Sabre Galvanizing welcomed nearly 400 guests today for AISC's North Texas Integrated SteelDay Tour. This event coincides with the second annual SteelDay dedicated to the structural steel industry. Sabre Galvanizing was one of four stops taking participants through the life cycle stages of structural steel.Located in Alvarado, Texas, Sabre Galvanizing is one of the largest full-service general galvanizers in the United States. Set on 35 acres with ample storage and staging space, this 42,000 square foot facility is home to one of the world's biggest operating kettles. The kettle measures 65' long x 11' deep x 9' wide, and holds 2.58 million pounds of molten zinc.
