For effective and efficient construction and infrastructure development, protecting metal structures against corrosion is paramount. That's where Corbec Inc. steps in as the leading hot-dip galvanizer in Canada, setting the standard for quality, innovation, and sustainability.

1. Galvanized reinforcing steel is passivated in wet concrete by the formation of an adherent film of calcium hydroxy zincate. In forming this film, the bond strength between the galvanized reinforcing steel and concrete is increased.

Corbec is excited to announce the first in a series of free online webinars. Hot-dip galvanizing offers the best corrosion protection for your steel, whatever its shape or size: maintenance-free for decades and with one of the lowest carbon footprint.

As of January 2024, CORBEC will be diffusing electronically a Newsletter with key technical information, Case Studies, and news updates.

Corbec's annual reunion of corporate staff was an opportunity to share the corporate strategies, direction, goals, and objectives, to be inspired by one another; a nice occasion to meet and spend some valuable time together.

It was an opportunity to have very informative discussions and exchange with members about the advantages, the durability, and the versatility of using galvanized rebars. Galvanization provides the ultimate sustainable and low carbon foot print solution at a fraction of the cost!

A wonderful event was organized to celebrate their history, achievements, and future successes. On behalf of Corbec, a plaque was presented to commemorate their 75th anniversary. We are proud to count ourselves among your partners.

The relevance and quality of the sessions were very impressive. The program was designed to give participants plenty of opportunity for exchange, reflection, and networking.

The Corbec team extended a warm “Thank You” to all the steel Fabricators, participants from the Ontario Ministry of Transportation and Consultants from various Engineering Firms for attending the 1st technical tour of Corbec’s state-of-the-art Galvanizing Facility in Hamilton. It was a successful tour and a networking cocktail that followed.

The Corbec team attended the very productive OSSFA, AGM. It was an opportunity for informative exchange with Fabricator members and the pursuit of collaborative initiatives. Corbec, as supplier member, was pleased to support and be one of the sponsors of this event, as they have done with other events that support and strengthen the industry.

The Corbec Team: Hellen Christodoulou, Executive VP - Marc Burrows, VP Sales, and Tim Melingas, Territory Account Manager actively participated as attendees, sponsors, and exhibitors.

The committee is a centre of expertise within TAC and a national forum for information exchange and problem solving related to transportation structures including bridges, overpasses, tunnels, buried structural culverts, overhead sign structures, and retaining walls.

Congratulations to Arup and the team as they celebrate the 10th anniversary of their Montreal office.
