CONTROL AND CHECK POINTS:
a) Fabrication of tower parts in the shop floor: If operations of cutting, stamping, drilling, notching, heel grinding, bending and welding are having
defects within the observable limits as per the specified standards then rework and rectification of tower parts will be done otherwise, the
materials will be rejected with the help of rejection note.
b) Hot Dip Galvanization of tower parts : Visual inspection of HDG materials are carried out. The visual defects are categorized as black spots,
general roughness, pimples, lumps, runs, flux inclusions, dross inclusions, dull grey coating, white rust, blisters etc.
c) If the galvanized materials defects are within the observable limits as per the specified standards, then rework and rectification of tower parts
will be done otherwise, the materials will be rejected with the help of rejection note.
d) Tests of coating thickness, uniformity of Zinc coating and adhesion are carried out and checked for conformance as per requirements of
standards. If the test results are not meeting the requirements the materials will be rejected with the rejection note.
BUSINESS CONTINUITY PLAN
e) Deviations in proto assembled tower parts need to be rectified immediately and accordingly drawings to be modified and issued to shop floor
for mass production. Preventing delays in rectification and modification of drawings of tower parts help in continuing the business without
interruptions.
f) Arrangement of planning materials as per projects enhances the continuity of works without delays. Elimination of stacking of different project
materials at one place will reduce the timing of feeding of materials for cutting operation
g) 100% checking of cleats, plates, bend items, cross arms must be done to ensure quality of the fabricated materials. This helps in continuity of
business without any non-conformities and customer complaints
h) Reduction of excess filing of lumps on galvanized materials will reduce major defects like zinc feel off. This can be achieved by using proper filing
tools, monitoring and procedure thus helping the business to be continued without any problem.
i) Inspection of HDG cleared materials before loading into the container will double ensure the quality of the products to be dispatched to
customer sites thus continuing the business smoothly.

Storage procedure to be followed at customer sites

Stacking galvanized articles closely together for extended periods of time, thereby limiting access to freely circulating air, can lead to the formation of a white powdery product commonly called wet
storage stain.
Fabricated assemblies that fully expose the galvanized surfaces to freely circulating air typically do not need a post-treatment to prevent the formation of wet storage stain. Although most after-
fabrication hot-dip galvanized products are shipped without any post-treatment, the need for a post-treatment largely depends on the fabrications configuration and anticipated storage and shipping
conditions.
The extent of damage by wet storage stain depends on the duration of exposure to the wet-storage-stain-inducing environment and retained moisture. The attack is accelerated when the retained
moisture contains chlorides from seawater, sulfur compounds from industrial environments, or flux residues from galvanising operations.
To minimize the possibility of wet storage stain, consider these guidelines:
A) Whenever possible, avoid nested stacking
B) Provide adequate ventilation between stacked pieces
C) Incline parts to allow for maximum drainage
D) Use spacers and tarp material during shipping if there is the likelihood of condensation or moisture
E) Stagger or cross stack galvanized pieces
F) Elevate and separate articles stacked outdoors with strip spacers (poplar, ash, spruce)
G) Avoid stacking on wet soil or decaying vegetation
H) Thoroughly dry small items that are quenched before packing in storage containers
I) Include a dehumidifying agent in sealed containers
Whenever possible, store material under cover in dry, well-ventilated conditions, away from doorways opens to the environment
a) Ensure the final product is free of flux residues
b) Treat with a passivating agent
c) Remove road salts from galvanized articles
If wet storage stain does form, the objects should be arranged so that their surfaces dry rapidly. Once dry, most stains can be easily removed by brushing with a stiff bristle (not wire) brush .If the
affected area will not be fully exposed in service or if it will be subject to an extremely humid environment, even superficial white films should be removed with a soft-bristle brush.
This allows for the successful formation of galvanized coatings protective zinc carbonate patina.
In cases where heavy white deposit (above) or red stain has formed because of prolonged exposure to or storage under poor conditions, it must be removed and the damaged area repaired as detailed
in ASTM A780. In advanced stages of wet storage stain, the typical white or gray product may blacken. When this occurs, some of the protective coating has been consumed, affecting service-life.
Coating thickness tests can be performed on affected areas to ensure that sufficient zinc coating remains after the removal of the wet storage stain. Where the surface staining is light and smooth -as
judged by lightly rubbing fingertips across the surface -the stain will disappear gradually and blend with the surrounding surface during normal weathering .
