West Virginia Steel and the galvanizer worked well on this project, fabricator worked closely with sales and operations team for a successful project; communication between both was outstanding. Timelines were met on the galvanizing side as was delivery to the jobsite. On two separate occasions material was delivered to the galvanizer on a Friday and it was galvanized over the weekend for a Tuesday morning delivery to the jobsite. A duplex coating will ensure that the steel used in this travel plaza will offer amenities to travelers for years to come. Travel plaza one completed on-time and the second one; Beckley Travel Plaza followed a couple of months later.

“Whether on vacation for freshwater fishing, rock climbing to world-class skiing, golf or just outdoor excursions in wild, wonderful West Virginia; our travel plaza is here to make your trip more enjoyable!!”

Protecting America's Infrastructure One Dip at a Time

Purina Nestle Cooper Steel Green Acres

Nestlé Purina’s $550M pet food facility in Batavia, OH—its first new factory since 1975—will create 300 jobs and feature advanced robotics. Cooper Steel and the galvanizer partnered to deliver over 3,500 tons of steel across 150+ truckloads on a fast-track timeline, ensuring on-time delivery for this massive 1.2M sq ft project.

Connesville Bridge

Crawford Avenue Bridge's $11.5 million rehabilitation project replaced the 65-year-old structure with a 490-foot, six-span steel stringer bridge featuring hot-dip galvanized girders, cross frames, and splice plates for corrosion protection near the Youghiogheny River. The new design includes expanded vehicle capacity, a seven-foot bike lane, and six-foot sidewalk for enhanced pedestrian and bicycle safety.

One uCity Square

This custom steel sculpture was engineered specifically for hot-dip galvanizing with careful consideration of kettle dimensions, drainage placement, and warping prevention, then finished with a striking 2-part epoxy coating in blue and brown. The project transformed rigid steel into fluid movement while achieving lasting durability through galvanized corrosion protection and vibrant color finishes.

Madison Bus BRT Shelter

Madison's bus rapid transit system Phase 1 features 45 stations with hot-dip galvanized and painted tube steel construction, requiring close fabricator-galvanizer coordination for proper vent and drain placement on architecturally exposed structural steel elements. The duplex coating system delivers both required corrosion protection and desired aesthetic color for the transit infrastructure.
