As a final step in the process, the hot dip galvanized coating isinspected for compliance with the appropriate specifications.This Galvanizers Inspectors Course has been designed to provide delegates with sufficient knowledge to test,inspect and interpret test results.Following the course and successful result in a three-part exam, the delegate will be issued with a certificate, andif required, registered as an approved <strong>HDGASA</strong> inspector. Registration will be confirmed on an annual basis.Successful inspectors will become Individual members of the Association for the year.The course is usually run from the Hot Dip Galvanizers Association in St Andrews, Bedfordview but from2009 it will be available in Cape Town. Bookings are limited to 10 people on a first-come-first-serve basis.COURSE CONTENT◆ Introduction to corrosion ◆ Understanding zinc coatings◆ Inspection before hot dip galvanizing ◆ Inspection after hot dip galvanizing◆ Quality assurance in coating applications.COURSE DURATIONThis is a 2-Day Course comprising lectures on the first day, a Plant Tour in the morning of the second day, and thequalifying examination in the afternoon.DATE AND TIMECourses commence at 08h00 sharp and end at 16h30.

Case HistoryNo. 19/2010Case HistoryNewlands Rugby Stadium – Railway StandThe applicationThe decision to buy the ground thestadium stands on was made by theWestern Province Rugby and FootballUnion in 1888. The first official matchat Newlands took place on 31 May1890 when Stellenbosch defeatedVillagers there in front of a crowd ofabout 2 400 people. The followingyear the stadium hosted its firstrugby test when the British Lionstoured South Africa.It wasn't until 1919 that the firstpermanent concrete stands wereerected on the grounds. Later, in1927, the new grandstand waserected and the field layout waschanged to run from North-South.Yet more changes came in 1931 whenthe South stand was also enlarged tomake it bigger.In the 1950s parts of a newgrandstand as well as South standwere completed, facilities such aslifts and a Presidential room wereadded, a fourth bay was added to thegrandstand, and an extension wasadded to the lower gallery.The 1970s saw the stadium changeonce again as the headquarters of SARugby moved to Newlands, andseveral stands including the EasternRailway Stand were built (1979) orrenovated, while the 1980s sawprivate suites and function roomserected on top of the North stands aswell as demolition of the old Southstand and inauguration of the newDanie Craven stand (also with privatesuites and function rooms). The1980s also saw 10 253 seats added tothe stadium.Between 1990 and 1995 the stadiumwas under constant renovation,adding technology, increasingcapacity, and upgrading facilities, aspart of a 3-phase redevelopment planin anticipation of the 1995 RugbyWorld Cup, when Newlands hostedthe opening match of thetournament.After the World Cup, developmentcontinued with severalredevelopment and expansionprojects to make the stadium moremodern and increase capacity.The stadium's name was changedseveral times by various sponsors,first from Newlands to Norwich ParkNewlands in 1996, then to FedsurePark Newlands in 2000 due to amerger between Fedsure andNorwich, and finally back to simplyNewlands by Investec when theybecame the main sponsor in 2002. Inlate 2005, Vodacom became thestadium's main sponsor, but followedInvestec's precedent and kept thestadium name as Newlands.The environmental conditionsNewlands Rugby stadium is situatedat the foot of Table Mountain about6km from Table Bay, 15km from FalseBay and over the mountain about10km from Camps Bay. Conditionsare most probably mild coastal. Inaccordance with ISO 9223-Corrosionof Metals and Alloys – Corrosivity ofAtmospheres – Classification, theslow rate of corrosion achievedsuggests that the micro-climaticenvironment on the East side of theRailway Stand, inside the stadiumfalls within the Corrosion CategoryC3. (Corrosion rate of about2µm/year).Hot dip galvanizing is specifiedprimarily for corrosion protection.For this reason the two requirementsto satisfy this, are coating thicknessand continuity.continued on page 26...General view of the Newlands Rugby Stadium (left) and the stadium seats (right).Hot Dip Galvanizers Association Southern AfricaUnit U4 (Upper Level), Quality House, St. Christopher Road, St. Andrews, BedfordviewP.O.
