PRE ENGINEERED BUILDINGS AND COLD FORMED
STRUCTURE
[EIRI/EDPR/4743] J.C.: 2963XL
Pre Engineered Buildings (PEB) is the buildings which are engineered at a factory
and assembled at site. Usually PEBs are steel structures. Built-up sections are
fabricated at the factory to exact size, transported to site and assembled at site
with bolted connections. This type of Structural Concept is generally used to build
Industrial Buildings, Metro Stations, and Warehouses etc.
The adoptability of PEB in the place of Conventional Steel Building design concept
resulted in many advantages, including economy & easier fabrication. These type
of building structure can be finished internally to serve any functions that is
actually help in low rise building design. Examples of Pre- Engineered Buildings
are warehouses, Canopies, Factories, Bridges etc.
Pre-Engineered Steel Buildings use a combination of built-up sections, hot rolled
sections and cold formed elements which provide the basic steel frame work with a
choice of single skin sheeting with added insulation or insulated sandwich panels
for roofing and wall cladding. The concept is designed to provide a complete
building envelope system which is air tight, energy efficient, optimum in weight
and cost and, above all, designed to fit user requirement like a well fitted glove.
These Pre-Engineered Steel Buildings can be fitted with different structural
accessories including mezzanine floors, canopies, fascias, interior partitions, crane
systems etc. The building is made water-tight by use of special mastic beads,
filler strips and trims. This is a very versatile building system and can be finished
internally to serve any required function and accessorized externally to achieve
attractive and distinctive architectural styles. It is most suitable for any low-rise
building and offers numerous benefits over conventional buildings.
