In this episode of Stirring the Pot, we talk with our General Manager Structural Systems Stephen Hicks on what research projects our Structural Systems team will be focused on to assist our membership in the New Zealand metals-based industry.
We discuss the Steel Research Panel, who is represented on it, and how they were able to choose the projects to focus on for industry, as well as the projects themselves:
This podcast is part of our commitment to provide greater transparency and visibility of the R&D focuses we have.
Please note that Stephen is due to leave HERA to pursue an exciting new career as Professor of Civil Engineering at the University of Warwick in the UK at the end of July 2019. To ensure continuity we’ve been making sure that his panel projects are handed over to our existing team during his remaining time with us.
We hope this will mean there will be little to no delays in moving these along once a successor is appointed.
Did you know that HERA members can propose projects for HERA to work on?
