Engineering

Rebar Threading Process

Three machines per site: Threading Machine, Forging Machine, Power Pack. Three steps. Precise parallel threads on every bar.

01
Square Cutting

The end of the rebar is square cut using a special cutting machine to give a clean, perpendicular face before forging.

02
Forging (Upsetting)

The rebar end is enlarged using cold upsetting dies - no reduction in cross-section through the threaded zone.

03
Thread Cutting

Parallel threads are cut into the enlarged end by rotating chasers, matched to coupler specification for each diameter.

Manufacturing Capabilities

Sonic Tube Manufacturing Process

7-step process from raw ERW pipe to tested, gasket-fitted tube ready for dispatch.

M.S. ERW Pipe
01
M.S. ERW Pipe

Sonic Tubes start as Mild Steel ERW pipe. Pipes are procured from vendors developed to supply Cold Rolled ERW pipes of consistent wall thickness.

Flaring & Beading
02
Flaring & Beading

ERW pipes are flared using a special purpose machine to the desired dimensions. The flared portion then undergoes the Beading Process.

Fixing Ears / Lugs
03
Fixing Ears / Lugs

Fixing ears / lugs are spot welded on the surface of the pipes at appropriate distances to secure sonic tubes to the rebar cage.

TIG Welded End Cap
04
TIG Welded End Cap

Sonic tubes are TIG Argon welded with an MS End Cap - used as the end pipe while installing the sonic tubes in the pile cage.

Rubber Gasket Fitting
05
Rubber Gasket Fitting

Rubber Gaskets are manufactured to fit the beaded portion of the sonic tube and create a push-fit, leak-proof joint during installation.

Rubber Top Cap
06
Rubber Top Cap

Rubber Top Cap covers the sonic tube assembly from the top - preventing debris or foreign material from entering the tube after installation.

Final Assembly & Storage
07
Final Assembly & Storage

After manufacturing, sonic tubes are fitted with rubber gaskets and stored in the storage area, site-ready for dispatch.

After Sales Services

Coupler Joint Preparation - 6 Steps

01
Prepare Rebar Specimen

Square-cut the rebar end using the cutting machine for bar splicing. Clean face ensures optimal forging.

02
Cold Forging

Proceed with cold forging at one end of the rebar using the forging machine to enlarge the cross-section.

03
Thread Cutting

Proceed with threading at the enlarged (forged) end. Quality check the threaded end before assembly.

04
Screw Coupler by Hand

Screw the coupler loosely by hand on one bar, leaving ¾ pitch to 1 pitch of rebar exposed outside the coupler.

05
Screw Second Bar

Screw the second bar into the coupler by hand until contact is made at the joint face.

06
Tighten Both Bars

Tighten BOTH bars (not the coupler) with a pipe wrench to the specified torque to complete the structural joint.

Sonic Tube Installation Method

Push-fit installation - no welding required at site. Six steps from bottom tube placement to pre-pour inspection.

01
Position Bottom Tube

Position the sonic tube with the welded end cap at the bottom of the reinforcement cage - end-cap side facing downward.

02
Secure to Cage

Secure the sonic tube assembly to the reinforcement cage using binding wires through the fixing ears.

03
Push-Fit Jointing

Align the fixing ears properly. Install the subsequent sonic tube by push-fitting it into the rubber gasket to form a leak-proof joint.

04
Seal the Joint

Tie binding wires around the joint. Apply masking tape over both ends of the rubber joint for additional leak-proofing.

05
Repeat & Cut Top Tube

Repeat the procedure for each tube length. Cut the final top tube to the required length and install following the same method.

06
Fix Top Cap & Inspect

Fix the top rubber cap on the topmost tube. Inspect the complete assembly before lowering the cage into the bored pile.

Cross Hole Sonic Logging
CSL Test

CSL integrity testing allows evaluation of concrete integrity and homogeneity within the shaft area. Results determine the location and severity of potential shaft anomalies. CSL is a quick test that has no depth restrictions - making it ideal for large-diameter, deep bored piles.
