Smarter Material for Smart Cities Contributed by: Jindal Steel and Power Ltd, eae ee ea ae ae echectire Het cay estan sche calane JSPL has introduced ready to use TMT bars which are cut ‘and bent according to the bar bending schedule. Having been produced in factory environment, this process gives accurate sizes and curves, produces minimal scrap and uses lesser labour peer tonne which ultimately translates into cost savings for the customer. These are made Using Jindal Panther TMT bars which are ideal for For india to realize the Prime Ministers visionary idea of ‘Smart Cities, it would require not only safe architecture, but also, smarter materials and solutions which make the construction process easier and faster. Steel asa structural material provides, respite to structural engineers and architects alike since its ductile ands thus resilient. Buildings using steel structures are lighter than concrete ones thereby attracting lesser seismic forces and also allow the flexibility of complex shapes. crreamrnaerigyes Eying these opportunities and the latent potential in this, loading conditions making it sector, JSPL has introduced smart, eco-friendly and innovative an ideal choice for buildings construction solutions to harness the need for a lighter. faster and in high seismic zones, easier method of construction. Presented below are key materials Welded Mesh: Readymade TMT Mesh Which Saves of this portfolio. rrineand Cost ‘Speedfloor: Cast Floors without Decking Sheet or Props JSPL’s welded meshis another highly efficient product that helps in faster The company has introduced a revolutionary and innovative construction. tis a pracessed steel product technique to eliminate the outdated conventional flooring system that consists of re-bars welded together to with suspended concrete flooring system called Jindal Speedfioor. form a mesh. The use of readymade welded Alight-weight technology from New Zealand, itis quick and easy wire mesh at construction sites has made to install tat reduces the siab construction cycle from 3 weeks construction much faster due to the elimination toless than a week, thus ensuring rapid construction. Compatible of various time-consuming activities such as with steel and concrete frames, Speedfioor reduces both the cutting, marking and spacing of bars and binding of wires to the bars. it is aready to use, cost effective and less labour intensive technique ideal for construction cof concrete roads and casting of slabs and retaining wall Structural Insulated Panels: Construct Homes without Constructing Them This system will spawn a new age in India construction sector with pre-fabricated panels being shipped to site and being erected much faster than any system currently available. Made Using a technology from US, the components of the systemUdi Sua eat include EPS core, LGS framing and MgO board, making it 2 ‘complete structural unt in itself, With built-in insulation and fast construction, these panels are ideal for high altitudes and mass housing. These are an improvement over the current light weight building systems and will prove to be a one shot solution for pre~ fabricated structure needs. Reinforced EPS: Thermally Efficient Construction A renowned building technology from Schnell, Reinforced EPS is a smart construction technique to stay cool in summer and warm in winters without the need of additional insulation, Light and easy to instal, the technology is 50% faster than traditional ‘mode and helps in saving upto 30% electricity consumption ‘through its supreme thermal efficiency, The technology can be Used for load bearing walls (up to G+3), external wall cladding, rnon-load bearing partition walls floors and roofs, EPS panels are used in construction of Industrial Townships and Colonies, Mass Housing, Staff Quarters and Hostels. The JSPL residential township, ‘at Angul has been built using this technology and temperature: differences of up to 5°C can be observed inside the homes. Jindal Global Road Stabilizers (JGRS): For Roads That Are ‘Hard’ To Beat Inline with Government of India's fast-tracking of road construction in India, SPL has introduced a cutting-edge, eco friendly sol stabilization technology called JGRS, which helps in increasing the bearing capacity of in-situ sol by stabilization, This technology helps in reduction of thickness of the road layers ‘and uses locally available material thus eliminating the need for transporting stone aggregates for large distances. JGRS reduces the cost by 20 to 30% and leads to 40 to 45% faster construction over conventional roads. The roads constructed Using JGRS are durable and maintenance free. It can be used for construction of Highways, High-Altitude Roads, Airstrips and railway lembankments. Jindal Panther Cement: Lohe Se Bana, Lohe Sa Bana A premium cement brand from JSPL, Jindal Panther Cement. has unmatched strength, is highly durable and corrosion resistant to meet the growing complex construction requirement of contractors, architects and owners looking for sturdy and durable = ‘concrete, Jindal Panther Cement is made using slag from our processes which ensure excellent quality Jindal Panther Cement Js being produced at ISPL's Raigarh facility with a production capacity of 0.7 MTPA, and the company plans to ramp up the capacity to 3 MTPA, Light Weight Aggregate (LWA): Aggregate That Is Clean, Green and Lean Another fortifying product being rolled out is LWA, an eco- friendly aggregate that is up to 50% lighter than conventional aggregate. Lighter aggregate triggers lighter concrete, which in-tur brings down the weight of the building, Made entirely from fly-ash ts high strength combined with low density makes it ideal fr use in structural concrete used in bridges and highways Fly-Ash Brick: High on Strength, High on The company is manufacturing high-strength bricks made of fly-ash, a by-product of power plants at Raigarh and Angul With high strength and excellent finish, these bricks can be used in load bearing walls. Their supreme finish helps save construction time and cost in binding mortar and plaster. The company currently produces approximately 3 Lakh bricks per day from ts plants in Raigarh and Angul All these materials are tested internally, engineered to magnify advantages and then rolled out to external market to realise innovative construction, With a commitment to innovate, JSPL continuously evolves and adopts novel construction materials and solutions to achieve hassle free construction For further details contact: Jindal Steel & Power Ltd.
