Food, clothing and shelter are the three basic needs of mankind. But ever wondered that the shelter you’re living in has left or is leaving behind a carbon footprint? Most of us are unaware of the fact that even buildings contribute adversely to climate change and the environment. Did you know that the construction sector […]
Modern-day architecture is all about TMT bars. TMT or Thermo-Mechanically Treated bars are high-strength reinforcement bars that have a tough outer core and a soft inner core. There are mainly four grades that TMT bar fall under- Fe 415, 500, 550, & 600 available in the market. Many steel companies make patterns on the outer […]
Building your dream house can be like a roller coaster ride. From deciding the location to breaking down funds- everything will have to be done by you. While you’ll have complete control over every aspect that would go in, this control would cost you more than usual. But sticking to your budget and making wise […]
Are you observing new cracks on your walls? To the naked eye, these cracks would feel normal and obvious. Some of them would actually be minor and could be tackled with helical wires or just be ignored. But wide cracks are a sign of genuine structural damage. How to identify structural damage? The assessment of […]
Did you know that the United Nations Environment Programme confirmed that buildings are responsible for almost half of all global energy use? Houses produce 40% of greenhouse gas emissions, consume 25% of all drinkable water, and account for 20% of all solid waste produced in developed countries. So how can you avoid contributing to these […]
Have you ever observed the area outside a construction site? There are huge mountains of debris containing sand, plastic, steel and iron bars, bricks and whatnot. Eventually, all this waste reaches the nearby dump yard which later contributes to the global carbon footprint. The production of commercial concrete releases loads of the greenhouse gas carbon […]
Did you know that steel is among the most popular materials used in the steel industry? Although steel is one of the most recycled materials used, the production of steel, from iron, involves an extremely energy-intensive manufacturing process. Hence, it’s important for steel producers to keep an eye on the carbon footprint, and ensure that […]
Steel is an extremely popular construction material, thanks to its high tensile strength and low cost. As steel production has become more advanced, and the demand for higher yield strength rose, Thermo Mechanically Treated (TMT) bars were developed. Apart from being more cost-effective, TMT steel bars are also more ductile and flexible. This makes them […]
Steel bars were a game-changer when it came to increasing the structural integrity of buildings! These days, TMT bars have increasingly become the number one option for construction projects. With its advanced technology giving it extra strength, flexibility, and weldability – it’s certainly not a surprise! Have you ever wondered exactly what the role […]
It is widely acknowledged that GDP is primarily composed of three main sectors: agriculture, industry, and service. Although each sector contributes a percentage to the economy, some are of the view that the contribution of each sector influences the growth path of the commodity sector. In theory, steel use in the agriculture sector is more […]
