Coastal Qatar buildings are literally rusting from the inside out ☠️
The Pearl. Lusail. Hamad Port. Beautiful—but salty marine air is destroying exposed steel. One untreated beam? QR 50K+ replacement.
7 ways to fight back:
1. HOT-DIP GALVANIZING 🔥
Steel dipped in molten zinc. 50+ YEAR LIFESPAN in coastal hell. Structural beams, railings = protected.
2. EPOXY COATINGS 🛡️
Impermeable paint barrier. 15-20 years protection for facades, handrails. Multiple coats = bulletproof.
3. CATHODIC PROTECTION ⚡
Sacrificial anodes "eat" corrosion, saving your main steel. Foundations + marine structures.
4. STAINLESS 316 💎
Pricey upfront. 10x longer life. Handrails, fixtures, coastal fittings.
The QR 50K mistake everyone makes:
Dirty surface prep = peeling paint = instant rust. Grit-blast first. Clean steel = 3x better coating adhesion.
Qatar's corrosion combo:
85% humidity 🥵
Salt winds from Gulf 🌊
50°C heat accelerating rust ⚡
Nexus QTR supplies coastal-grade galvanizing, epoxies, and cathodic systems built for Doha's marine punishment.
Quick coastal checklist:
✅ Galvanized structural steel ✅ Epoxy-coated facades ✅ Stainless hardware ✅ Annual inspections
Pro tip: Budget 1-2% building value yearly for maintenance. Cheaper than QR 50K emergency fixes.
