Need to know Our best cities

Darwin Convention Centre

Tropical heat The Construction Trades & Mining Exhibition (CTME), held this April at the Darwin Centre, is the most informative and interactive trade exhibition ever held in Darwin. Apart from the appeal of having 68 exhibitors all showing their wares in the one spot, the Northern Territory’s chief minister, the Hon. Adam Giles, will be drawing winners in a major prize draw for a $12000 boat. The CTME is being run by N.T Fasteners, a leading Industrial Supply house in Darwin, in conjunction with The Construction Supply Specialists Group. It is a fully interactive tradeshow, with exhibitors demonstrating their products providing the attendee with a hands-on experience. Darwin was chosen as the ideal location for the exhibition because it’s both Australia’s front door to Asia, and is also the gate way to the mining boom and the enormous proposed development of the far north and presents unique and immediate opportunities, both long and short term, for everyone connected to and working within the structure of the Building, Mining and Industrial market segments. Because of the nature and structure of the event, the whole of Darwin’s industrial sector will benefit. This is about quality attendance at all levels throughout the industry. CTME is on at Darwin Convention Centre, April 17th 2013. 

Victoria bucks the trend More first home buyers are getting into Victoria’s housing market as the state defies national home loan trends, according to the latest Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) figures. “Victoria is bucking a national trend, despite the decline in new home building activity we have seen over the past two years,” said Master Builders’ Victoria executive director, Brian Welch. ABS data shows the number of Victorian dwelling commitments in January were 1.4 per cent higher than the same month last year. Nationally, commitments fell four per cent over the corresponding period. The value of housing loan approvals were also 4.2 per cent higher in January 2013. 

The Property Council of Australia has released the latest results from My City: The People’s Verdict—a national poll that tests residents’ views on the liveability of our cities—and found that Adelaide residents are so passionate about the liveability of their own city that they have rated it number one. The biggest changes were in Newcastle and Hobart, whose liveability scores both rose dramatically, while Perth saw the largest decline, falling from fourth place to third last. “This is the people’s verdict on their own city—a report card for governments on how liveable our cities are,” Property Council Chief Executive, Peter Verwer, said. “Australians have given their verdict—they want more liveable cities and they know that the performance of our cities is critical for our future economic prosperity. “Australians know what makes a city great and they continue to rate our cities poorly in housing affordability, environmental sustainability, congestion and public transport,” he added. “These results should be a wake up call for governments to lift the performance of our major cities.”  The report also shows an overwhelming majority of Australians support Federal Government action to improve our cities, particularly in investing in major infrastructure and putting in place incentives and penalties to encourage State and Local Government to plan our cities better. 

Product recall: ECHO Electric chainsaw In February this year Allpower Industries has issued a product recall for the ECHO Electric Chainsaw. ECHO Electric chainsaws sold nationally between 1st August 2011 and 22nd February this year are fitted with a non-insulated plug, and pose a risk of electrocution if metal objects contact the non-insulated terminals between

the plug and the socket. What should you do if you purchased one? Cease using the product immediately. Contact Allpower Customer Service on 1800 333 428 or an Allpower Authorised Dealer to arrange rectification of product. You can find out more at www.allpower.com.au. 

Master Builders supports local jobs for local builders Queensland builders and contractors should look out for a second wave of job opportunities as Bundaberg cleans up from the recent floods. Master Builders Regional Manager, Michael Hopkins said that while the frustration of local builders who missed out on the first wave of emergency repairs was understandable, there would be many more opportunities coming up. “We’ve seen this situation happen time and time again, and the same thing happened after the floods in Mackay and Emerald,” Mr Hopkins said. “It is common practice for insurance companies to bring in their own panel of builders to manage the rebuilding process after a natural disaster, and often these are from outside the region. Our advice to local builders is to be patient and keep an eye out for opportunities, whether these are smaller jobs or ongoing non-insurance work that comes out of this first round of repairs. “There will also be jobs for local contractors and suppliers with those companies currently undertaking the repair work. Ultimately, local builders will benefit from long-term flood rebuilding work because customers know that they are there for the long haul.” 

There’ll be work in Queensland for local builders after the floods.

Need to know Welcome respite for construction employment The increase in the Australian Bureau of Statistics construction employment figure is welcome respite for the industry, according to Peter Jones, Chief Economist for Master Builders Australia said there is cautious optimism surrounding the figure. The total number of people employed in the building and construction sector in February 2013 rose to 1,035,300, up 1.4 per cent from the corresponding figure in 2012. “The rise in employment is likely to be closely linked to the mining sector as anecdotal evidence from builders is that industry activity remains quite soft,” Mr Jones said. “The question remains whether this recovery can be sustained given the mining sector is set to peak and the building sector remains weak, despite early signs of a muted recovery in housing.” 

Industrial disputes at seven-year high, says MBA Industrial disputes continue to plague the construction industry, with the number of working days lost reaching a seven-year high. The latest figures from the Australian Bureau of Statistics show there were 85 days lost per 1000 employees in 2012 throughout the sector, a rise of 25 per cent on the previous year. “The productivity of our industry is being hurt by rampant union action like what was seen at Melbourne’s Emporium construction site and the Little Creatures brewery site in Geelong,” said Lawrie Cross, industrial relations manager at Master Builders Association of Victoria. “Under Federal Labor’s watch, the number of working days list in our industry has exploded eight fold. Reforms to our industrial relations laws have opened the floodgate for construction unions to revert to their old playbook tactics of fear and intimidation.” Master Builders reiterated calls to reform the Fair Work regime and re-introduce an industry-specific watchdog to deal with the rise in union disruptions. “If it is so easy to break the law, then surely our legal framework needs to be strengthened?” asked Cross. “The Prime Minister promised our industry would have a ‘strong cop on the beat’ but instead we have a toothless system that raised a white flag to union leaders so they can regularly act outside the law.” 

Industrial disputes have reached their highest level in the last seven years, says the ABS.

Chris’s Sprintcar in front of his shop.

Capital city house values on the rise

West Australian Chris Dicker has built his own Limited Sprintcar, following his successful 2012 debut season with the small-but-powerful machines—he ended up 3rd on points for the Perth Motorplex Limited Sprintcar Fast Friday series, and was 9th on seasons points of 32 drivers. “Limited Sprintcars are so called as we are a budget conscious class that are limited to having steel heads and a carburetor, as opposed the next class up 360 Sprintcars, with aluminum heads and fuel injection,” Chris explains. “We also are limited to 361 cubic inches engine capacity. My engine is 360 in size and has just on 600HP and weighs 780kgs with me in it, on dirt, sideways…” Chris is sponsored by Sidchrome Tools, Milwaukee Power Tools, Construction Supply Specialists, Flatout Karts, Fiddy Customs, Allstar Signs, Higgys Mechanical and Stainless Alloy Manufacturing. He’s also Vice President of the West Australian Limited Sprintcar Association, a club is comprised of approximately 120 members consisting of over 75 drivers with the remainder of the members being family, support crew and club associates. Check out the Limited Sprintcar Website http://www.limitedsprintcars.com.au/ for a calendar of events, driver profiles and previous years photos.

Values are going up again.

A broad-based recovery in capital city dwelling values is underway, according to the Summer 2013 edition of RP Data’s Property Capital Markets Report. The report points out that the residential housing market in Australia is the country’s largest asset class—worth an estimated $4.86 trillion— which is almost three and a half times the value of Australia’s stock market and combined superannuation funds. After recording a 7.4 per cent decline between October 2010 and May 2012, capital city dwelling values have recovered 3.3 per cent over nine months following the May trough. All of Australia’s eight capital cities have recorded a lift in dwelling values since their respective low point, ranging from a 2.1 per cent rise in Brisbane to 11.2 per cent in Darwin. The report says, while it is evident that a housing market recovery is underway, the pace of growth has been modest, a trend that is likely to continue for the remainder of 2013. The growth in dwelling values since the end of May has averaged just 0.4 per cent month to month. Annualised, that rate of growth equates to an annual capital gain of just 4.8 per cent. 

Cover story

n Victoria’s Mornington Peninsula, near the town of Rye, is a stretch of coastline with the underwhelming name of 16th Beach. It faces the open water of Bass Strait and the surf breaks on a half-kilometre long reef. You can drive south-east from Melbourne to 16th Beach in one and a half hours, making it a popular spot for holiday homes. While these weekenders range from old beach shacks to veritable mansions, there is one that stands apart from all the others. The Klein Bottle house, located on tea-tree covered sand hills, is one of the most intriguing—and architecturally inspired—buildings in Australia. The 258-square-metre residence is based on a mind-bending mathematical concept—a topographical shape known as a Klein bottle, a model of a surface developed by the German 19th-century mathematician, Felix Klein. Whereas a Möbius strip is a one-sided shape, it has edges. A Klein bottle is a three-dimensional shape that not only has no discernible inner or outer surfaces, but notions of left and right cannot be consistently defined. If that’s not enough, a true Klein bottle can only exist in four dimensions.

Construction Supply Specialists

This abstract, theoretical shape was the starting point for architect Rob McBride and his partner, interior designer Debbie Ryan, of Melbourne-based McBride Charles Ryan Architecture + Interior Design (MCR). “The surfaces that mathematicians have developed hold intrigue for architects as they hold a promise of new spatial relationships and configurations,” said McBride to an online architectural site. “Technology [CAD] has played an important part in all this; it is now more possible to efficiently describe more complex shapes and spaces and communicate these to the build. Previously the more orthogonal means of communication—plans, sections and elevations— naturally encourage buildings which are more easily described in these terms—i.e. boxes.” Using advanced CAD-CAM technology, the MCR team designed a spiral house twisting around an internal courtyard. This design evolved until the spiral passed back through the house, elegantly reflecting the Klein bottle mathematical concept. The outside of the building plays with space and shape. Walls seem to simultaneously recede and leap forward. At first glance, there doesn’t seem to be a right angle anywhere

Partly inspired by fibro shacks, and partly by a shape that is impossible to recreate in three dimensions, Victoria’s Klein Bottle House is one of the most intriguing buildings in Australia. By Kerryn Ramsey

Cover story

A Klein Bottle is a shape that has no inner or outer surfaces—in fact, a real Klein Bottle can’t exist in three dimensions (it needs four). But that shape was the starting point for the architects, MCR.

Completed in 2008, it took the architecture world by storm, winning a number of high profile awards… including World’s Best House in the building. There is, however, nothing haphazard about this dramatic home. It nestles serenely in its surroundings, as much a part of the landscape as the tea-trees that encircle the structure. The owners “chose the site for the building because it’s where you would want to camp,” says Debbie Ryan. “In principal, it’s like a doughnut,” explains Rob McBride in Stephen Crafti’s book, A Pocketful of Beach Houses. “You can twist and distort it but it will only change topographically if it’s cut. In a sense, there’s no beginning or end.” The exterior is mainly constructed of cement sheeting—a nod to the great Aussie fibro shacks that still dot many coastal communities—while the building is supported on a traditional timber stud frame. McBride emphasises: “We

Construction Supply Specialists

wanted to evoke a sense of the fibre cement beach shack in the area. We didn’t want to make the house feel too precious.” While staying true to the Klein bottle form, the MCR team evoke folded origami and tents in the interplay of surfaces and angles. “Origami folds are accentuated by many shades of white,” says Ryan. While the building is boldly ultra-modern, it almost goes without saying that the structure is a modestly sized holiday home for a couple with three children. The exterior base and roof are painted black which highlights the daring architecture while framing the white balcony off the large living area. The black serves double duty by anchoring the house in the landscape, giving a solidity to this whimsical structure.

An untreated wooden boardwalk leads to the entrance to the house where the warm red of the interior draws in both guest and resident. Once inside a rising red staircase wraps around the internal courtyard. Angles, walls and surfaces seem to jut every which way, yet there is a rationale to it all. It is randomness tempered by logic. “What began as a spiral or shelllike building developed into a more complex spiral, the Klein bottle,” McBride told the World Architecture News site. The spiraling staircase brings to mind the whorl of a dissected shell. Once past the three bedrooms, the hallway opens into an impressive living/dining space. Two large irregularly shaped balconies blur the boundary between inside and out, without obstructing the coastal bush and ocean views.

What’s in a name?

Out-of-the-box houses by McBride Charles Ryan have impressed architects, builders and homeowners alike. “These are buildings that are about trying to capture your imagination,” said Ryan in the Life Architecturally doco. These stand-out names of the MCR-designed homes reinforce the intent… ■ Dome house (2005): This sci-fi structure is based around the concept of a buried copper sphere with puzzle-shaped sections removed to allow access to the large courtyard and stunning interior. The building has a feel of a futuristic fort—unusual, to say the least, in suburban Melbourne. ■ Cave house (2005): This seemingly top-heavy building floats above a light and airy living space. The dark and monolithic upper floor barely touches the ground, creating the sense of a cave underneath. ■ Letterbox house (2009): The house presents a small street facade that basically consists of the letterbox. From this innocuous starting point, the building grows and twists, transforming into a multi-storey home with a wooden cave for a verandah. ■ Cloud house (2011): A typical Edwardian doublefronted street facade transforms into a large living space with the cross-section of a cartoon cloud. Whimsical, joyous, unexpected, visionary—these are all words easily associated with this inventive architecture firm.

Cloud House

Dome House

Letterbox House

It’s easy to overlook all the practicalities of such an unusual home, but the Klein Bottle house ticks all the right boxes. Panoramic windows throughout the house are anything but square. Surrounded by black perimeters, they frame the wild coastland and are more beautiful than any piece of hanging art. The building is undoubtedly on the cutting edge of Australian architecture while remaining a functional, warm and inviting place to live. Completed in 2008, it took the architecture world by storm, winning a number of high profile awards—the Australian Institute of Architects Robyn Boyd Award and the Harold Desbrowe-Annear Award for New Residential Architecture; as well the Dulux Colour Awards and The Grand Designs Best International Home. Perhaps its most notable accolade was at the World Architecture Festival in 2009 where the Klein Bottle house

Construction Supply Specialists

was awarded World’s Best House. “We are definitely interested in form,” said McBride to Architecture Australia magazine, adding that their interest was driven by “how it can enrich its urban location, what we call the urban experience”. And Ryan continues: “When a building goes up, people [might] say ‘whoa’, but then two years later, it’s just part of a place.” It’s easy to overlook all the practicalities of such an unusual home, but the Klein Bottle house ticks all the right boxes. There is a steel frame at the heart of the building and the cement and metal sheeting of the exterior meet stringent bushfire benchmarks. For all intents and purposes, this is an incombustible house. Environmental efficiencies are built into the design. All the windows are double glazed and the

cavities in the walls are full of insulation. The internal courtyard and sliding glass doors allow for plentiful cross-ventilation. Water is harvested and collected from the roof while the flooring is constructed of one of the most environmentally friendly materials available–bamboo. The lights throughout the house were chosen for the long life and efficiency. McBride and Ryan created something unique with the Klein Bottle house, and they are undoubtedly not afraid to push ideas of design and construction to the limit. “When we started out, it was harder to convince people to go with our vision,” Ryan said in last year’s TV documentary on their work, Life Architecturally. “These days people come to us because they expect us to give them something unexpected.” 

Clad in cement sheets on a timber frame, the house nods to traditional beach shacks while being environmentally efficient and bushfire-proof.

Advertorial

Horse power  After 30 years in Australia (and 213 years in Germany) PFERD has grown due to a strong focus on working closely with the people who use abrasives.

ccording to Shawn Sumner, the managing director of PFERD (pronounced ‘furd’) in Australia, one of his company’s greatest strengths has turned out to be a mixed blessing. “We are the manufacturer of almost all of our products. The business started in Germany in 1799, and is still family-owned, but it’s very much driven by innovation and product development. As a European manufacturer primarily—we’ve got two factories in Germany and production facilities in Spain, South Africa and the United States—with the products slightly more expensive and more based on the high-end of the quality and performance scale,” he explains. “Because we work with our end user, we see where there’s a need for change and innovation with the products. And it’s a strategic direction within the company to drive for innovation and product developments.”  But innovation isn’t limited to the tools themselves—one of the ways PFERD sets itself apart from others in the market is the onsite services and training it offers companies “We currently have three tool vans. They’re a moving catalogue of our products, and their role is to go to work sites and solve problems. They’re all technical guys, and while they’re there solving problems people can trial our products,” Sumner explains.  When that service is working in concert with two full-time safety trainers employed by the business, you’ve got a powerful reason to do business with PFERD. “One area we’re working hard on is around occupational health and safety,” explains Sumner. “We do training for safe use of abrasives, and through that, a foreman or some-

one on site will say, ‘we’re grinding and having trouble with vibration and noise’. In those cases, we may say, ‘we’ve got a product that will address those OH&S issues’. Because a lot of these companies know we’re selling a commodity, and the real cost is not the commodity but the person / operator, so if you can speed up the process by addressing those human problems,

you don’t have to be the cheapest, but the most efficient.” “We have also found that in many cases business that choose to use our products end up making substantial savings”. The offer to freely demonstrate our products, which in-turn helps us better understand the clients business and identify and compare areas in their process where we can help.  In Aus-

tralia PFERD is mainly a warehouse and distribution operation—“We have a small coated production capacity,” Sumner adds, “but we also pick and choose the new products annually based on our knowledge of the market here, so we’re involved continually in the new product launches and in development here.” The PFERD brand was developed in Germany several hundred years ago: “The company’s name is German for ‘horse’,” Sumner says. “The first product we made was a file for horses hooves, and so people would recognize the brand back then, they stamped a horse logo on the file.”  More than 200 years ago, every-

thing started with the manufacturing of files and rasps in a small forge in the Westphalian town Voerde. In search of skilled workers and favorable transportation conditions, the factory was relocated in 1897 to Marienheide, near Cologne where the company August Rüggeberg was founded.  Since then, the family business developed into one of the leading manufacturers in the tool industry. Innovative ideas and products are the key to success. In the tool industry, the PFERD brand is intrinsically tied to August Rüggeberg and synonymous with outstanding quality tools and abrasives, high performance and productivity.

“Because we work with our end user, we see where there’s a need for change and innovation with the products. And it’s a strategic direction within the company to drive for innovation and product developments.” Shawn Sumner, PFERD Australia

Of course, the company has developed significantly, while retaining its focus on responding to the users of their products through decentralised warehousing too. “People will often run out of stock and need goods straight away. We’ve got warehouses in Brisbane, Perth and Sydney as well as the head office in Melbourne, so we have national coverage in terms of sales team and stock,” Sumner adds.    To find out more, go to www.pferd.com, or contact 1300 0 PFERD.

The Acid-Alternative Concrete dissolver Crete-Off is a nontoxic, biodegradable, “environmentally green” liquid designed to dissolve the portland cement component in concrete, mortar, thin set, grout, and other portland cement based products. IT CONTAINS NO ACID. Crete-Off will not harm painted surfaces, tools, metal surfaces, plastic surfaces, or any type of plants or vegetation. It is easily neutralized and diluted with water. It is fast-acting but not instantaneous, so correct application of the liquid to the material is the key to success. It is a labor-saving product designed to be operator safe and to eliminate hammering, scraping and acid-washing of tools, equipment, and building surfaces.

Advertorial

Polastic fantastic Demand for practical solutions to overcome new and vital challenges in the Australian building industry led to the innovative Polastic Insulation System from Proactive Technology Australia Pty Ltd.

he focus of Proactive Technology is to create technologically advanced, innovative insulation products that are remarkably energy efficient, cost effective and environmentally responsible. Proactive Technology’s investment lies largely in designing and manufacturing Australian Made building products that practically and successfully address the critical and often-costly consequences brought about by changes in the way we build in contrast with Australia’s vastly differing climate zones and ever-spiralling energy costs. In attempts to combat the rising prices and ever-increasing dependency on electricity, Australian building regulations were amended in May 2010 requiring mandatory installation of insulation in all new buildings. In addition to achieving thermal efficiency, Proactive Technology asserts that aiding in the prevention of condensation must be a key consideration to the way we build and how we insulate. Until now, common solutions include the use of multiple layers of insulation or application of additional products. For example, a commercial roof can generally specify at least three separate products—including anti con, batts and roof raisers—to achieve an R3.2. Polastic Insulation System is unique as it efficiently addresses all building considerations, including aiding in the prevention of condensation, achieving the same R3.2 with just a single application of the 12mm continuous roll product. Polastic Insulation System provides a smart, total insulation solution in a single, slim profile product that is quick and easy to install, saving considerably on materials and labour.

Construction Supply Specialists

Above, and opposite page: the slim profile Polastic Insulation System reduces all three types of heat transfer as well as acting as a vapour barrier.

Polastic’s Innovation, design and creation Firstly, the insulation product had to be made entirely from non-conductive materials. The safety considerations and hazards to homeowners and installers alike automatically discounted all conductive materials including glass and metal foils. It also had to effectively reduce all three types of heat transfer including conduction, convection and radiant heat. Polastic Insulation System takes full advantage of ‘next generation’ developments and dramatic advances in building science and technology. By contrast, fibreglass insulation (which accounts for a whopping 85 per cent

share of the insulation industry) was developed in 1938, before the invention of ball point pens, microwaves, credit cards, mobile phones, the internet and email! In an endless pursuit for ‘exactly the right product’, Proactive Technology embarked upon years of significant research and development on an international scale. Benchmarking world’s best practice was key in the creation of Polastic Insulation System. Seeking out industry experts from countries where mandatory insulation has been the norm for decades and severe climates were a day-to-day experience, allowed Proactive Technology to comprehensively select two tested and

proven insulation materials that would meet our stringent performance criteria. The key to Polastic Insulation System’s superior insulation properties lies in an innovative combination of two, highly advanced, materials working together to keep the heat outside in summer and inside in winter.

Component 1. Expanded Polystyrene Core The interior or core of Polastic Insulation System comprises a highly flexible, specially engineered Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) core that harnesses the potential of dead air—nature’s best insulator. Consider how a polystyrene cup which, with only two millimetres of thickness, is able to prevent your hands from serious burns from boiling liquid by reducing the outer surface temperature of the cup from 95°C to approximately 50°C. The polystyrene used in Polastic Insulation System is a proprietary formula designed to make it a highly flexible, durable and stable insulator that does not degrade over time. Being a solid surfaced material, polystyrene can effectively reduce convective and conductive heat transfer. But what about radiant heat transfer?

Component 2. Reflective Plastic The outer layer of Polastic Insulation System comprises an entirely non-conductive, ultra-thin reflective plastic facer similar to Mylar used and developed by NASA to insulate space suits. Where the use of Mylar would result in Polastic Insulation System being cost-prohibitive for most applications, Proactive Technology worked with laboratories in the creation of a cost effective, radiant-reflective laminate. Able to prevent extremes in both hot and cold temperatures, while effectively reducing radiant heat, it has all the reflective benefits of a foil without the conductive or corrosive drawbacks. The shielding properties of the EPS foam core together with the thermal blocking power of the reflective plastic facer make Polastic Insulation System an incredibly effective insulation system.

Three-in-One Application Polastic Insulation System provides a 3-in-1 application when installed including a thermal break, vapour barrier and slim-profile insulation. This allows for fast installation and the replacement of multiple insulation products. The availability in both sheet and roll form allows

Polastic Insulation System is unique as it efficiently addresses all building considerations, including aiding in the prevention of condensation, achieving the same R3.2 with just a single application of the 12mm continuous roll. for unlimited applications and building configurations. Polastic Insulation System can be installed anywhere hot and cold need to be regulated. The most common applications include: ■ Cavity Brick and Veneer ■ External Claddng ■ Commercial Roofing ■ Concrete / Thermal Mass ■ Transportable Homes.  For more information please visit: www.proactivetechnology.com.au/pages/applications.php Construction Supply Specialists

Advertorial

Powering on There may be new owners, but at Powers Fasteners it’s business as usual.

t’s been nearly a year since Stanley Black & Decker’s Construction DoIt-Yourself (CDIY) division acquired Powers Fasteners, in a move both companies described as being designed to provide customers with a comprehensive range of tools and related products. While Powers had a reputation as a family-run business, and Stanley Black & Decker as a large multinational, the past year has shown the Powers brand has continued on as strong as ever, with new advantages available from the new owners. In Australia, Powers had been coowned by the family and local directors for the previous 20 years, says national business development manager Charles Krivaci. “I think there was some trepidation in the marketplace—a family business being taken over by a large corporate. At the same time, some people saw the potential for more enhancements particularly with new products and systems, so that’s more of a positive,” he says. “Stanley Black & Decker saw an opportunity and had been conducting due diligence on Powers for some time. Powers had a broad range of fastening products but were scarce on tools. Stanley Black & Decker have a proven reputation with tools, especially rotary hammers, combination hammers, angle grinders, reciprocating saws, screwdrivers, impacts drivers and impact wrenches—so a lot of their products complemented our product range. “Another key strength for Powers is its commitment to distribution-only businesses. Stanley Black & Decker see this as an opportunity to increase their exposure to the distributor market under the Powers model.” Powers Fasteners has been a worldwide pioneer in the fastening industry for over 90 years and today is the lead-

“It’s certainly business as usual. The whole approach from everyone involved has just been let the business run. It was already dynamic and responsive to customers’ needs, and that has not been tampered with. And there has been no focus on pulling back what we do logistically, in fact we’ve just had a new warehouse open in the Northern Territory, and plans for another one in Townsville later this year, and a focus on extracting back end efficiencies. And we’ve learnt a lot from Stanley Black & Decker too.” The Powers tradition of focussing on their end-user and diect customer, then has only gotten stronger under the new Stanley Black & Decker family. 

ing supplier of concrete and masonry anchors and fastening systems in North America, Europe, Australia and New Zealand. Powers has extensive engineering and manufacturing expertise in several product groups, including mechanical anchors, adhesive anchoring systems, screws and rivets, driving, drilling, cutting and powered forced-entry systems such as powder-actuated and gas fastening systems. The company was founded in 1921

by Frederic Booth Powers Sr as Rawlplug Co. Up until the takeover, the company was owned and run by the fourth generation of Powers sons. When the acquisition of Powers was announced, Stanley Black & Decker’s intention was to keep the business flowing with no changes on its commercial side. As a separate operating group embedded within the Professional Power Tools Group, Powers will remain as a key brand.

Tradie saves a baby Perth tradie Rohan O’Neill was hailed as a hero in March this year after security camera footage from his local supermarket aired on A Current Affair— showing him saving the life of a baby girl who had stopped breathing. “A whole bunch of different things had gone on that day, and when I got to the supermarket, I thought I’d only be five minutes and grab my milk and cat food and baby food,” he told a Perth radio station afterwards. “I was just about to leave when all this happened.” A mother ran out of one of the aisles carrying the limp body of her twoyear-old daughter Shaylar. The child, who was running a high fever, had collapsed and stopped breathing. The mother was distraught. She handed the child over to Rohan and the woman standing beside him, and ran outside to tell the child’s father. “I was terrified,” Rohan admitted later. “Pretty much all you want to do is make sure she’s OK. I jammed my finger into her throat and pulled her mouth open and we put her up on the table, myself and another lady, and we just started giving CPR. Eventually you just see the

Perth tradie Rohan O’Neill (above) and the drama on camera (below). flicker come back in her eyes, so I just kept going.” As Shayla’s father ran around, helpless, Rohan “breathed for the child”, as the paramedic guiding him put it, and brought her back to life. The next day, Shayla was doing well (and oblivious to all the fuss), and Rohan was a national hero.

Three wishes Three men—a project manager, an engineer, and a builder—are helping out on a building site when they stumble upon a lamp. As they rub the lamp a genie appears and says, “Normally I would grant you three wishes, but since there are three of you, I will grant you each one wish.” The engineer says, “I would like to spend the rest of my life living in a huge house on a tropical island with no money worries.” The genie granted him his wish and sent him on off to a tropical island. The builder went next. “I would like to spend the rest of my life living on a huge yacht cruising the Mediterranean with no money worries.” The genie sent him off to the Mediterranean. Last, it was the project manager’s turn. “And what would your wish be?” asked the genie. “I want them both back after lunch,” he replied. Solutions on page 58

Nailing it Tom and Dick are building a house when Tom sees Dick going through a bag of nails. He looks at each nail in turn and some he puts into a box and others he throws into a bin. “Why are you throwing those nails away?” asks Tom. “Because they’re pointed at the wrong end,” says Dick. “You idiot,” replies Tom. “Those nails are for the other side of the house.”

Quote of the month: That sinking feeling No, it isn’t a case of poor underpinning. What looks like a tram sinking into the ground is actually the entrance to the Bockenheimer Warte metro station in Frankfurt, Germany. The station was built in this style in 1986 as a response to public criticisms of the boring architecture of the existing metro stations. It’s also supplied plenty of surprising holiday photos for people visiting the local university, which is situated nearby. 
