Solution · Coastal & island sites
Steel for the coast and the islands
Resorts, ports, fish processing and community buildings across 7,000 islands – coatings for salt air and kits sized for barges and island roads.
- C4–C5
- Corrosivity categories ISO 12944
- Barge-ready
- Member lengths
- DDP
- To island sites
Salt air and short cranes
Within a few hundred metres of the shore, salt spray can corrode poorly protected steel within a few years. We select paint or galvanized systems by corrosivity category and design details that shed water.
Island sites also have limited lifting and transport, so we keep members light and lengths within barge and road limits.

Frequently asked questions
Is galvanizing better than paint by the sea?
Both work when correctly specified. For C5 exposure a duplex system (galvanizing plus paint) gives the longest life.
Can you reach Palawan or Siargao?
Yes, under DDP with inter-island transport.
