What: Continuous Galvanized Rebar Production Facility
Who: Shri Dharmendra Pradhan
Where: Mandi Gobindgarh
When: June 29, 2020
Minister of Steel &Petroleum and Natural Gas Shri Dharmendra Pradhan on June 29, 2020 inaugurated “Continuous Galvanized Rebar” Production Facility set up by Madhav Alloys in Mandi Gobindgarh, Punjab.
Steel in general, and galvanized steel in particular, is a material of strength which is environment-friendly and cost-effective. With focus on large-scale expansion in infrastructure sectors and driving steel intensity, the demand for galvanized steel is set to rise.
The Continuous Galvanized Rebar production facility inaugurated will support the much awaited need of supplying galvanized rebar to the construction industry.
What is Rebar?
Rebars or Steel reinforcement bars are used to improve the tensile strength of the concrete, since concrete is very weak in tension, but is strong in compression. It is used in reinforced concrete and masonry structures to strengthen and hold the concrete in tension. Steel is only used as rebar because elongation of steel due to high temperatures nearly equals to that of concrete.
