Application of Pre-Engineered Buildings (PEBs)

A Pre-engineered buildings is a form of building, designed by a PEB supplier or PEB manufacturer that involves pre-designed and prefabricated steel structures which can be customized according to the specifications and assembled at site. PEB buildings are one of the most sought after methods of construction all over the world due to their flexibility and ease of construction. 

Pre-engineered buildings or PEB buildings are built using prefabricated I-shaped members, also known as I-beams. These I-beams can be shaped according to the requirements and available space and can be assembled at the site which reduces the time spent in construction significantly. Due to such pre-engineering, there is less amount of engineering required during the actual construction of the building at the site. If designed efficiently, it is possible to make a pre-engineered building 30% lighter than any conventional steel building.

PEB (Pre-engineered buildings) comprises of:

Primary Members:

Columns, Rafters, Crane Beams etc.

Secondary Members:

Bracings, Tie rods, Angle bracings, High Tensile Bolts and washers etc.

Roofing, Cladding & Accessories:

Top Roof Sheets/Panels, Side Cladding (Vertical) Sheets/Panels, Skylights Sheets, Ventilators, Louvers, Downspouts, etc.

PEBs are extremely useful in industrial applications. The flexibility that PEBs can provide makes the process of setting up a factory much easier. Because the PEB can be designed according to the conditions at the site where the factory is planned to be set up, it becomes the ideal choice for hugely reducing the construction time. Heavy industries like ceramic factories, cement plants, iron and steel plants often use Pre-Engineered Buildings as their choice of construction.

Another advantage of PEBs is that they can be easily transported to the site and erected within a short period. This helps with the construction of malls, offices, showrooms, distribution centres as well as supermarkets. The construction of these structures should require as little time as possible because of the commercial implications that can be caused by a delay in the completion of the project. In such cases, PEBs due to their short construction time, easy transportation of pre-fabricated components and comfortable assembly process reduce the time spent during the actual construction at the site.

The numerous advantages of Pre-Engineered Buildings have extended their reach beyond industrial and commercial applications. PEBs can also be used in the construction of schools, auditoriums, theatres, and exhibition centres. These days PEBs are being used in the construction of hospitals as well. PEBs can also be used to provide the structures for dairy farms, animal shelters, poultry farms, greenhouses and grain-storage centres.

Apart from all that PEBs have also made their way to structures meant for recreational activities and sports. Several famous stadiums in the world have been entirely made through PEBs. Additionally, PEBs can also be used in making indoor stadiums, tennis courts, gymnasiums and closed structures of swimming pools as well.

The durability and ease of construction of Pre-Engineered Buildings have enabled them to become the ideal choice for the construction of most industrial structures over the years. But PEBs are also gradually making their way into commercial and agricultural constructions and many other sectors where robust structures are required which can be erected in a short period with minimum labour. PEBs are durable, strong and easy to construct.

Bansal Roofing is equipped to handle complete requirements for Pre-engineering buildings which includes Factory sheds, Show rooms, Warehouses, Cold Storage, Community centers and many more . We design entire columns, rafters and all other accessories in-house based on international structural standards, with all the fabrication done at our factory using high tensile steel material. All the design and manufacturing is done after doing a detailed analysis of the site and collecting all the dimensional data.
