INSPECTION

Inspection
Facilities

We exercise stringent inspection and quality controls during the manufacturing of our entire product range. Constant checks are done by our metallurgists and samples are taken during the pouring of ingots for comprehensive chemical analyses directly from the ladle. Our inspection facility houses all the latest tools and equipment for minute inspection to ensure nothing but excellence in our products on all parameters.

  • 01

    Optical Emission Spectrometers

    Sparks a prepared sample and reads its emission spectrum, confirming the full chemistry of a heat against the grade before it is cast.

  • 02

    Mobile Handheld Spectrometers

    Carried to the bay and the stockyard for positive material identification, so a grade is verified on the piece itself without cutting a sample.

  • 03

    Leco Gas Analyzer

    Hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen

    Fuses a sample to measure dissolved gases: the hydrogen that causes flaking, and the oxygen and nitrogen that leave inclusions in the steel.

  • 04

    Carbon apparatus, RadComm detection gate

    Radiation contamination check

    Determines carbon on the melt, while a drive-through RadComm gate screens incoming scrap for radioactive contamination before it can reach the furnace.

  • 05

    Automatic Eddy Current Testing Machine

    Surface and near-surface defects

    Runs the bar through an encircling coil and reads the disturbance in the induced field, so a crack, seam or lap breaking the surface is found over the whole length without touching the bar.

  • 06

    Automatic Ultrasonic Testing Machine

    Internal soundness

    Sends an ultrasonic pulse into the bar and times what comes back, locating the internal voids, inclusions and centre defects that sit too deep for an eddy current to reach.

HEALTH & SAFETY

Safety Is
A Prime Concern

We, at Laxcon Steels, always consider safety a prime concern, be it the safety of employees, equipment, or environment.

The health and safety of employees is of paramount importance as it has a very close relation with both economic and social factors. We believe that a healthy, accident-free, and safe work environment not only contributes to the company’s overall competitiveness but also ensures profit growth. We provide our employees with the safest possible physical working conditions while making everyone aware about the safety protocols.

We have adopted ways to implement safety across our plants through the following:

  • Strict compliance with all applicable Health, Safety, and Environmental Laws and Regulations
  • Regular safety training programs to educate employees on safe work practices and hazard prevention
  • Mandatory use of personal protective equipment (PPE) across all operational areas
  • Periodic safety audits, inspections, and risk assessments to identify and mitigate potential hazards
  • Well-defined standard operating procedures (SOPs) for all critical activities and processes
  • Immediate reporting, investigation, and corrective action for accidents, near misses, and unsafe conditions
  • Installation and maintenance of safety equipment such as fire-fighting systems, alarms, and emergency exits
  • Continuous monitoring and improvement of workplace safety standards
  • Promotion of a strong safety culture through employee participation and accountability
  • Emergency preparedness through regular drills and clear response plans
