HMT Pillar - Structural Steel Tubes
Pillar Tubes have emerged as the pinnacle choice for both commercial and residential projects. Elevating buildings with a futuristic touch, these black hollow sections are APL Apollo’s answer to constructing designs that push boundaries. These structural steel sections empower the creation of diverse architectural forms, making them ideal for warehouses, commercial centers, bridges, multi-story edifices, and more.
In the realm of structural components, Hollow Steel sections stand as indispensable elements, offering exceptional tensile strength and unparalleled load-bearing capacity. APL Apollo’s Pillar Tubes elevate this by delivering superior compression performance and a remarkable strength-to-weight ratio. Furthermore, these sections present extended radii of gyration around both axes, significantly reducing weight while enhancing structural efficiency.
Available in both rectangular and circular profiles, these sections also augment construction efficiency by imparting durability and ease of manipulation during bending, punching, and drilling. A multitude of compelling reasons propels APL Apollo tubes to the forefront of choice for your construction ventures.
Hollow Structural Sections (HSS) have seamlessly integrated into the realm of pre-engineered buildings (PEB), experiencing a surge in popularity over the past decade. These hollow steel sections not only expedite project timelines but also slash material wastage, thereby optimizing costs in a compelling manner. As a testament to innovation and sustainability, HMTech Forge’s HMT Pillar is poised to shape the future of construction.

HMT Pillar stands as a revolutionary force within the construction landscape. Moreover, it not only revolutionizes the industry but also curbs steel consumption and waste, leading to streamlined project timelines. These Hollow Steel Structures are meticulously fashioned using ERW technology, wherein steel coils undergo cold forming to achieve a round cylindrical shape. Longitudinal welding is yet another technique employed in the production of ERW tubes.
Innovation reaches its zenith with the utilization of Direct Forming Technology (DFT) in crafting HMT Square Pillars. This cutting-edge approach facilitates the creation of custom-sized structural steel tubes without necessitating roll alterations. Consequently, the setup time undergoes an unparalleled reduction, minimizing welding requirements and consequently curtailing costs and timelines. This computerized DFT method further equips the process with the ability to automatically adjust tube dimensions, embodying efficiency in its truest sense.
HMT Pillar demonstrates remarkable torsional strength, rendering these rectangular steel tubes an exceptional option for fire resistance and consistency. These tubes boast an array of advantages, including:
- Design Flexibility: The hollow and lightweight nature of Steel Column Structures empowers engineers and architects to tailor tubes according to project requirements, allowing for unique sizing and customization.
- Uniform Strength: ERW steel tubes exhibit uniform strength due to the absence of a weaker axis. Hollow tubes are crafted with an even distribution of material around their axis.
- Ease of Painting: Square Column tubes possess 30%-40% less surface area compared to equivalent built-up sections. Their uniform and smooth shape simplifies painting and transportation.
- Enhanced Torsional Strength: Offering 200 times greater torsional resistance than open sections, Hollow Sections avert structural failure and potential hazards.
- Reduced Material Wastage: With less surface area than other built-up sections and cut-to-length sizes ranging from 4 to 12 mm, HMT Pillar requires less material and application time. Direct Forming Technology further allows customization with minimal wastage, leading to substantial project cost reductions.
- Accurate Weight: ERW square tubes are available in weights consistent with theoretical calculations. The weight of Hollow Structural Sections (HSS) is notably lower than that of other built-up sections.
- Decreased Steel Consumption: HMT Pillar curtails steel consumption during construction, ultimately reducing the overall weight of the steel structure. In structural buildings, HSS employment leads to a 15-20% reduction in steel consumption.
- Lower Project Costs: Reduced weight, diminished steel usage, and lowered erection and transportation costs mitigate steel wastage, ultimately reflecting in a reduction of the overall project cost.
- Simplified Installation: The installation of these hollow sections within construction structures requires minimal effort and time. The bolting system streamlines the construction process for contractors.
- Facilitated Fabrication: The ease of welding, punching, bending, and drilling renders HMT Pillar a seamless choice.
- Environmentally Friendly: Structural Columns serve as eco-friendly alternatives, replacing conventional construction materials such as wood and tin, contributing to pollution prevention.
- Aesthetically Pleasing: Smooth surfaces enhance the visual appeal of structures, making them suitable for infrastructure, commercial, and residential projects.
- Reduced Project Duration: Integration of Hollow Steel Sections in Pre-Engineered Buildings accelerates project completion timelines, enhancing project management efficiency.
Residential Construction: HMT Pillar’s structural steel tubes emerge as an optimal choice for constructing robust residential structures. The inherent strength of mild steel tubes lends support to these constructions, ensuring durability and resilience even in the face of abrasion and extreme weather conditions. Whether for independent homes or group housing projects, these tubes stand as a cornerstone of strength.
Commercial Edifices: The exceptional strength-to-weight ratio exhibited by these steel tubes renders them ideal for commercial buildings. With a diverse range of shapes and grades available, they become a versatile material for constructing office towers, malls, schools, hospitals, hotels, and more, promising both reliability and architectural adaptability.
Infrastructure Development: The realm of infrastructure benefits significantly from the application of seamless steel tubes, serving as an excellent alternative to pre-engineered structures. Utilizing square tubes, project contractors and consultants can fashion both rural and urban infrastructure, including factories, warehouses, airports, and industrial sheds. The incorporation of Direct Forming Technology (DFT) and Electric Resistance Welding (ERW) further augments their suitability.
Industrial Utilization: Square steel tubing finds extensive utilization across a wide array of industrial applications, ranging from transporting water, gases, and liquid waste to facilitating operations in conveyor belts, hydraulic lifts, mills, and various other industrial machinery. Moreover, these steel tubes contribute to the construction of standard appliances within residential spaces.
