D.P. Wires Galvanized LRPC Strand

The D.P. Wires Galvanized LRPC Strand, from D.P. Wires Limited, has been developed for extreme corrosive environments, becoming one of the first Indian producers to offer this coating locally instead of importing it.

In line with IS 14268 / ASTM A416 / BS 5896 (on request) requirements, breaking loads range the base bright LRPC strand hot-dip galvanized before it leaves the Ratlam plant, and it can additionally be supplied bonded or unbonded to suit the anchorage system the designer has specified.

Site engineers turn to the D.P. Wires Galvanized LRPC Strand for coastal bridge piers, marine structures, stay cables and any application where the design life demands corrosion protection beyond what a bare bright strand can offer on its own.

Paperwork accompanying the D.P. Wires Galvanized LRPC Strand includes reference clients that include the National Highways Authority of India, several state Public Works Divisions, Nuclear Power Corporation, and the Delhi, Kolkata, Bhopal, Indore, Gujarat and Maharashtra metro rail corporations. D.P. Wires backs each dispatch with its own concurrent quality-control testing rather than relying solely on third-party sign-off.

On-site handling of the D.P. Wires Galvanized LRPC Strand follows standard prestressing steel practice: cut only with an abrasive disc cutter or shear cutter, never with a flame or welding torch, since heat changes the steel’s microstructure and its mechanical properties. Coils should be unloaded with a crane rather than dropped off the vehicle, stored under cover on a raised platform away from direct ground or water contact, and protected with a vapour phase inhibitor if they will sit on site for an extended period before stressing.
