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.

Components

The sculpture was designed to fit in the galvanizers kettle. The sculpture was made with the forethought of the Hot Dip Galvanizing process with consideration to the size, possible warping and placement of holes for drainage, all for an outstanding galvanizing and 2-part epoxy paint finish. 

The goal was to take steel, a rigid hard material, and give it a sense of movement and fluidity. The sculpture is galvanized and coated in 2-part epoxy blue and brown finish. The architect likes to use bright colors to make their work stand out from the landscape. The galvanizer has been working closely with the design team throughout the project for a seamless experience, culminating in a lasting impact due to the durability and corrosion performance of the Hot Dip Galvanized coating.
