Installation of this new component cutting system with full scanning technology and auto component stacking is the fastest in the world, operating at 27km/hr.

Removal of the old boiler refractory back end and installation of a new "wet end" to improve efficiency. This uses a series of water coils instead of bricks to insulate the rear of the boiler and regain "free" heat.

Removal of the old control system on the boiler and installation of new Rockwell controls. Included is a touch screen to give the operators better control of the boiler and a clearer picture of how it is operating.

Removal of all out of date electronics controlling the log in feed and upgrading to a new Siemens system. This streamlined the in feed and gives the mill operators better control via a touchscreen.

In keeping with our policy of continuous improvement we have installed a complete new log scanning system in the sawmill. This replaces the old infra red scanning system with the latest digital laser technology. Tui Technology completed the turn key project ahead of schedule and under budget. It is also producing results in excess of our expectations so a huge thank you to the Tui Technology team.

We here at SRS were fortunate to have not suffered any significant damage as a result of the devastating Feburary 22nd Christchurch earthquake. Our thoughts go out to all those who have not been so lucky. As a way to show our support, the team at SRS built a fully self contained shower unit which is now on the streets of Christchurch.
