In the current construction business – especially for RCC (reinforced cement concrete) construction – TMT bars or sariyas have become the default choice of steel. Whether the building is a family home or a multi-storied, office complex or a civil structure like a bridge – high-quality TMT steel is the base material (along with concrete) that provides long-term strength to the structure.

However, you can’t just go to the market and pick up the first truckload of sariya that you come across! To ensure your structure gets the finest materials, you have to choose the best from the various brands and grades of TMT sariyasavailable in the construction industry.

Here are some criteria that you must check before selecting your TMT bars –

1. Decide on the TMT bar grade needed: 
TMT bar/sariya comes in several grades – Fe-500, Fe-550, Fe-500 D, and Fe-550 D – a higher grade will be stronger. The most used grades are Fe-500 and Fe-550 along with their variants such as Fe-500 D and Fe-550 D. The variant grades offer more ductility, which is highly recommended for earthquake-prone areas such as some parts of Central India.

Once you have decided on your requirement, scout around for TMT bar manufacturers who produce steel bars with the right technology, for example, Moira Sariya uses the industry-leading German CRS technology to produce its TMT bars.

2. Find out more about the manufacturer:
Once you have narrowed down on a few manufacturers, it is advisable to find out more about their manufacturing processes and overall industry reputation. You can also compare prices and availability at this point. For example: for construction in Indore or surrounding areas, it makes sense to buy from TMT bar manufacturers in or around Indore as you would then do away with the additional expenses of cartage and distribution.

3. Check features of the TMT bar:
When you have zeroed in on a TMT bar manufacturer, the next step would be to check the various details of the TMT bars they produce. Most TMT sariyas are corrosion resistant, and companies carry our periodic checks to test the rust-proof quality of their bars. The elongation and ductility of the TMT bars must also be checked as they are critical for making earthquake-proof structures. Most of this information is freely available on the company website.

4. Stamps and seals:
After you have decided on the manufacturers and the quantity and grade of TMT sariya needed, you should approach dealers and place your order. Be sure to check all seals and manufacturer’s stamps to ensure you get genuine TMT bars.

Ultimately..
We all aim for longevity when we make any building or RCC edifice. To ensure that the structure endures and lasts through its expected life cycle, you need to build it with industry-grade TMT steel bars.
