  1. First-choice option for steel protection

    Perry Metal Protection’s new multi-million dollar hot dip galvanising plant in Hamilton offers a level of capacity and capability not previously seen in New Zealand. Stefan Richter drove to Te Rapa to get a first impression of the new facility that will be operational as of 16 January 2012. It inevitably occurs every time iron or steel, atmospheric oxygen and water come together. Iron oxide, better known as rust, is formed in an electrochemical process on the surface of the steel, and the red-brown colour we perceive indicates that the metal has started to degrade.

  4. Designing storage systems to cope with earthquakes

    In this article Dr Murray comments on the performance of storage systems during seismic events, including the recent devastating earthquakes in New Zealand. Designing rack structures to cope with the unpredictable forces generated during an earthquake requires a combination of detailed engineering, sophisticated computer analysis, and a degree of crystal ball gazing on the part of the engineer into how the storage system may be utilised over its lifetime.
