BEEKAY Group
The Beekay Group is built on a strong foundation of production excellence and continuous improvement. The Group has a true backbone of steel - flexible, durable - and incredibly strong. Born in 1972 as a rolling mill in Kolkata, it took Beekay just 20 years to expand beyond Bengal, setting up state-of-the-art facilities in Vizag, Chennai and Jamshedpur. Product quality, servicing and competitive pricing created a winning mix for the Group. Years of industrial research and quality control has made Beekay a trusted name across sectors. Executive Chairman, Mr. Suresh Bansal, mirrors Beekay’s high standards in his working method. Under his able leadership, Beekay Group hopes to continue scaling new heights without compromising on quality, and be among the top steel manufacturers of the world.

Specifications
Made from the best prime billets using German Turbo Quench® technology, the BEEKAY Turbo Fe500D rebars bring a mix of superior strength and high ductility. This ensures a longer life for the concrete reinforcement structures and high earthquake resistance compared to CTD bars. The deep ribbed design with closer rib spacing achieved through computer-controlled CNC machines creates better bonding between steel and concrete. Thus, you get ‘Max strength, Max ductility and Max bond’ with BEEKAY Turbo Fe500D.
Upgraded infrastructure and state-of-the-art plants ensure that the rebars have just the right proportion of sulphur and phosphorus. This gives them greater thermal stability and makes them more earthquake resistant.
The rebars meet and surpass the IS:1786 benchmarks.

Our Process
What happens when experience meets modern technology? A product like BEEKAY Turbo TMT is born.
High on quality, features and credibility, BEEKAY Turbo TMT is the combined output of a fifty-year-old legacy and the most modern technology. The rebars made with Turbo Quench® technology from Germany, are produced in our state-of-the-art plants. All under careful supervision of our highly experienced engineers and metallurgists.
At first the hot-rolled bar is quenched by a special water gush spray system. The spray system cools the surface of the bar. This leads to a martensitic rim on the outside and a hot, austenitic core on the inside.
While the bar remains cold externally, the hot core continues transferring its heat to it. Thus, the outer layer gets tempered and is called ‘tempered martensite’. The inner layer remains austenitic at this stage.
The final stage ends at the automatic cooling bed. The austenitic core gets transformed into a ductile ferrite-pearlite structure here. Thus, the end product, BEEKAY Turbo Fe500D, is a mix of a strong outer layer and a softer centre that makes the rebar more ductile.
