Pre Engineered
Building Systems:-
Pre Engineered Buildings (PEBs)
are medium to large size steel buildings consisting of primary and secondary
steel structural frames resting on civil foundations and suitable roofing, side
cladding and water downtake arrangements. Each PEB is separately and
individually designed to suit the specific application (end use), size and
geographical location.
All the primary structural
members are shop fabricated as per the specific design, thus ensuring optimum
use of steel and thereby reducing the overall cost of the structure
considerably. Secondary structural members (purlins, girts, etc) are usually
cold rolled steel sections and the roofing and sides cladding can be done using
bare/ colour coated galvalume/ G.I. steel sheets.
Further depending on requirement
additional features like insulation, roof ventilators, day light sheets,
canopies, doors, windows, ventilators etc can also be provided in these PEBs.
Advantages
of Pre – Engineered Buildings: -
- FASTER OCCUPANCY
- MORE ECONOMIC THAN CONVENTIONAL STRUCTURES
- SINGLE SOURCE RESPONSIBILITY
- LOWER COST
- FLEXIBILITY IN EXPANSION
- LARGE CLEAR SPANS
- QUALITY CONTROL
- LOW MAINTENANCE
- ENERGY EFFICIENT ROOF AND WALL SYSTEMS
- ARCHITECTURAL VERSATALITY
Applications of Pre Engineered
Building Systems:-
In view of the many advantages of PEBs over other types
of buildings & structures, they are ideally suited for almost all types of
medium to large size steel buildings. Whenever and wherever one or more factors
like faster occupancy, large clear spans, excellent aesthetics, corrosion
resistance, better load bearing capacity against high wind/ seismic loads, etc
are important, then PEBs are the most obvious and preferred choice world over. Here are some of the popular applications of
PEBs.
- WARE HOUSES
- LARGE FACTORIES/ MANUFACTURING PLANTS
- ENGINEERING WORKSHOPS
- SMALL INDUSTRIAL SHEDS
- OFFICES
- GAS STATIONS
- VEHICLE PARKING SHEDS
- SHOW ROOMS
- SUPERMARKETS
- AIRCRAFT HANGERS
- SCHOOLS & COLLEGES
- SPORTS AND RECREATIONAL FACILITIES
- HOSPITALS
- LABOUR CAMPS
- LOW COST HOUSING
ETC.
