| Steel Framed Residential Appartment
The
G+2 Storeyed Residential Project at Torangallu, Bellary
was undertaken by Jindal Vijaynagar Steel Limited for accommodations
its employees. The first full fledged apartment building
is made in reality by M/s Fourcees Project Services Private
Ltd, Mumbai. Built up sections were used for structural
framing. The site is located where the day time temperature
rises upto 45 Deg. Centigrade. The external walls consisted
of 2 separate skins, but interconnected structurally, which
resulted with the building being cooler by 6 to 8 deg. Insulated
steel doors with steel frame and steel glazed windows were
used. Deck spans made out of 20 gauge GI sheets, not only
acted as bottom reinforcement for the slabs but as a permanent
shuttering for the floor slabs. For aesthetical consideration
the top roof has been provided with pitched roof using specially
profiled color coated sheets. The underside of the roof
is provided with under deck insulation and gypsum board
false ceiling to provide elegant and immaculate looks from
inside.
( M/s Fourcees is a member of INSDAG). |

House Of Steel
TATA
Steel’s construction
group built a Steel House at Jamshedpur. This 2280 square
feet club house built for its employees, has steel load
bearing walls made of roll formed light gauge CR sheets,
with polystyrene insulation and cement fiber board cladding.
The house uses 12.0 MT steel as opposed to 5.0 MT in conventional
structures, and 285 bags of cement as opposed to 900 bags
in a conventional structure. The work took merely 61 days
to complete the house. The job was executed by M/s
Minaean Ventures Inc. of Canada (M/s Minaean Habitat(I)
Pvt. Ltd. is a INSADG member)
