Company invests in first-of-its-kind automated production of Cold Rolled Steel
Growing demand for speed, quality and cost-effective construction is paving the way for growth in pre-engineered buildings (PEB) system in the Middle East amid growing infrastructure development.
To further address this need, Technical Supplies & Services Company (TSSC), a leading manufacturer of advanced building materials and systems and a subsidiary of the Harwal Group, has invested in a first-of-its-kind automated production of Cold Rolled Steel (CRS) as part of its PEB offerings in regional markets.
TSSC is the first and only company in the Gulf region producing up to 100 tonnes of CRS profiles per day and offers eight different profiles in light steel frames, which are used in the construction of different types of buildings, the company indicated in a press communiqué.
CRS is an innovative building material that is 30% lighter than hot rolled steels and 20% lighter than built-up structures, making it a cost-effective choice for industrial buildings such as warehouses, labour camps, workshops, factories, and showrooms.
“TSSC continues to set the benchmarks in the construction sector, following its unique business model based on the principles of innovation, excellence and sustainability. Our profiles are 100% pre-fabricated in the factory and there is no need for onsite welding, thereby saving on labour cost,” noted Arcangelo DellaPenna, CEO, TSSC.
According to the company, the innovative steel product is one of the components being offered within TSSC’s Advanced Building Systems, a turnkey solution for the construction industry. It offers developers and builders the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of sourcing their building materials supplies and services under a single platform and fast-track their construction process.
“Locally-produced CRS also contributes to lowering the cost of construction and further advancing the growth of pre-engineering building systems in the region,” observed Orhan Sevket Avar, Projects Manager, TSSC.
CRS’ frame structures are easy and simple to use, offering flexibility in the design depending on the required applications. It is also faster to produce and easy to assemble using nuts and bolts. The use of cutting-edge software ensures that the steel quality passes structural integrity standard.
