September 28, 2010 is our first Industrial visit ever since we arrived in Wuhan. The first industrial visit was to Wuhan iron & steel company (WISCO). Meeting time at 8am so as usual, we rushed to the meeting area early in the morning before we got fined. Board the bus and took around 30mins to reach WISCO. This industrial visit is to let us has to have more understanding on the manufacturing of steel and iron. Well, here are some of the pictures i took during the visit! Enjoy!
Burning of the iron. The temperature is so high that from the burner to the spot i stand is around 30-40m? But i still can feel the heat!!
The iron is still in Bright red colour despite undergo serveral sections of cooling process
Once the iron is cool down, they are being rolled into sheets.

For your guys information, the 3 rolled Iron sheets are the first batched of iron being dispatched from the whole manufacturing process in 1978. Thats why they are being placed here to keep as a memory for the success of the manufacturing those iron.Self-reflection :
Able to know more about the manufacturing of the iron and steel through this industrial visit is a good experience for me. From young till now i had never even see before the whole process of iron and steel being made. Another thing was reguarding about water. Today in our hostel , we encountered water shortage for the first time. Everyone was panick when we all heard that the hostel water had stopped. Everyone was trying to source for water for bathing and other stuffs. I manage to get 1 pail of water for bathing. The process is a torture where i had to limit myself from over using the 1 pail of water for bathing. Well this reflects that in singapore, we seldom encounter water shortage problem which make people now not sure how to react when such incident happens. I think that after been through this experience of water shortage, we must really cherish water. When there's no water, our life will be seriously affected. Water is precious! :) Signing off now ! bye
