Are you pursuing the idea of living a self-sufficient lifestyle but not sure of where to begin? Do you feel like maybe your living spaces are preventing you from achieving this goal? In this case, you have two choices, either you make your property self-sufficient and start from scratch or you can work towards improving […]
The engineering regulation in NZ is a system that must be able to adapt to a changing public landscape. While any practical person can perform engineering work on buildings that are not restricted under licensed building code, it requires an assessed building practitioner to carry out construction work that is essential to the structure or […]
Flow batteries have become a popular choice in the development of large-scale energy storage systems due to their helpful features. They offer very long cycle life, low-cost options for applications that depend on high energy to power ratios, as well as high energy efficiencies. They are useful for electric power customers which include industries and […]
Engineers play an important role in ensuring the building process runs smoothly and applicable laws are followed. BCAs rely on engineers to ensure that where a project does not have building consent, it will not be constructed. This ruling shows MBIE and BCAs take this responsibility seriously. BCAs can also raise complaints with us when engineers supervise […]
Begg built several F5000 cars, including the FM2 then FM4, FM5 and 018. The 018, as originally raced by Jim Murdoch, and ex David Oxton and Allan McCully FM5s, are on display at the new George Begg Bunker in the Motorcycle Mecca building in Invercargill’s Tay Street.
