Following there commitment to attend the Major Series at Bramham Park Leeds, West Yorkshire on 3rd March 2012, the 3 brave souls from Premier Galvanizing survived everything the Major could throw at them.

There was smoke, swamps to wade through, ditches to climb in and out of, cargo nets to crawl under, hills to summit and waist deep streams to navigate.

There was also the mud to contend with lots and lots of mud. The mud got stickier and deeper as the day went on.

Justin and Alex got away fairly lightly as they both completed the 12k course in under 1 hr 13 minutes, however Alison and her brother who escorted her around the course didnt fair quite so well as can be seen in the photo above.

A great day was had by all on a very challenging course

Following an inquiry from a long standing customer in East Yorkshire, a site visit was carried out by Alex Camp from Premier Galvanizing to understand the needs of the customer on this very prestigious project

Upon inspection of the drawings it was evident that the items would be to wide for the local plant in Hull. After much discussion it was agreed that the items be galvanized at Premier Galvanizing Corby, this would enable the customer receive the Premier Service they were used to all be it from another branch.

After many years successfully galvanizing a smaller version of these blockers, Alex understood the need for these wider items to be dipped in a certain way. Alex Camp, the Operations Manager from Hull and a shift supervisor travelled to Corby to discuss and supervise the dipping of the first two wedges and boxes. The customer was delighted that Premier Galvanizing would take this much trouble just to alleviate their worries on this high profile job

Each wedge and box had a combined weight of 2 tonnes and the dipping angle was crucial to minimise the effects of distortion as well as give the best possible finish to the product.

The journey down south was most definitely worth it as this extra assistance and personal touched helped Premier Galvanizing secure the contract for a further 48 tonnes despite strong competition from others.

The magnifcent doors at Ripon Cathedral have recently been renovated and an electrical opening system has been installed.

In order for the system to be put in place a steel frame needed to be fabricated and galvanized in order to facillitate the alterations to the magnificent doors.

The doors at the Cathedral are nearly 450 years old and an opportunity had a risen thanks to lottery funding to install the new electric system.

Minster Engineering called Premier Galvanizing Hull to seek advice, there were concerns regarding distortion and handling issues, as it was critical the the steel frame remained straight.

By recieveing a visit by one of the expert team from Premier Galvanizing and recieving advice on hanging points these fears were quickly allievated. Minster Engineering and Premeir Galvanizing  organized a time schedule of works which enabled the large 4.5m x 2m frames to be dropped off dipped and recollected all in the same day.

As usual at Premier Galvanizing the job went to plan.
