Does hot-dip galvanized helical piles require special maintenance during winter?

2023-11-20

In general, hot dip galvanized helical earth anchors do not require special maintenance during winter seasons due to their corrosion-resistant properties provided by the zinc coating. However, there are some precautions that can be taken to ensure they remain in optimal condition throughout the cold months.
Inspect regularly: Regular inspections of the anchors can help identify any potential damage or wear caused by extreme weather conditions.
Remove ice buildup: Ice accumulation around the anchor may cause damage or affect its performance. Using a non-abrasive tool, gently remove any ice buildup without damaging the surface of the anchor.
Avoid salt exposure: Salt used to melt snow and ice can corrode the zinc coating over time, reducing its effectiveness. To minimize salt exposure, try using alternative de-icing agents or removing accumulated salt promptly after storms.
Clean regularly: Keep the anchors free of dirt, debris, and other contaminants that could potentially accelerate corrosion. Use mild soap and water to wash away any build-up, followed by a thorough rinse.

While hot dip galvanized helical earth anchors are built to withstand harsh weather conditions, taking these simple steps can help extend their lifespan and ensure they continue to perform optimally throughout the winter season.
