Jamshedpur, February 7, 2024: Tata Steel is collaborating with SER division to develop sustainable rail infrastructure by utilizing its slag-based aggregates. In a one-of-a-kind initiative, Tata Aggreto & Tata Nirman will be used extensively in construction of blanketing layer in railway track. Tata Steel and SER will jointly work to enhance usage of slag-based manufactured aggregates which will replace natural aggregates.

A delegation from SER division led by Shri Anil Kumar Mishra, General Manager, SER, met Tata Steel senior executives and deliberated on the project execution today. GM, SER emphasised that utilisation of the sustainable alternatives is the need of the hour, and it will also help in conserving the ecology.

He also applauded the role of Tata Steel in development of the sustainable building materials to cater to the needs of the construction industry. 

In the endeavor to transform Steel Slag into sustainable aggregates, Tata Steel has set-up a state-of-the art accelerated weathering facility for processing of LD slag through steam ageing. A dedicated lab has been set-up to ensure Quality Assurance the product. Tata Steel had launched India’s first branded LD slag products – Tata Aggreto and Tata Nirman.
