Light Weight Deflectometer – ZORN ZFG Number 10,000 Auctioned
The base plate of ZFG Nr. 10,000 has been hallmarked today at Zorn Instruments. Otmar Mewes, a ZORN team member for more than 30 years, carefully hit the hammer on the number stamp this morning. He had already marked ZFG number “1” many years ago, for the first series of Light Weight Deflectometer.
Back then, no one was thinking to take a photo. But today the cameras were ready.
Where will the money raised at auction go? ZORN INSTRUMENTS will donate the entire proceeds to Hochschule Magdeburg-Stendal. This renowned German University for Applied Sciences will use the money to finance a scholarship in the field of construction engineering.
The anniversary ZFG will be presented to the auction winner in Magdeburg on 13 December 2018. Dr. Reiner Haseloff, Chief Minister of the federal state Saxony-Anhalt, will join the event as an honorary guest.
We have been very happy with the support from Insitutek. They are knowledgeable and have been super responsive and flexible to our needs.
We have found the PANDA to be an invaluable acquisition to our company, using it on projects ranging from Remote Community Housing in Central Australia to a NASA Rocket Launch Facility in Arnhem Land, NT.
I felt the training was very thorough. If anyone doesn’t know how to use a PANDA after that session, they shouldn’t be using one at all.
