Many factors go into figuring out what type of corrosion system you are going to use on your project, whether it is painted or galvanized. Too often, the only cost analysis performed at the inception of a project is the initial cost. The true cost of maintaining the structure for the life of the structure is generally not figured in. The Life Cycle Cost Calculator gives you the ability to input your job specific data and compare pricing, not only on the initial cost, but on your true Life Cycle Cost of the project over its expected life. This is a terrific tool for Owners, Architects, Engineers and Fabricators.
