3. Purlins
Aid BHP Steel Lysaght Expansion |
Building
products rollformer BHP Steel Lysaght is using
a move into new Victorian production facilities
to showcase the performance of purlins made from
GALVASPAN® steel. Cold formed, galvanised purlins
made from GALVASPAN® steel have minimum yield
strengths 60 percent greater than hot rolled steel
purlins. This allows lighter sections to be used
and fixing times to be minimised by using self
drilling, self tapping screws. Find out more here:

8. Did You Know... |
Five
completely trivial but fun facts to boggle your
mind. The theme for this edition of 'S.O.S' is
chocolate. Did you know:
- A
single chocolate chip provides sufficient food
energy for an adult to walk about 50 metres,
hence, it would take about 875,000 chocolate
chips fo fuel an around-the-world hike.
- Chocolate
syrup was used for blood in the famous 45 second
shower scene in Alfred Hitchcock's movie, "Psycho"
which actually took 7 days to shoot.
- Chocolate
has over 500 flavor components, more than twice
the amount found in strawberry and vanilla.
- Chocolate
can be lethal to dogs because it contains Theobromine,
an ingredient that stimulates the cardiac muscle
and the central nervous system.
- The
Swiss consume more chocolate per capita than
any other country in the world - more than 10kg
per person per year on average.
