If the Eiffel Tower was built today, it would require just 25 percent of the steel used for its construction in 1887. This is one example of the impressive development of material science. But as material science develops, so too does the need to find more efficient ways of producing important metals such as steel. Thai-Scandic Steel (TSS), located in Thailand, has dedicated the last 30 years to enhancing procedures and growing human resources to not only reduce costs but also raise product and service quality.
“Our mission is to innovatively create value and make a difference in our products and services, to deliver premium quality with competitive price of steel structures, engineering and galvanizing services for industrial infrastructures as well as general purposes for worldwide markets and to develop ourselves to provide general steel and steel for a construction project from design to completion with the highest satisfaction by offering value-added project management services”, says Benjagoon Pongpoon, General Manager, Thai-Scandic Steel. Thai-Scandic Steel (TSS), a prominent supplier of galvanized steel structures since its establishment in 1992, provides transmission line towers, telecommunication towers, substation buildings, and general steel structures for both domestic and international markets.
Adapting to the Market Needs
TSS offers a comprehensive range of services including complete engineering design, steel fabrication, hot-dip galvanizing, and modular packing service, TSS has delivered over 400,000 tons of various steel structures. Modern Computerized Numerical Control (CNC) machinery, specialized equipment, and techniques are all available at TSS for the production of steel fabrication works. With dimensions of 3m x 9m x 2.5m, the company’s ceramic zinc bath is the largest in South East Asia and can provide Hot Dip Galvanizing (HDG) services for different-sized steel. Operating for more than 30 years, TSS has grown alongside Thailand’s expansion of its transmission line networks and the modern telecommunications period becoming
one of the early suppliers of Transmission line towers for the Nigerian network development project.Since it began conducting business on June 26, 1992, TSS has provided different types of steel building materials to more than 40 nations. Offering a wide variety of structural steel services, with a focus on the fabrication of 500 kV, 230 kV, and 115 kV high voltage tower types that adhere to international standards for steel works and HDG services. TSS is competent to construct several kinds of steel structures for substations and communication towers.
“Our commitment to clients and suppliers in high quality of works and services with competitive prices has been consistent and uncompromising. Our latest work at the SAT-1 Project of Suvarnabhumi International Airport in Thailand has been a showcase of our capability in design & engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) complex structural steel that supports the outbound passenger baggage conveyor system from the main terminal to SAT-1 terminal. The project was completed within the committed schedule and budget”, adds Benjagoon Pongpoon. TSS is not only a leader in steel fabrication, but it is also a subsidiary of Berli Jucker PCL (BJC), which has a rich and unique history in the trade, manufacturing, and servicing areas in Thailand. They have strong management and financial backing, which allows for providing services for projects and tasks of all sizes.
Outlining the Future
Due to changes in engineering design and reduced project timelines, the market in SE Asia has grown more competitive. As a result, structural steelwork service providers must adapt to meet project owners’ needs and improve their competencies. TSS anticipates development in Thailand as a result of the country’s improving economy and support from government initiatives, particularly the creation of the Eastern Economic Corridor (EEC), which encourages new investment across a range of sectors. The quality and standards of fabrication and HDG work are essentially what the clients expect from the finished products. TSS maintains close communication with its customers and suppliers to better understand their needs and feedback, which is then analyzed and translated into better production methods and services.
Our Commitment To Clients And Suppliers In High-Quality Of Works And Services With Competitive Prices Has Been Consistent And Uncompromising
In the coming years, TSS will focus more on transmission and communication tower projects from foreign nations where local steel and fabrication costs have surpassed budgets. Additionally, they aim to handle the entire supply chain for distributing the towers to clients in other countries as necessary.
