Benefits for Consumers, Public and Society
It can reduce any accidents that might occur from cutting and bending by themselves at a construction site, saves cost of transportation (no unnecessary excess volume is transported) and reduce the environmental issues to the nearby community.
3. Deformed Bar: Grade SD50
Tata TISCON Deformed Bar SD50 is produced through Tempcore process, increasing tensile strength of rebar by using the technique of Thermo Mechanical Treatment system (TMT). The microstructure of rebar consists of a combination of a strong outer layer of tempered martensite and a ductile core of Ferrite-Pearlite, giving Tata TISCON SD50 rebar an excellent combination of strength and ductility.
Key Benefits:
They are produced from standard compliance rebar, have high strength and load absorption. They are cut to pieces of equal size, tied in a set, easy for transportation and usage. The Company also produces special grade dowel bars for domestic usage, consequently, they can reduce the import of steel products, reduce construction cost, and shorten the construction lead time.
Benefits for Consumers, Public and Society
Reduced construction time because there is no need to wait to import products. As a result, road construction and the expressway are completed earlier than scheduled. Drivers will not have to suffer from road closures for construction for a long time.
5. Stirrup
Stirrup is produced from 6mm rebar SR24 TIS 24-2016, then cut and bent and used for the reinforcement of concrete structures such as columns or beams. It is used for small- medium sized construction such as single detached houses, town houses, 3-storey buildings, etc.
Key Benefits:
Stirrup helps resistant concrete from cracking and decelerates breaking when absorbing more pressure, but gradually deflection before failure of the structure. Tiscon Superlink is made from 6mm Tata TISCON rebar, making the structure strong, easy to use and reduce construction time .
Benefits for Consumers, Public and Society
Enhanced safety of buildings that use Tiscon Superlink in construction.
6. GB Rebar for Thai-Chinese High Speed Rail Project
Thai - Chinese high speed rail project designed by China, uses Chinese standard that is different from Thai standard. So Thai contractors have difficulty to source construction material for this project since rebar used in this project must strictly control certain properties like carbon equivalent, fatigue test, etc. TSTH produces as per TIS in conformation to the project.
Key Benefits to Stakeholders:
• PROJECT OWNER: Directly gains benefits from using Tata TISCON SD50; cost saving up to 15-20% because of using less rebar for construction when compared to SD40.
• DESIGNER: Enhanced creativity to design their project and reduce the load of structural work.
• STRUCTURAL ENGINEER/CONTRACTOR: Enhanced efficiency in some processes, the SD40 rebar cannot provide tensile strength equal to Tata TISCON SD50. It can be used for high tensile strength applications such as dams, bridges, high-rise buildings or other critical structures without impact on elongation.
Benefits for Consumers, Public and Society
Enhanced safety when buildings or infrastructures use construction material that conforms to standard and have higher tensile strength.
4. Dowel Bars
Dowel bars are cut into short equal size round bars used to transverse joints of concrete pavement. The purpose of the product is to provide a mechanical connection between slabs and create some purpose in construction such as contraction joint, expansion joint and construction joint, etc. Dowel bars are mostly used in road construction, especially the Department of Highways project that requires the usage of high strength dowel bar for Motorway project.
