SRMB, a 1100 crore company, has once again established their leadership in the industry through innovation by introducing India’s most advanced earthquake resistant TMT bars with the brand name SRMB 500+ SR. It is an advanced version of Fe 500+ TMT rebars strengthened with earthquake resistant quality. SRMB brand ambassador and ace cricketer Kapil Dev was present at the occasion to launch the product in Bangalore.
According to Mr. M. M. Abraham, Senior Vice-President (Marketing & Distribution), SRMB Srijan Limited, present at the occasion, “ These highly advanced TMT Bars are the need of the hour in India as the entire nation has been bracketed under Seismic Zones III, IV & V. These advanced Bars would go a long way in ensuring safety and longevity of civil structures.”
SRMB 500+ SR has high ductile properties that prevent the collapse of reinforced structures. They are extremely resilient in nature, as a result of which they can sustain greater amount of stress without failure. In addition, these bars also have very high and uniform elongation and to a large extent can sustain deformation without necking and thus resist ultimate failure of the structure.
Features of SRMB 500+ SR TMT Bars at a glance:
1. Superior ductility – minimum 15% higher than Yield Stress.
2. Superior corrosion resistance – helps to preserve and enhance life of the structures
3. Superior tensile strength – helps to save about 17% steel compared to normal Fe 415 TMT bars
4. Superior bonding – innovative ‘X’ pattern ribs provide superior bonding between concrete and steel bar due to its high Ar. Value.
5. Superior elongation – offers better seismic resilience
6. Superior resistance to sustain stress without failure – prevents buildings from collapsing
SRMB is the pioneer in the manufacturing of the 1st TMT Bar (secondary steel sector) in the country and is one of the leading players in the construction steel industry. SRMB Srijan Limited has also started their new venture with a chain of exclusive orientation centers for Steel named - "Rods 'n' Bars" to spread awareness for good construction practices SRMB with its broader vision and formidable expansion plans had already set up 10 exclusive orientation center at West Bengal, Kerala, Rajasthan & Jharkhand by now with a tremendous response,. Bangalore is also in the pipeline
Taking the path of Leadership through Innovation, SRMB has brought the revolutionary product named SRMB AZAR, a corrosion proof rebar to Indian consumers in exclusive technical collaboration with MIS Zinga Metall BvBA, Belgium. SRMB took up the challenge to PUT AN END to corrosion and decay in civil structures and to endow with to a superior life of reinforcing bars by introducing SRMB AZAR, which is produced by film galvanizing with ZINGA on SRMB TMT bars to prolong the lifetime of the concrete to more than 125 years.
About SRMB: SRMB, an ISO 9001 & 14001 & OHSAS 18001 certified company and also the first conversion agent for SAIL in India.. It is a registered brand with all turnkey infrastructural operators / consultants in the country and own two manufacturing units in West Bengal. SRMB has to its credit clients like Larsen & Toubro, WIPRO, Punj Lloyds, Reliance Industries & Reliance Infocom to name a few.
