Products:

• Conductors - Overhead Aluminium Conductors (OAC) are used for transmitting electricity in Transmission Line Projects. Several numbers of aluminium wires are coiled together depending upon the degree of voltage of electricity which is intended to be passed through it. In order to provide strength to OAC, steel wires are reinforced in between the aluminium wires so that it can withstand the pressures of wind velocities, thunderstorms, and climate and wind velocities.
• Towers - Transmission tower is a tall structure, usually a steel lattice tower, used to support overhead electricity conductors for electric power transmission. They are used in high voltage systems as well as for railway electrification, and come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes.
• Aluminium Alloys - Aluminium alloys are alloys in which aluminium is the predominant metal. The application of aluminium alloys is in auto ancillary industry. Aluminium alloys are widely used in automotive engines, particularly in cylinder blocks & crankcases due to the weight savings that is possible.
