Corrosion is one of the biggest threats to the strength and lifespan of steel structures. The good news is that early detection and the right protection can prevent long-term damage.

Early signs to look out for:
- Discolouration or rust spots on the surface
- Flaking or peeling paint and coatings
- Small pits or rough patches in the metal
- Weak or brittle areas around welds

How to prevent further damage:
- Schedule regular inspections to catch issues early
- Use protective coatings such as paint, powder coating, or galvanisation
- Ensure surfaces are properly prepared before coating
- Keep steel clean and free from dirt or moisture build-up

At GLW Engineering, we provide surface preparation and coating services to help extend the life of your steelwork and protect it against corrosion.

Shot blasting is a process that cleans and prepares metal surfaces using small steel pellets propelled at high speed. It removes rust, scale, paint, and other impurities, leaving a clean, even finish that is ready for further treatment.

Why it matters:

- Ensures better adhesion for coatings such as paint or powder.
- Extends the lifespan of metal products by removing corrosion.
- Improves the overall appearance and quality of the finished piece.
- Creates a safer, more consistent surface for structural applications.

At GLW Engineering, we use shot blasting to prepare steel and fabricated components to the highest standard, making sure every project has the durability and finish it needs.

03/10/2025

Protecting steel and other metals from corrosion is essential for durability and safety. While traditional methods like galvanisation and hot zinc spray are common, there are several other coatings that provide strong protection.

Here are five widely used anti-corrosion treatments:

Protective Paint – Affordable, versatile, and available in a huge range of finishes.
Powder Coating – Durable, thicker layers of protection for harsh environments.
Anodisation – Creates an oxidised surface layer through an electrochemical process.
Plasma Electrolytic Oxidation (PEO) – A stronger, more advanced process that produces hard, impact-resistant crystalline layers.
Chromate Conversion Coating – Highly effective, but rarely used today due to safety concerns.

The right choice will depend on your project’s needs, from aesthetics and durability to cost and safety.

At GLW Engineering, we help clients choose the most suitable protective coating and apply it with precision to ensure long-lasting results.

When it comes to improving safety and design in a space, businesses often need to decide between railings, balustrades, or barriers. Each serves a purpose, but the right choice depends on your project.

Railings - Practical, cost-effective, and ideal for guiding movement or marking boundaries.
Balustrades - Offer safety while enhancing appearance, making them perfect for staircases, balconies, or elevated areas.
Barriers and Bollards - Provide strong protection for people, buildings, and equipment in high-traffic areas.

The right solution will balance safety, durability, and style. At GLW Engineering, we design and fabricate bespoke options to suit your exact requirements.
