Jackson Tube Service is located in Piqua, Ohio and their pledge is building for the future, which is to communicate quality, durability and longevity. The project was to freshen up the world globe sculpture located in front of their office by stripping and hot-dip galvanizing it. The sculpture consists of hundreds of pieces steel tubing, and nearly all the tubing used in the construction came from Jackson Tube Service and was fabricated in 1996 by Indian Creek Fabricators in Tipp City, Ohio.
Originally, the continents were powder coated, which did not work out well, then they were galvanized in 2001 / 2002. This year, they decided to refresh the entire sculpture and strip and galvanize the continents once again. Special handling of each piece of the sculpture was necessary through all phases of the project: disassembling, cleaning and hot-dip galvanizing. We took extreme care in shipping the 23 weldments on multiple pallets back to Jackson Tube Service on our truck to ensure better handling of the sculpture so that each piece would not bend, dent or get misshaped in any way once it was hot-dip galvanized.
