There is no need to worry because the government will continue to strive to accelerate infrastructure development in all provinces. However, there are many things that need to be considered such as industry readiness and the resources we have.

A workshop was held a few moments ago that discusses improving the strategy for using mild steel. The industry players must understand new innovation, technology, and the importance of safety standards to make everything done well. To support development, the use of materials need to meet the standard.

Industry in Indonesia has to respond to the existing demand quickly with good quality. We must use good quality materials, implement safety standards, and applying quality control to make a good quality product. Industry Indonesia must be able to compete in providing the best products compared to imported products.

The Covid-19 pandemic has led to changes in plans for the Country budget. Some sectors stop and focus on health issues. Likewise in the steel, construction, and steel industries experienced a decline in demand. Other countries also experience a decline in demand and also make a decline in production by up to 50%.

Currently, the Country is developing a strategy to increase the use of mild steel. One way is to encourage the use of SNI 8399-2017 for light steel frames and other SNIs for other mild steel products. Secretary-General Gapensi appreciated what business actors and the government have done in improving the national light steel industry. There are still many opportunities we can develop because many innovations had made.

The effort to increase the demand for national light steel is in line with President Joko Widodo’s expectations of how to increase domestic production and national economic recovery during a pandemic.

Indonesia is located right on the equator, it makes Indonesia has a natural wealth of flora and fauna. Indonesia has so many natural products. However, apart from a wide variety of natural resources, Indonesia is also a country that frequently occurs in earthquakes. Earthquakes occur due to many factors such as mountains or shifts in the earth’s plates.

The occurrence of natural disasters requires us to be prepared for everything that happens next. Of course, we don’t want natural disasters to ruin our lives. One of the preparations we have to do is to make our house an earthquake-resistant building. Earthquake resistant buildings will minimize our losses when a disaster occurs.

We cannot avoid natural disasters, but at least we can minimize the impact. The most dangerous impact is to cause victims. Avoiding casualties is by making earthquake-resistant buildings. A good structure is a structure that can withstand and respond to shocks so that it does not collapse.

The construction of earthquake-resistant buildings must take into account and analyze the use of materials, placement of structures, and loads. When you want to build, you should first consult with experienced construction services and suppliers in order to get maximum results.

 

These are several things you need to consider when building earthquake-resistant buildings

 

1. Foundation

The foundation’s function to transmit loads to the ground and is an important structure in a building.

2. Concrete

You can make concrete by mixing sand, gravel, water, and cement. The application of concrete must meet the standards to be sturdy and earthquake resistant.

3. Reinforce concrete

Producing a well-reinforced concrete requires a vibrator.

4. Lightweight materials

You should choose your materials wisely for the house. Do not use materials that increase the load on the building.

5. The constructs are tied to each other

The connection of the foundation and other parts in the house must be connected properly. When it is properly tied up, the house will become stronger and can distribute the earthquake load evenly

We often hear of a building that looks sturdy and big but it turns out to be fragile and easily crumbles. Many factors can affect the condition of the building. In September, an office building in Jakarta was collapsed and destroyed the road. That is the importance of regular maintenance of the building.

The causes of damage to buildings usually occur due to these factors:

1. Quality of building materials

Preventing damage can be done by choosing quality building materials that are suitable for building needs. You do not need to cut budgets and reduce material quality in order to get benefits from a project.

2. Human error

Human error is the most common thing due to negligence, lack of education, or miscalculation. Not a big thing, but the effects will be very detrimental in the future.

3. Loads that are too heavy

Planning before starting a construction must-see long-term goals because each building has characteristics. Often the change in the function of the building causes damage because the load it accommodates does not match the building capacity.

4. Weak foundation structure

The foundation is the main thing in a construction project. Before you start to execute, you must properly calculate the build of the foundation.

5. There are no building tests

Testing the building is a must before starting to use it. Usually, buildings will be tested when experiencing natural disasters and see their resistance.

Maintenance of the Building

It is not only during the construction process that needs attention but when the building is in operation it must be well maintained. Performing maintenance on a building regularly will make the building more durable and strong. Sometimes crucial things happen because the building owners are not paid much attention to building maintenance.

Building maintenance must be carried out optimally and regularly in order to prevent damage to the building, maintain stability, and maintain the value of building assets. Several things in the building that need attention:

1. Repair the roof of the building

2. Check the water pipe to keep it in prime condition

3. Keep the walls from damp

4. The windows of a building must be clean and easy to open

5. Keep the ladder strong

So, the first thing first is to choose the best material for your construction and do some regular maintenance. We provide All your best materials need such as pipe, HBEAM, Hollow, WF. Don’t hesitate to let us know about your project and you can choose SBU as your supplier.

We often see a roof is leaking in a building such as a house or a shop. The reasons because it uses wood material. Besides being not eco friendly, wood will rot very quickly if it is exposed to large amounts of water for a long time. The way to minimize the possibility of a leaky roof is to replace the roof covering material with zincalum.

Zincalum is a material made from mild steel coated with aluminum and zinc. 55% of the layer is aluminum, while 43.5% is elemental zinc and 1.5% is elemental silicon. Aluminum makes zincalum rust-resistant and lightweight. Besides being a roof covering, zincalum is often used as a material for exterior aesthetics.

 

The Advantages of Zincalum Roofs

 

1. Rust and Corrosion Resistant

Zinc, aluminum, and resin make zincalum resistant to rust and not easily scuffed.

2. Easy to Cut and Shape

This material is a lightweight material so it is easy to cut and shape

3. Resistant to Temperature and Extreme Weather

Resistance to temperature and weather is the advantage of zincalum because it has gone through the manufacturing process at a temperature of 600 Fahrenheit

4. Able to Reflect Heat

There is a layer of passivation so that the surface becomes shiny and can reflect light and heat.

5. Has high tensile strength/tension

Steel roofs have high tensile strength or tension. So, this type of roof is able to support the building stably and minimize the risk of collapse

6. Varying models

There are many choices of models or variations. You can adjust the models according to your taste

 

Even though zincalum is a lightweight and strong material, how to treat it also needs attention. Treatment affects the quality and performance of material.

1. Do not store zinc alum on the floor, use wooden to supports the materials.

2. Do not put metal materials near to avoid friction.

3. When you want to connect the zincalume with the other, use a material made from zinc.
