Southern Galvanizing Company

When the kettle failed, we had to literally scoop out as much molten zinc as possible and store it in metal drums. The reason we had to do this was to reduce the overall weight of the kettle and the zinc content in it, enabling us to ultimately be able to safely lift it out of the pit. Otherwise, it would have been too heavy.

It ain't pretty, but we did what we had to do with the resources we had available at the time.

I am pleased to report our damaged galvanizing kettle has finally been lifted out of the pit. Not a small undertaking, to say the least. Now we can turn our attention to repairing the pit itself, extracting the thousands of pounds of leaked zinc in it, with the ultimate goal of installing the new kettle, filling and melting new zinc, and then returning to "normal". Thank you for your continued patience and understanding. We're working as quickly as possible, under the circumstances, to get back up and running.
