Steel is Our Strength

Keeping pace with the changing times and tuned to innovation, L&T has designed and constructed some of the Outstanding Steel Structures in India and abroad. It has made use of steel to provide effective and productive solutions tailored to meet its clients needs. L&T has a high reputation for fabrication and supply of high-end process plant equipment as well as fabrication and erection of all types of steel structures for various core sector industries. State-of-the-art fabrication facilities

coupled with extensive expertise in design, erection, testing and commissioning of massive steel structures, enable L&T execute major projects on EPC basis. Thus, it has over the years evolved as one of the largest users of steel for industrial and building construction. The high strength of steel combined with its light weight, outstanding ductility and durability, aesthetic appearance and recyclability, makes it the most preferred construction material. Today, steel is increasingly combined with wood, glass, concrete and other finishing materials to produce visually appealing, aesthetic and functional structures.

Steel Constructions
The number of all-steel construction projects built by ECC for various customers is steadily increasing. Over the past 20 years, ECC has consumed more than one lakh tonnes of steel for industrial structures as well as related infrastructure facilities. ECCs fabrication shops at Kancheepuram, Pondicherry and Pithampur have been meeting this growing need for fabricated steel for domestic and international customers. L&Ts state-ofthe-art modular fabrication facility at Hazira in Gujarat is one of the largest in the whole of South Asia. In addition to bridge structures, industrial plants and long span storage structures, steel structures have become a major component of multiplexes. Airport terminal buildings, hangars, sports stadiums and the new look railway station buildings are now using a combination of artistically created and aesthetically pleasing steel structures. The new station buildings built by L&T at Chennai for metro rail transit system (MRTS) have adopted the barrel vault, aerofoil roofing systems as well as cable stay type of roof. For the 1.2 MTPA state-of-the-art Lafarge Surma Cement Plant at Chhatak, Sunamganj in north east Bangladesh, L&T constructed a 17.5 km long cross country belt conveyor for transporting limestone and shale from

the quarry at East Khasi Hills in Meghalaya (India). Construction of this conveyor with horizontal and vertical curves involved challenges such as tough terrains, forest areas and inclement weather conditions. Considered an engineering marvel, the conveyor has a unique feature of climbing arrangements made on steep slopes with elevated steel galleries for the traveling of motorized maintenance car.

Construction Methods
The Construction Methods Planning Cell (CMPC) complements site activities with safe and economical formwork, erection schemes, method statements and project planning. Wherever required CMPC offers innovative solutions and implements construction methods and practices to meet the specialized construction needs. As a part of the critical site construction activity, CMPC studies, identifies and develops enabling structures to facilitate the smooth construction of structures for various projects.

The Steel Advantage

Highest strength-to-weight ratio among building materials 100% recyclable and non-combustible Inorganic - will not rot, warp, split, crack or creep Consistent material quality produced with stringent quality in accordance with national or international standards and specifications Light weight when compared to other building materials Facilitates fast track construction Environmentally positioned Green Less scrap and wastage Safer structures on account of high strength and fire resistantce Not vulnerable to termites or chemical pesticides

Less damage in earthquakes, hurricanes, hailstorms, snow loads; lighter structure with stronger connections results in less seismic force.

The Future
L&T is actively engaged in the design and construction of steel structures. With its high potential and vast expertise, L&T is effectively meeting international benchmarks of quality in all its projects. Every project built by ECC is a landmark in its own right. And all of them stand tall paying tribute to L&Ts engineering and construction capabilities. L&T is all set to build a strong India.
