Hot-dip Galvanising: Price and Delivery to Kyiv

Hot-dip galvanising price

Hot-dip galvanising costs UAH 20–38 per kg, which is UAH 20,000–38,000 per tonne, including VAT. Where a batch lands in that range depends on its mass, dimensions and complexity. Prices are indicative, as of September 2026. What drives the price, with a worked example, is covered in Hot-dip Galvanising Cost: What the Price per Kg and Tonne Depends On.

Minimum batch and part size

We agree the minimum batch case by case, based on the bath size and the load on the line. Send us a list of your parts and we will advise. The largest part we can dip is limited by the bath itself: 13,000 × 1,600 × 3,200 mm (length × width × depth). Whether your particular part fits is confirmed when we calculate the order.

Lead times

The lead time depends on how busy the line is and on the batch size. We confirm it once we have reviewed your order.

Delivery from Bila Tserkva to Kyiv

POLYGONAL’s production is in Bila Tserkva, about 80 km from Kyiv. We deliver finished galvanised parts to customers in Kyiv and the region. Delivery is priced separately, according to distance and batch size.

What we galvanise

• multi-sided lighting poles, floodlight masts, overhead power line poles and substation gantries;
• road safety barriers and corrugated structures;
• the customer’s own steel structures, from drawings or as finished parts.

We galvanise our own poles and structures on this same line too; see Hot-dip Galvanising.

How to order

Send a list of the parts with dimensions, mass and quantity, a drawing or photo, and the delivery address. If you do not know something, leave it blank and we will clarify. We then work out the price and lead time.

Price guide by batch mass

Galvanising is priced by mass, so a piece count without a mass tells us little. To get a rough figure, multiply the total mass by UAH 20 and by UAH 38 per kg; the approximate cost will fall between the two results. The rate already includes VAT. Surface cleaning, packaging and delivery are charged separately.

Indicative, as of September 2026. Pole masses by range are in the table Lighting Pole Height and Mass: Table by Range.

Estimating the mass when the drawing does not give it

You can estimate the mass of a steel part from the density of steel, 7,850 kg/m³ (use metres for the dimensions):

• sheet: area × thickness × 7,850. A 1,000 × 500 × 10 mm plate works out as 1 × 0.5 × 0.01 × 7,850 = 39.25 kg;
• pipe: π × (D − s) × s × 7,850, where D is the outside diameter and s the wall thickness. A 108 × 4 mm pipe weighs about 10.26 kg per metre, so a six-metre length is about 61.6 kg.

Add the mass of flanges, ribs and fasteners separately. The cost calculator can also work out the mass of a sheet, pipe, bar or section.

Will the part fit the bath: worked examples

The bath measures 13,000 × 1,600 × 3,200 mm. Put the part’s three dimensions in ascending order: the smallest must fit within 1,600 mm, the middle one within 3,200 mm and the largest within 13,000 mm. The allowance for hanging is worked out in the calculation.

The dimensions are illustrative; the final answer comes after we review the drawing.

How to compare galvanising quotations

The same price per kilogram does not mean the same terms. Before you choose, find out:

• whether VAT is included in the price (in our rate it is);
• what the price actually covers. With us it is the dip in the bath; surface cleaning, packaging and delivery are agreed separately;
• which standard is used and what minimum coating thickness it sets for your wall thickness. We work to DSTU EN ISO 1461:2024, and the values are in the article Zinc Coating Thickness under DSTU EN ISO 1461:2024;
• whether anyone checks the coating thickness. We measure it with a magnetic gauge before the batch is shipped.

Typical mistakes in an enquiry

• a piece count with no mass, when the price is charged per kilogram;
• closed cavities without holes. Zinc needs a way in and air and gases need a way out, so a fully closed cavity cannot be galvanised, see designing for hot-dip galvanising;
• paint, grease or slag left on the parts. These are removed before pickling, see the preparation checklist;
• dimensions checked by length only, while the cross-section does not fit the width of the bath.
