We ensure our technical quality through our own engineering, controlled production processes, and skilled assembly. At the same time, our quality standards and certifications ensure that we work according to established and tested standards.
At Brink Steel Group, quality means: delivering on our promises, keeping agreements, and taking responsibility. This gives our customers certainty. Not only in the result, but throughout the entire process.
The correct maintenance approach depends on the environment in which the steel structure is located. The international standard ISO 12944 distinguishes between different corrosion classes, ranging from dry indoor spaces to highly aggressive industrial or maritime environments. The heavier the environment, the more important regular inspection and timely maintenance are.
A well-preserved steel structure lasts longer and maintains its quality and appearance. Brink Staalgroep® therefore advises clients to periodically inspect and maintain steel structures. This extends the lifespan, prevents corrosion, and contributes to safe and sustainable use.
Powder-coated steel requires relatively little maintenance, but periodic attention prevents premature wear and maintains aesthetic quality. Our advice: Clean the structure at least twice a year with lukewarm water and a mild, pH-neutral soap. Use a soft cloth or sponge and avoid abrasive materials or high-pressure cleaning. Inspect annually for damages, with extra attention to edges and attachment points. Repair minor damages promptly to prevent rust formation. Avoid mechanical damages and prolonged exposure to aggressive substances. Proper maintenance ensures that the coating functions optimally and prevents corrosion.
Thermally galvanized steel is highly resistant to corrosion and has a long lifespan. However, periodic maintenance remains important. Our advice: Clean with clean water and a mild soap solution once or twice a year. Regularly inspect for white rust (zinc oxide) and damage to the zinc coating. Treat small damages with a zinc-rich repair paint. Ensure good drainage and prevent standing water. Additional protection may be desirable in aggressive environments. Timely inspection and maintenance will keep the protective layer functioning optimally.
