Sunvik Steels Pvt Ltd, a primary steel producer, has carved a niche for itself with its unique, premium range of TMT bars – Sunvik GOLD. Headquartered in Bengaluru, Sunvik’s integrated steel plant is located at Jodideverahalli in Sira Taluk, Tumkur District, Karnataka. Leveraging cutting-edge German technology in the manufacturing process, the company’s emphasis on excellence of quality is evident in all the products, which include sponge iron, billets, power, TMT bars and now READYFIX solution.

Sunvik’s READYFIX is an endeavour to serve the infrastructure industry. READYFIX stands as an effort to simplify and strengthen hassle free construction process.

Sunvik READYFIX is made with accurate angles and lengths as per BIS standards. The 135 angle bend and 75 mm length cut helps the stirrups to hold on tightly with the straight rods in columns which in turn will give much more withstanding capacity to the structure in events like earthquake.

Product development
Sunvik has installed a state-of-the-art European fully automated computerised line that cuts and bends steel with absolute precision. The latest computer controlled shear-line cutting machine, robotic double bender, single robotic benders and stirrup machinery, enables Sunvik to cut and bend bars of diameters that range from 8 mm to 40 mm. The machines can bend steel or stirrups to any geometrical shape at an accuracy of (±) 1.

Benefits
READYFIX addresses the conventional challenges faced by the construction industry, which are unskilled labour; inaccurate measurements; manual cutting; manual bending; public hindrance; theft and pilferage; project delay and scrap disposal at site.

At the other end READYFIX provides several advantages including superior build quality; improving inventory; offering better health and safety at construction site; avoiding wastage at site, ushering new era of easy procurement; reducing theft or pilferage; reduced labour dependency; and ensuring freedom in designing.

Sunvik not only offers READYFIX solution but also fixes it with its dedicated and trained workforce thereby ensuring its’ customers face zero problem on the labour front. Most importantly ensure timely construction of project.

Cost effectiveness
A market research initiated by Sunvik has estimated that consumers using READYFIX could save around 5 per cent to 7 per cent cost in steel, which takes into account reduced wastage, pilferage, lower cutting and bending labour cost, lower inventory carrying cost and pilferage and overlapping.

The market survey revealed that on an average customer lands up spending a minimum of ` 6,000/- to ` 7,000/- per tonne in the conventional cutting and bending of 40 feet length TMT rebar. Laying the cut and bent steel is another additional expense. By using READYFIX the consumer can save upto 50 per cent of the costs incurred in cutting, bending and laying and in addition gets the advantage of timely completion of the project and hassle free steel procurement.

Green element
READYFIX is primarily manufactured using Sunvik Gold XX 500 TMT bars. These rebar are manufactured at Sunvik’s state-of-the-art integrated steel plant wherein key measures have been adopted in the overall manufacturing process to lower the greenhouse gas emissions that contribute to climate change. Also, when READYFIX is used in a construction project, there is no scrap generated at site, hence no wastage. Since less steel is wasted, project is automatically moving towards a green building concept.
