OREANDA-NEWS. January 11, 2013. TITAN-labelled couplings are the only threaded couplings for reinforced bars , used for construction of nuclear power plants in Russia.

The supply of TITAN threaded couplings for reinforced bars for Leningrad NPP-2 have begun in October 2012. For the recent months, about five thousand threaded couplings have been delivered to the construction site which are used in the course of erection of the first and second power units – the reactor building, the turbine one, and auxiliary ones.

The use of threaded couplings for reinforced bars significantly reduces the builders' time and effort during reinforcement which allows them to refuse from labour-intensive welding work.

Earlier the enterprises used to buy the couplings for mechanical reinforced bars abroad, but their production at the holding's own facilities is capable to cover all the needs of construction sites at Leningrad NPP-2 and Baltic NPP in this product. The high quality of items is confirmed by the GOST Russia Certificate of Conformity No. РОСС RU.CЛ86.H00040.
