RYYM Engineers, headquartered in Chennai, India, is a prominent player in the global structural steel market. With a focus on structural steel detailing, particularly for towers, the company utilizes advanced SCHULLER & CO - BOCAD-3D software to deliver precise presentations and efficient detailing for both domestic and international clients.

Reflecting on the company's journey, K. Ravi acknowledges the challenges faced in the early years, marked by a limited market and modest marketing efforts. Despite this, the company has experienced substantial growth, handling numerous projects across India and abroad. However, selective project acceptance remains a priority to ensure effective management and uphold high standards.
Navigating Innovation
Senior personnel in Indian companies often resist new technology, a notable challenge for RYYM engineers due to their familiarity with manual drafting methods. This resistance usually results in fabrication errors, emphasizing the importance of embracing modern CAD and CAM software to enhance precision and efficiency. Overcoming this resistance requires highlighting the benefits of advanced solutions, such as minimizing errors and improving project efficiency.
Further, the company specializes in tower detailing and caters to various industries, including transmission, microwave towers, and more. While the market presents abundant opportunities, the company prioritizes projects based on team capacity to ensure timely delivery and quality outcomes. The evolution of the steel detailing industry, from manual drafting to advanced software, underscores the importance of adapting to technological advancements while maintaining high standards.
"We are a tight-knit team of six or seven members, each with over ten years of experience. The team includes B.E, diploma holders, and ITI certificate holders. The company emphasizes long-term commitment and a family-like work environment. All members undergo extensive in-house training, even experienced hires, to learn the company's unique methods and customized AutoCAD macros, ensuring consistency and efficiency", shares K. Ravi.
Moreover, when a client presents a project to RYYM Engineers, the process begins with a review of the provided diagrams and details. A detailed quotation, including time estimates and software maintenance costs, is provided. Upon client acceptance, a project schedule is established. Work commences with ,3D modeling, followed by client review and adjustments. Detailed drawings are prepared, and finalized with shop sketches and CNC files. The company relies on updated German software for precision and efficiency throughout the process.

Overseas clients, especially from Europe, appreciate the company's adherence to sustainability norms, like minimizing paper usage through digital checks. This commitment to sustainability and quality assurance sets them apart and builds trust with global clients.
Looking ahead, RYYM Engineers adopts a pragmatic approach to future planning, prioritizing dedication to each project over predetermined expansion goals. With a steadfast focus on delivering the company focuses on dedicating maximum effort to each project, ensuring perfection in execution. With a rich history of successful projects spanning over two decades, the company finds excitement in each new opportunity.
