Pre Engineered Building
Pre Engineered Building
When PEB’s were started they were mainly considered as module buildings of fixed dimensions only. But due to technical advancements and upgradations tailor made solutions became available in a very short span of time. According to some recent surveys, non-residential low rise buildings are majorly fuelled by Pre Engineered Steel Buildings.
Talking about Indian sub-continent the Pre Engineered Steel Building (PEB) industry per say is still in an very nascent stage. Masses have started recognizing its advantages over the conventional steel structures and Reinforced Cement Concrete (RCC) construction by which Pre Engineered Steel Building (PEB) system has been able to take over the construction industry slowly but steadily.
ADVANTAGE OF PRE-ENGINEERED BUILDING SYSTEMS
Single Source Responsibility
As the building been sourced by single vendor that reduces the complete co-ordination of the customer end with various vendors. And an single vendor is able to provide a single point solution covering all the needs, aspects, deliveries, and quality parameters of the customer. This is the foremost and the basic advantage of Pre Engineered Building System (PEB).
Reduce Construction Time
Typically Pre Engineered Steel Buildings are engineered beforehand and standardized. Due to these standardized components overall engineering, production and erection time is saved considerably. The customized software for designing and detailing increases the overall pace of the projects.
The production of these buildings is done by highly sophisticated machines like multi torches, shear cutting, automatic welding, roll forming etc. that further helps to increase the pace of the work.
Buildings are typically delivered in few weeks after the approval of drawings. Normally buildings delivery is synced with casting and curing of Anchor bolts so that once the anchor bolts are finished the erection can be started after proper curing of Anchor bolts. The Pre Engineered Steel Buildings are transported in complete knock down condition from plant and thus are been assembled at site very fast, as all the building components are delivered finished and ready for site bolting. This nearly doubles the pace of the project.
Early deliveries of the project directly helps in faster occupancy and earlier realisation of revenue.
Lower Cost
Due to the systems approach, there is a significant savings in design, manufacturing and site erection cost. The structural elements are shaped to follow the stress diagram of the member, thus reducing weight, cost and load to foundation. The secondary member and cladding nest together reduces transportation cost.
Flexibility Of Expansion
Building can be easily expanded in length by adding additional bays. Also, expansion in width and height is possible by pre-designing for future expansion.
Large Clear Spans
Building can be supplied to around 100-120 M clear span easily. A combination of built-up section and tubular truss helps in achieving highest economy for large span.
Quality Controls
As the building been sourced by single vendor that reduces the complete co-ordination of the customer end with various vendors. And an single vendor is able to provide a single point solution covering all the needs, aspects, deliveries, and quality parameters of the customer. This is the foremost and the basic advantage of Pre Engineered Building System (PEB).
Low Maintenance
Building are supplied with high quality paint system for cladding and steel to suit ambient condition at site, which results in long durability and low maintenance costs.
Energy Efficient Roof and Wall Systems
Building can be supplied with polyurethane insulated panels or fiberglass blankets insulation to achieve required ‘U’ values.
Architectural Versatility
Buildings can be supplied with various types of fascia, canopies, and curved eaves and designed to receive pre-cast concrete wall panels, curtain walls, block walls and other wall systems.
