Going Global
Jindal Steel and Power Limited (JSPL) is one of India's major steel producers with a significant presence in sectors like
Steel, Mining, Power Generation, Petroleum, Infrastructure, Cement and Info-solution.

From the widest flat product to a whole range of long products, JSPL today sports a product portfolio that caters to
varied needs in the steel market. The company also has the distinction of producing the world's longest 121 meter
rails and introducing parallel flange beams in India.

Recently JSPL has arised with revolutionary and innovative technique to eliminate the outdated conventional flooring
system with suspended concrete flooring system known as ‘Jindal Speedfloor’. The manufacturing facility for Jindal
Speedfloor is located 30kms away from the heart of Raigarh City, Chattisgarh at O.P. Jindal Knowledge Park,
Punjipatra.

With an annual turnover US $ 3.5 billion, JPSL has committed investments exceeding US $ 30 billion in the future
and has several business initiatives running simultaneously across India, South-East Asia, Africa, South America,
Australia and Georgia.

Our name says it all.
SPEEDFLOOR, the unique suspended concrete flooring system, is an innovation in the building industry. So quick and easy to install,
SPEEDFLOOR is a lightweight, cost-effective system that's perfect for multi-storey buildings and carparks. Whether it's one storey or fifteen,
the recipe is very simple. take sufficient quantity of SPEEDFLOOR, add structural steel or concrete supports, mix concrete and pourlAt the
heart of the system is a specially rollformed, galvanised steel joist that offers all the benefits of an open-webbed truss system at a more
enough to be man- handled into place, reducing cranaage costs. Services are easily accommodated through the joists which are delivered to
the site ready to install. SPEEDFLOOR The perfectly simple, simply perfect solution to multi-storey construction.

l Steel used for making JOIST is of Grade 350 which has a minimum yield stress of 350MPa and a
minimum tensile stress of 380Mpa as well a minimum coating of Z275 is maintained.
l Generally Speedfloor uses a 75mm or 90mm topping in comparison to the other conventional
RCC flooring systems.
