The Future is in PEB Hands
Pre Engineered Buildings (PEB) are of recent origin, as against the conventional building systems, that are widely adopted in modern day constructions. The concept of PEB is extremely scientific and yet user friendly
The fabrication is fully performed in a fully automated CNC controlled environment, under precise monitoring, with the state of the art production facility and the subsequent erection is done at the earmarked site.
The Pre-Engineered Buildings constitute the combination of built–up sections, which form the primary structure, fortified with secondary members with the option of single skinned or insulated metal profiled sheeting material for both roofing and cladding applications.
The resultant structure is a complete modular building system which envelops an air tight, energy proficient, perfectly designed, cost efficient building, tailor made to client’s requirements.
The host of subsystem options that could be juxtaposed with the main structure is a great boon, in pre-engineered Building systems. Structural options additions such as mezzanine floors, canopies, fascias, crane provisions can be effectively used to enhance the utilities and aesthetics of the building.
Pre-Engineered Building concept has spread in Asia and Africa in the last two decades and widely accepted and growing at an accelerated speed. In the booming economic scenario in our country, PEB is gaining fast acceptance as the best form of building method and the business and industrial fraternity views the advantages of PEB for the following rationale:
- Flexibility to fulfil an unlimited range of building configurations, customer design requirements and applications.
- Significant Cost savings
- Low initial cost
- Advantages of Large and Clear Spans
- Buildings are easily expandable on all sides and allows future expansion
- Recyclable – 100 %
- Seismic resistance
The common applications
Industrial
Engineering, Automotive, Chemical, Textile, Pharmaceutical
Commercial
Warehouses, Supermalls and Commerical complexes, huge Convention Halls
Special Applications
Aviation hangers, Cold Storage Plants, Railway Stations, Indoor and Outdoor Stadium, Bus Terminus, Educational Institutions such as Schools
And other host of innovative applications
The Indian Economy foresees the multifold overall growth in general and phenomenal growth in the industrial sectors in particular, which has a direct bearing on the demand quotient for Pre-engineered Building requirements.
It is thus imperative for the metal roofing and PEB industries to cope up with the potential demand and bring out the superlative steel structures which are technically excellent and economically viable to suit the conditions and parameters that are suited for the modern India.
