A Match Made in the Desert: Natina and Galvanized Metal
In the Las Vegas outskirts, just 15 miles outside of The Strip, the Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area is waiting for you to discover its 198,000 acres of protected geological and ecological resources. The views of the Red Rock Canyon, as well as rock climbing, draw millions of visitors every year. In fact, since the early 2000s, the number of tourists has more than doubled from around 800,000 to 2.5 million!
To keep up with this spike in popularity, the Bureau of Land Management created plans for infrastructure upgrades and expansion. From 2015 to 2017, work was done on replacing two major low water crossings with bridges, and three more low water crossings were equipped with flood warning systems. Additionally, the 13-mile Scenic Loop Road and four of its accompanying parking lots were set for much-needed improvements.
In such a scenic and sunny place, galvanized metal would have been glaring. So, on the bridges, Natina applied its proprietary patina finish, and because of Natina’s natural look, the bridges now look right at home in their desert landscape.
