Jindal supplies stainless steel for India’s first stainless steel diagrid frame building in Chennai

Chennai, Mar 7 (UNI) Jindal Stainless Limited (JSL), India’s largest stainless steel manufacturer, has supplied stainless steel to India’s first diagrid structure, which serves as the new head office building of the United India Insurance Company Ltd (UIIC) in Chennai.
Union Minister for Finance and Corporate Affairs Ms Nirmala Sitharaman launched the building from New Delhi, a JSL release said here on Thursday.
The iconic building is made with stainless steel frames which are connected to the central core through lateral beams. Redefying conventional construction, there are no columns in this structure, and these stainless steel frames serve as the main load-bearing structure in the building.
A diagrid structural system is a framework made by the intersection of different materials like metals, concrete, or wooden beams.
This landmark building on the arterial Anna Salai boasts a distinctive double curvature profile with earthquake-resistant and energy-efficient features.
JSL supplied approximately 1000 tonnes of 316L grade high-quality stainless steel for the construction of this new UIIC building. The 62-meter-tall edifice adheres to the Indian Green Building Council standards with due design approval from the esteemed Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Madras and IIT Bombay.
Commenting on this development, JSL Managing Director Abhyuday Jindal said, “I am proud of my team that we are a part of this iconic building; it’s an architectural marvel in glass and stainless steel, and most certainly a feast for the eyes. Its aesthetic exteriors are buffeted by the load-bearing and disaster-proof attributes of stainless steel, which makes this structure resistant to corrosion and early ageing."
"As we progress towards the era of Amrit Kaal, this is the kind of advancement in infrastructure that we are bound to see. I congratulate the United India Insurance Company and the team of architects involved in choosing the right metal to make this bold start in India. And I assure India’s construction industry that we are here to innovate and tailor-make products for their cutting-edge projects”, he said.
