10 Facts you Didn’t Know about TMT Iron Rods What are TMT Iron Rods? Thermo-Mechanically-Treated (TMT) iron rods are products of innovation and technological advancement in the construction industry. They have become the most common, essential and highly preferred materials in building and construction because of their strong bonding with concrete, great strength and better ductility. They provide better reinforcement to concrete structures and minimize damage caused by earthquakes, corrosion, and thermal agents. Interesting Facts about TMT Iron Rods TMT iron rods have many qualities that give structures undeniable benefits. Let us consider ten facts you probably did not know about TMT iron rods. Thermo-Mechanical Technology TMT iron rods are produced through a unique manufacturing process called thermo-mechanical-treatment where hot steel billets are passed through quenching process. The process hardens the outer surface of the iron rods, enhancing their tensile strength, while the inner core remains soft, increasing their ductility. This alteration in microstructure across the cross-section of the rod imparts enormous strength to it. They are generally used in construction for superior protection against earthquake and other natural disasters. To however ensure safety for your structure, TMT iron rods should be resistant to corrosion as this helps to obtain a longer life to your structure. Uniform rib structure TMT iron rods have uniform rib structure which makes it easy for them to bond perfectly with concrete and cement. This enables the iron rods and concrete hold each other in place and not exist as separate entities forced to stay at one place. The result of this is that the structure is given great strength to bear load and withstand external forces. Peralite Inner Core and Outer Core The manufacturing process of TMT iron rods, which hardens the outer surface of the iron rods, and makes the inner core soft, enhances its tensile strength. This ensures that the structure is strong enough to bear extra load, durable and have long lifespan. TMT iron rods are manufactured in grades. TMT iron rods are produced in different grades. The grade is measured by the strength and rigidity. The grades are Fe-415; Fe-500; Fe-550, and Fe-600. Each grade has its properties and application. This means it is very essential to choose the right TMT iron rod based on its application and usage. Fe-415, for instance, has high uniform elongation and is used in areas which have moderate corrosion and that are prone to earthquakes. TMT iron rods are corrosion and rust-resistant. The manufacturing process of TMT iron rods gives them enhanced rust and corrosion resistance. They have low carbon content which makes them withstand rust and corrosion, and enhance total life of the structure. TMT iron rods have thermal resistance. The right chemistry and physical properties of TMT iron rods ensure that the rods withstand high temperature, moist conditions and fire. Hence, they give buildings and structures longer lifespan. Suitable for all types of construction projects The edge that TMT iron rods have over local iron rods is that they are used for all types of construction projects due to their excellent bendability and flexibility. TMT iron rods can be broadened or bent to suit your construction structure. They are natural-disaster-resistant. The unique manufacturing process of TMT iron rods gives them a high level of ductility. This ensures that when buildings are shaken up during natural disaster, especially earthquake, they can retain their structure. This is the reason why TMT iron rods are highly preferred in major construction projects. TMT iron rods have excellent flexibility and bendability. The intensely advanced quenching process undergone by TMT iron rods hardens the outer layer, thereby giving the iron rods easy bendability. This quality means that TMT iron rods can be moulded into any desired shape without breaking and can be used for various construction purposes. TMT iron rods are defect-free. Also, TMT iron rods do not go through any deformation or twisting processes. This is why their surface is free from cracks and other defects. Choose the genuine TMT brand TIGER TMT iron rods have unmatchable strength, perfect ductility, thermal resistance, and other great qualities that make them suitable for all types of construction. They are used for commercial construction projects such as dams, bridges, high rises, corporate or individual buildings, industrial construction, heavy civil construction and other construction types that require high yield strength.

Good evening. You're in the right place where your questions and concerns can easily be answered and addressed. First of all, you need designs or drawings which will include an architectural and structural drawings to convert your briefs (intentions) into actionable plans. As regards the issue of cost of construction, I'll advise you to hire a Quantity Surveyor to provide a detailed cost estimate of the drawings in order to have a scientific and reliable budget for the proposed building. This is a very important task as this will save you from unnecessary costs and excesses. Good luck. Johnyjustcome: |

jabolo: So I got on this expedition yesterday and here’s what I found out: - low patronage wane the interest of local fabricators. - it cost almost the same amount to produce a 4 x 5 window and a 6 x 7 gate. - it’s a worthwhile investment if there’s ready market for it. - price is determined by materials choice (steel, galvanized steel, aluminum alloy etc) I was billed 120k for 6 x 7 and 105k for 4 x 5. I can invest in this if there’s a govt regulation that made it compulsory for each house to have one per room. Otherwise, it’s really not worth it. 2 Likes |

The construction industry is constantly evolving and so we are The construction industry is constantly changing and evolving. Each year it seems there are new trends in the industry. The three biggest trends that stand out at the moment are energy-efficient housing, budget-friendly design-build, and smart homes. Contractors and construction companies need to stay ahead of the trends so they can give their customers what they want for their homes and projects. Do your research on what is up and coming and be able to explain and promote the products that are popular at this moment. This can help your company by continuing to stay a step ahead of the rest for your customers. In 2014, I invested in some steel shutters for a massive development. 7 years later, we’d be playing same role again as a supporting striker ![]() Tag along as I show you the design process of the steel shutter being designed for a multi-dwelling project in Lagos State Nigeria. Special thanks to my wonderful client and friend for inviting us to be a part of this project. Let’s do it! Different Approach. Different Result. You can’t be thinking of over 200 columns and be looking for wood formwork. There’s always a better way.

n3xt:here's how I survive, I gave someone a quotation three ago, e reach yesterday and I told him it has become invalid. Thank God he understood. Saturday last week, I bought wrought iron rod and went back on Monday to buy more and the salesgirl was on phone with oga getting updated price list. ₦300/rod is what I paid more and I copped as much as I could that day. On December, I bought 2.5mm pan and then went back this January to get another and it has increased by #12,000. But we move!!! modified Someone gave me advance on a job and told me to take my time before buying materials. I just told him that a delay is dangerous for me and to you,e no matter after all you already paid. That reminds of someone quotating #25,000 for wrought iron rails. It will end in premium tears for both client and vendor 3 Likes |
