EN39 hot-dip galvanized steel tubes are widely used in plant building construction scaffolding systems. In this project, Xinyue Steel successfully supplied EN39 standard galvanized steel tubes to South America, ensuring high corrosion resistance, structural safety, and compliance with European scaffolding standards for industrial construction environments.
Project Overview
Xinyue Steel Group supplied EN39 hot-dip galvanized steel tubes for a large-scale industrial plant construction project in South America. The products were used in scaffolding systems to support structural installation, maintenance, and heavy-duty construction operations.
This project demonstrates Xinyue Steel’s capability in exporting standardized scaffolding materials for global infrastructure and industrial applications.
