Year 12 Engineering Get TUFF!!
Last Thursday, 19th June, the year 12 Engineering Pathways class visited TUFF Group, home of TUFF bullbars and trays. The worksite visit was a huge chance for the students to see the production of high-quality steel and aluminium bullbars and ute trays from start to finish. Students were shown through the factory processes from the beginning where sheet metal is laser cut into various bumpers and ute tray sides, to the welding processes of the bullbars to the bumpers and addition of the sides to the ute trays, together with the various customer extras added to them. The production process is completed by spray painting or powder coating protection that each customer chooses for the product. We then had the chance to see the bullbars and trays either fitted to the customer vehicle or packaged for shipment. It was a highly valued experience as it not only gave the students a look into a functioning workshop, it provided them with more employment prospects in the manufacturing field for their future choices. A massive THANK YOU to the staff at TUFF group for having us, our students were very excited about what the future holds.
