Galvini in KG Speu on the 34KM stone used to be the only one 5-years ago. Not sure if its still there or if any others are open now.

I've never been in to check, but the sign is still there.

I live 10km away, and regularly pass there for work. If you want I can pop in 1 day and ask. You have to tell me what you want. Or can get a number.

Far less satisfactory that it is, we have decided to cold galv the main frame as it is currently being built in Siem Reap.
But for another project a hot dip zinc galvanizer in either the Seam Reap area or north-eastern Phnom Penh would be good to know of.

What ya building?

Hello YTP.

Building a fast-fire/fast cool-down ceramics kiln.
Metal frame will last for decades if hot dip galvanized in zinc.
Products of high temperature combustion not conducive to unprotected steel frames.
Frame/skeleton already built and awaiting the designer from Australia later in April to arrive and complete the project.
All other components procured from outer western Bangkok and in situ.
This is an entirely new kiln concept for Cambodia although in use in Australia.

Hope to build a far larger one in Kg Chhnang in 2018/2019.

Did you ever find a galvaniser?

No. Never did find a real galvanizer.

And thanks to Covid-19 we have lost the momentum and won't be proceeding with a large community use fast-fire kiln in Kg Chhnang, or at least not in the foreseeable future. Border closures with Thailand don't help either as certain critical components are made there, or their Chinese made but cheaper equivalents are stocked in Thailand, which has very many kilns for a very wide range of industrial applications. Kiln technology and efficiency has come a very long way in recent years.

Keep the faith OML!

If later it can happen, it will be you, and all your stakeholders of course, who will make it happen.

So, (yes, easy for me to say, but) enjoy the Covid break, then persevere.

Good luck!
