TATA BlueScope launch SMARTRUSS System Image file

TATA BlueScope Steel, a 50:50 JV between TATA Steel and BlueScope Steel, has announced launch of LYSAGHT SMARTRUSS® system, a technologically advanced steel roof support system for all types of roofs and buildings. SMARTRUSS® system builds on the experience and product knowledge to enhance construction practice for the building segment and has offered an innovation in construction technology.

Its manufacturing plant at Sriperumbudur, Tamil Nadu will be supplying these truss systems for the customers in South Asian countries.

According to the company, the new offer exhibits a range of benefits over other building materials. SMARTRUSS® system is made from light weight high strength steel which provides inner strength to protect and maintain the roof’s structural integrity and quality of construction. It is light weight and therefore easier to handle, store and transport. SMARTRUSS® system is durable and strong, non-combustible, termite resistant and offers better corrosion protection and a maintenance free life. The truss members are made from ZINCALUME® steel which is 100% recyclable and an extremely environmentally friendly option for construction. Moreover, SMARTRUSS® system is designed to support any type of roofing product and provides a sustainable base to roof aesthetics.

Mr Chris Hargreaves president of TATA BlueScope Steel said “SMARTRUSS® system has been tested and researched extensively at the BlueScope Steel R&D centres in Sydney, Australia. It has been extremely successful and has proven performance in several countries including Australia, China and South East Asian nations, for residential, commercial and even small industrial applications.”

Mr Hakimuddin Ali VP Building Products and Distribution of TATA BlueScope Steel says “SMARTRUSS® system is an ideal solution to replace the current practices with the more advanced techniques that will elevate the way we do construction. The SMARTRUSS® system technology comes with many benefits such as fast and accurate design, custom built truss solution, which offers aesthetics along with speedy construction.”
