1. Pyramid of Steel |
A
new eye-catching gypsum storage silo can be seen
in the Sydney Ports facility in Rozelle, New South
Wales. Constructed for Gypsum Resources Australia
(GRA), the 4,800 square metre store is an unusual
shape and design that overcame some challenging building
constraints. For more information on how LYSAGHT® products
contributed to the success of the project, go to:

2. Funky Retreat with Caravan Style |
The
rounded shapes of 1960s caravans were the inspiration
behind the dramatic design of an upmarket holiday
home in Hepburn Springs, Victoria. Designed especially
for professional couples on romantic weekend getaways,
the home offers luxury accommodation overlooking
a stunning state forest. Find out how designer
Graham Jones used COLORBOND® steel to achieve
the home's unique shape:

5. What Those Steel Grades Really Mean |
There's more to selecting a grade of steel than
simply using the short form such as "250" or "Grade
250" - there are important detail differences
between the different steels covered by these
general headings. This article highlights
some of the different characteristics inherent
in specific types of steels, and also what
some of the common terms used in the industry
are. Read on:

6. How To Flame Cut Steel Plate |
Flame
cutting, using a combination of a fuel-gas and
oxygen, is a commonly used method for both cutting
and edge preparation of a range of steel plate
products. Acetylene and LP gas are the most commonly
used fuel gases for the preheating flame, although
natural gas and town gas are also used. For more
advice on flame cutting:
