Billets

Raw materials used for billet production are scrap metal sourced from neighboring provinces in the southern Philippines (Visayas and Mindanao regions), through its own collection network or major scrap consolidators.

Scrap or waste metal comes from old, unwanted vehicle parts, building supplies and surplus materials, which are taken to a scrapyard. The scrap metal goes through a process of sorting, layering, melting and mold casting to form the required billet shape and size. The billets are sold to downstream users who manufacture bars and sections.

Steel Pipes

Electric Resistance Welded (ERW) Pipes
Electric Resistance Welded (ERW) pipes are produced from hot rolled steel strips or skelp. They are rolled into respective sizes and welded longitudinally. ERW pipes are used for general construction applications such as plumbing, water transmission, scaffolding and fencing.

Spiral Welded Pipes
Spiral Welded Pipes are produced from hot rolled steel strips spirally roll-formed into respective sizes and welded along the edge of the strip. They are used for general construction applications where large diameter pipes are needed , e.g., piling, bulk water transmission, etc.

Electric Resistance Welding Machine with Stretched Reduced Mill (ERW-SRM) Pipes
ERW-SRM pipes are essentially produced using the ERW process. The pipes are then subjected to tension and reduction forces under moderate temperature conditions to produce virtually seamless pipes.

ERW-SRM pipes are used for medium pressure applications for oil wells, boiler pipes, fluid and gas transmission.

Seamless Pipes
Seamless pipes are produced from billets through a hot draw and extrusion process. They are used for high pressure applications in oil field development and oil production, high temperature applications..
