Christchurch firm wins steel award
Wellington reporter The Christchurch firm of architects, Warren and Mahoney, has won the 1982 Steel Award for its design of the Wellington shopping complex, The Oaks. Biennial steel awards have been inaugurated this year in four categories. Warren and Mahoney won the award in the construction category and also the over-all award. The industrial category was won by a Hastings firm, Haden and Custance, Ltd, for its milk powder can-handling system. The consumer category was won by an Auckland firm, East Stow Industries, Ltd, for its light but strong trailer which can carry up to half a tonne and can be easily and quickly broken down for secure and compact
storage against a wall. • The primary industry category was won by an Invercargill firm, John Fogarty, Ltd, for its mobile, coal-fired grain drier. This unit is portable, so that it can be bought and used by a group of farmers and moved round a district. It carries its own fuel so that each user does not have to stockpile coal, and offers cost savings of up to 80 per cent by using coal rather than imported oil. It is smokeless and non-polluting. There were about 60 entries, ranging from a steel fisheries research vessel and a steel-framed house to an automatic fish hook, a steel sculpture, and a portable barbecue designed by Form II pupils at Taita Intermediate School in Wellington.
