PT Krakatau Steel (Persero) Tbk together with PT Tata Metal Lestari (Tatalogam Group) developed the KRASHome product, a residential building made from modern steel construction with the concept of Light Pre-Engineered Building (Light PEB).The collaboration for the development of Total Steel Solution was marked by a memorandum of understanding (MoU) between the two parties which was carried out at the PT Tata Metal Lestari factory in the Delta Silicon Valley Industrial area, Cikarang, Bekasi, (31/3/2022).The Memorandum of Understanding was signed by Krakatau Stee's Director of Business Development, Purwono Widodo and Vice President of PT Tata Metal Lestari, Stephanus Koeswandi."KRASHome is the result of a combination of Cold-Form Galvalume Steel structural design with the use of high-quality materials.The concept of this Light Pre-Engineered Building means that the construction is light and easy to assemble," explained Purwono.The raw material for Cold-Form Galvalume Steel used by PT Tata Metal Lestari is Krakatau Steel's Cold Rolled Coil (CRC) product with SPCC 1D full hard CRC specifications.Purwono added that KRASHome's effective and efficient installation system resulted in buildings that were strong and built quickly.The use of purlin steel or high-strength galvanized steel (hi-ten) for the entire main structure of aluminum-zinc coated steel, makes the life of the building longer and more economical."All Purlin steel components are produced with a cut to length system (as needed) so that no material is wasted.Bolt holes are also made automatically and integrated with Purlin steel production to produce more precise products," continued Purwono.This KRASHome product will also help expand Krakatau Steel's steel market which is strengthened by Krakatau Steel's strategic partner, namely PT Tata Metal Lestari, which is also known for its purlin steel products in the Indonesian construction market.On the same occasion, Vice President of PT Tata Metal Lestari (Tatalogam Group), Stephanus Koeswandi said, previously PT Tata Metal Lestari had already innovated by making light steel construction-based housing intended for residential, both commercial and temporary housing and residential remain in disaster-affected locations.Because of its innovation, the product which was later named the Domus instant house received an award at the 2021 Industrial Technology Pioneers (RINTEK) event. This award was given by the government as a form of appreciation to the national industry which has consistently succeeded in producing and implementing the utilization of industrial technology through investment and technology development activities. independently."The hallmark of PT Tata Metal Lestari's steel construction-based housing is its assembly process which is easy to do and relatively fast, because that is what is needed in areas affected by disasters.From there, we initiated something similar aimed at building employee dormitories like KRASHome.The difference with our previous products, KrasHome is designed for a larger capacity.It can be built with 2 or 3 floors that can accommodate hundreds of people safely and comfortably," said Stephanus.Previously, after accompanying the PT Karakatau Steel group on a tour of PT Tata Metal Lestari's production facilities, GM Business Development Tatalogam Group, Harsono Mintono also explained, the use of a steel structure connection system using stainless bolts/nuts in both Domus and KrasHome houses makes it easy to disassemble construction steel whose steel structure uses high-tensile coated steel material."The short installation time so that the building can be used more quickly and the weight of the building is much lighter are the advantages of this product.Overall, the use of KRASHome for residential steel construction has also become more economical," Harsono concluded.You must be logged in to post a comment.Get the most out of SWA by signing in to your accountOr select your favorite social network to get started
