ZAM steel, or Zn-Al-Mg alloy-coated steel, incorporates zinc, aluminum, and magnesium in its coating composition. This combination provides enhanced corrosion resistance and durability compared to traditional hot-dipped galvanized steel.

ZAM steel offers far greater corrosion resistance, scratch resistance, and a longer lifetime. It is renowned for its self-healing performance on raw edges when exposed to red rust. Rust can disrupt continuity and compromise strength in your solar racking system, making this a significant concern in many environments. ZAM steel is a great alternative to aluminum and is more cost-effective.

Due to these excellent properties, ZAM steel plays a crucial role in ground mounting systems for utility-scale solar projects or solar farms.

Preguntas frecuentes

How does it handle corrosive environments?

The ISO 9223 class (C1-C5) picks the coating - HDG, ZAM or 6005-T5 aluminium - so rust never becomes a warranty fight.

What if the soil is soft or unknown?

On-site pull-out tests size the piles, so foundation rework never happens.

How do you size the structure for wind?

Site wind speed drives member sizing to AS/NZS 1170.2 / ASCE 7-22, and every design ships stamped - no under-engineered arrays.

Will it outlast the panels?

25+ year design life with a 12-year warranty in writing - no mid-life re-racking cost.
