Habib Makina Warns

April 10, 2023

Correct processing of steel is essential for the construction of earthquake-resistant steel structures!

Habib Makina, which is a professional solution partner in Turkey's most prestigious projects from bridges to airports, from ships to power plants in steel pipe cutting and beveling, warns: It is of great importance to process steel correctly to increase the earthquake resistance of steel structures!

Steel structures and buildings, which are building systems whose structural systems are completely manufactured and assembled from steel, are preferred because they provide more resistance against earthquakes and all other natural disasters compared to other building systems. However, in order to increase the earthquake resistance of these buildings, it is of great importance to process steel correctly during their construction. Habib Makina, which is a professional solution partner in Turkey's most prestigious projects such as Osmangazi Bridge, Yavuz Sultan Selim Bridge and Çanakkale Bridge in steel pipe cutting and beveling, draws attention to the correct application of the beveling process in order to build earthquake-resistant steel structures in a robust manner.

Emphasizing that it is not enough to use steel structural systems to increase the earthquake resistance of buildings, Yusuf Habib, Deputy Chairman of Habib Makina, said: “It is not enough to use steel in earthquake-resistant buildings. It is also extremely important to process steel correctly to increase the earthquake resistance of buildings. Cold cutting and welding mouth process should be preferred in order to process the steel correctly and to hold the weld on the plates / pipes. For this reason, especially in steel structures to be built after the recent earthquake, cutting and beveling with flame or grinding should be stopped in order to ensure earthquake safety.

In order to easily perform cold steel processing applications, which are extremely important for the earthquake resistance of buildings, portable machines are used instead of bench type. GBC, one of the world's leading brands that we distribute in Turkey, is preferred by Turkey's leading companies with its professional solutions in steel pipe cutting and beveling. GBC Beveling Machines were used in the construction of Osmangazi Bridge, Yavuz Sultan Selim Bridge and Çanakkale Bridge. In addition, the cutting and beveling of the pipelines of BOTAŞ, which constructs the natural gas pipelines in Turkey, is also carried out in the field and cold.”.

GBC is recognized around the world as “the easy solution to difficult problems”

Stating that they have brought together the leading brands of Europe, America and the Far East with the Turkish industry with their 43 years of experience in the sector, Habib Makina Vice President Yusuf Habib said, “We have been the distributor of GBC, one of the world's leading brands in steel pipe cutting and beveling, for 22 years.
