However, Trinrico has resolved to raise the standard of compliance in terms of yield and tensile strength and coating protection to one that better serves the construction needs throughout the region. The highest reinforcement properties with the maximum anti corrosion coating and therefore most resilient against the typical cause of failures. • Execute Phase Two: expand cut-and-bend rebar to a new layout and throughput that can serve Trinidad’s rebound and CARICOM’s pace simultaneously. “We’ve grown in CARICOM while Trinidad was down,” Ramoutarsingh says.“We’re getting ready for Trinidad’s return.” SIDEBAR: TRINRICO’S QUALITYAVAILABILITY FLYWHEEL • One standard, everywhere: Manufacture to the highest spec and make it buyable at any hardware—so every contractor can meet government-class requirements. • Aligned upstream: Wire-rod supply timed to mesh commissioning for chemistry consistency and volume certainty. • Self-offloading fleet: Trucks with cranes reduce site congestion, port dwell, and schedule loss. 22 BUSINESS VIEW CARIBBEAN VOLUME 12, ISSUE 10
