PCS station skids and intakes
are fabricated at our Dallas, TX facility, once complete, they are sent
out to be professionally sandblasted and hot-dipped galvanized. The
galvanizing process consists of chemically preparing and immersing the
steel structures in a large bath (kettle) of molten zinc, heated to a
temperature of 835°F (446°C). Once galvanized, the skids along with
the pumps, plumbing, and other framework are further protected with an
industrial two-part epoxy coating resulting in our signature appearance.
Galvanizing steel is a well-known, time-tested method of inhibiting rust
and corrosion. Our intake screens and station skids are processed inline
with commonly seen guardrails, steel power poles, signposts, and various
other outdoor structures that are routinely exposed to extreme
environments. Galvanizing of a pump-stations steel components delivers
incredible value in terms of protecting the skids infrastructure and the
long-term investment of our costumers. A pure zinc coating on the
rust-vulnerable steel significantly extends a pump stations service life
for generations beyond otherwise expected and purely guarantees
unmatched endurance.
A packaged pumping systems service life usually ends when the skids
structural integrity diminishes beyond repair, and as history
demonstrates, this typically occurs between ten and twenty years of
operation with non-galvanized skids. Pond PCS is currently the only pump
station manufacturer that rectifies this common and premature failure by
utilizing pure-zinc hot-dipped galvanizing. Pond PCS furthermore, firmly
implements galvanizing steel as standard procedure. We are proud to
declare that our structures maintain a superior rank in longevity and
will continue to “Stand the Test of Time”.
