As the demand for sustainability in construction materials increases, the steel industry needs to outdo mere recyclability of products and set new trends in the field of sustainable construction and ecological innovation.
In recognition of this need, GPH Ispat Limited aims to develop products that provide its customers with eco-efficiency gains along with increased profitability. Our consideration of ecological progressiveness and business development drives us forward to our overall goal of increased production sustainability.
We develop value-added products, working alongside our customers to meet their needs and anticipate future trends. Our Research & Development department, focuses its efforts on the development of high-strength rebar tailored for markets, in which we have successfully developed cutting-edge solutions. This adds value in a number of different ways: it strengthens our business potential for market access and sales, it bolsters our contributions to the Bangladeshi economy, and it provides our construction clients with more environmentally friendly and profitable solutions.
New product development
GPH Ispat Limited has focused its recent efforts on the development of a new high-strength rebar with yield strength ≥ 600Mpa.
In the past, GPH Ispat Limited has produced rebar of 40 grade, 60 grade, B420DWR, B500CWR and B500DWR complying with BDS ISO 6935-2, BS 4449 and ASTM A 615, ASTM A 706 specifications. Eager for innovation and improvement, however, and in acknowledgment of the benefits of higher yield-strength rebar, GPH Ispat has managed to successfully develop a new high-strength rebar with a yield strength of 600MPa, conforming to ASTM Gr. 80 and BDS ISO 6935-2 grade B600C-R and above.
This new high-strength rebar is considered to be a cost-efficient product. By leading to reduction in column size of heavily loaded structures, its use will relieve rebar congestion and further reduce steel consumption in construction by approximately 20-25%, in addition to lowering the overall cost. Thus, the product provides savings to our clients by reducing both the amount of rebar needed and the amount of construction materials (e.g., concrete) required to support the rebar. In addition, the reduction in column size frees up greater floor space for use by building developers, resulting in greater overall profitability.
GPH also started developing of CHQ and PST steel as well as wire rod for high-strength application.
Waste Management
A comprehensive procedure has been developed for identification, segregation, collection and disposal of waste generated within our operations. Most of our waste products are non-hazardous.
For example, EAF slags, EAF dust, mills scale are notable waste products. We currently sell them to external customers. R&D team of GPH has studied and implemented various options to reuse / recycle the production waste. In this direction, GPH has undertaken various initiatives in the non-hazardous waste management segment. For many years, unsegregated waste generated in the company used to be sent to the landfill. In order to reduce the negative environmental impact resulting from the same, we started segregating waste from the source point of generation and diverted the recyclable waste to recyclers. We have collaboration with BUET to extract valuable product from the waste dust materials like Zinc.We have little amount of hazardous waste generation which is stored at an approved hazardous waste storage area and shall be disposed locally by the third parties within the coverage of disposal contract.
Process Development
Process development is integral to GPH Ispat’ s continued economic success and pursuit of sustainable steel.
GPH Ispat Limited continuously carries out improvements and modifications to site equipment and processes. These improvements and modifications continually enhance the working environment by enhancing safety for operators and reducing dust emissions and other impacts on the environment.
Product and Quality Improvement
GPH Ispat Limited strives to provide its customers with the best steel products that meet and exceed international standards.
The use of stringent quality-control system qualifies GPH Ispat for several international management systems such as ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 45001 and product certifications like product conformity certifications for rebar conforming to different international standards such as BS 4449:2005, ASTM A706 and BDS ISO 6935-2: 2021
The Quality Control laboratory is equipped with sophisticated instruments to check the raw materials, process parameters and finished goods quality. QC and R&D team jointly working for product and quality improvement. They seek to develop value-added products, working alongside customers to meet their needs and anticipate future trends.
GPH Ispat Limited is one of the leading integrated steel manufacturing companies in Bangladesh engaged in the manufacturing and trading of M. S. Billet and M. S. Rod.
