CloseHow much does a Semi-tractor trailer weigh compared to your School Bus? This one of the questions posed to the many visitors, mostly school children, that visit this attraction during the year.
The Center of Science and Industry, or "COSI" as it is known in Columbus, an interactive learning museum, has been a staple for more than 50 years.
The crane really banged this framework around, the people who put it in the concrete mix could not believe the "coating" survived. I still cannot believe some just do not realize HDG is not a coating, it is alloy!
Mettler-Toledo who built and help donate the scale, knew the value of hot-dip galvanizing and got the local galvanizer involved. COSI has worked with this galvanizer on many projects involving zinc and corrosion protection and knew the importance of using galvanized steel.
