EVOLVING AUCKLAND by John La Roche

ISBN: 9780927167038 PUBLISHER: Wily Publications

PAGES: 336 PUBLICATION DATE: 3.07.2005

DESCRIPTION: Auckland has the largest population oany region in NZ. It is blessed with two very sheltered harbours and probably the mildest climate in NZ. Auckland has become the commercial capital of NNZ, but this hasnt happened without the innovation and initiatives provided by the engineering profession.

Engineers have been charged with making things, building our infrastructure and keeping it going in the face of rapidly increasing population growth. The basics like water supply, drainage and power supplies are essential, as are the harbour facilities, telecommunications, roads, railways, bridges and airports....

The largest industrial complex in NZ is situated not far from Auckland. Sir John Ingram, of NZ Steel through the very difficult period when the imported plant failed to produce steel from our ironsands, tells his story. It wasnt until three bright young New Zealand graduates, through trials and analytical analysis got to grips with the problems and changed many of the processes, that quality steel was finally produced. New Zealand Steel producing steel from ironsands, is now one of the most efficient steel plants in the world and a major export earner for the country.
