Pre-Engineered Buildings – Components and Advantages

PEB Components and Advantages

Pre-Engineered Buildings also known as PEB have taken over the construction market by their multiple advantages and virtues. A PEB manufacturer designs a PEB and has a single design fabricated using various materials as well as methods that can satisfy different kinds of aesthetic and structural requirements of clients.  Hence, one could say that a pre-engineered building is made of components that are manufactured at a factory and assembled at a particular site. PEBs are structures of steel and have been booming in the construction market as alternatives to conventional steel buildings. The components of every PEB are fabricated at the manufacturing factory to an exact size and are transported to the main site for assembling the same. The main components building up the PEBs are: The structural steel framing system Metal roofing system And Wall panels of various materials In order to design a pre-engineered building with precision, a clear span between bearing points, roof slope, live loads, dead loads and much more needs to be determined. These buildings can be adapted to suit a wide range of structural applications, which leads to potential savings in the area of a structural framework as well. Let’s take a look at the components of a Pre-Engineered Building: #1 – Main Frame or Vertical Columns: The mainframes consist of rigid steel frames of the building. These steel frames are made of tapered columns and tapered rafters. They are fabricated using state of the art technology at BRPL, while the flanges of the same are welded.

The beam end wall system of framing consists of columns with pinned ends and these supporting the horizontal rafters are known as end wall rafters. #3 – Purlins, Girts and Eave Struts: These are secondary components of a PEB. In this preparation, there is no need for welding. They are prepared by wielding the steel coil in order to give the same desired shape. The Z shape is for purlins and girts and the C-shape is for eave struts. #4 – Crane System: The crane system is utilized to improve material handling productivity hence allowing more utilization of space by reducing traffic due to forklifts. The runaway beams of the crane are supported via built-up sections with the cap channels.

These sheets are coated with special paints to enhance their anti-corrosion properties. They are insulated through insulation slabs and the steel sheets are fixed on top of the same as roofing steel sheets. #6 – Mezzanine System: The mezzanine system is a framing system that consists of a black deck supported by joists framed into the main mezzanine beams. #7 – Paints and Touches: Pre-painted steel is produced on a high-speed coil, painting lines where the surface preparation prior to painting and paint curing is done on a highly automated line under optimum conditions.  Let’s look at the advantages of PEB: Pre-Engineered buildings have a number of advantages the very foremost one being they reduce construction time. Here are the major advantages of PEBs: PEBs have satisfied a large range of structural and aesthetic requirements. The components used in the making of PEBs are engineered beforehand and standardized as well. The use of customized software for design and drafting reduces the speed of the project.  The design time of the PEBs is comparatively lower than that of standard buildings. Moreover, the frames of PEB’ offer higher resistance to seismic forces.  Owing to the arrival of the systems approach, there is a saving in design manufacturing as well as site erecting costs. The diagrams of PEBs are shaped in a manner that reduces the cost, weight and load to foundations.  Pre-Engineered Buildings are 30-35% lighter than conventional steel structures as they are made up of simple designs and are easier to construct.  Bansal Roofing provides the complete PEB package, hence availing PEB services from a single vendor assures compatibility and quality of components.  PEB has the capacity to endure weather conditions and has one of the highest durability.

How To Maintain PEBs;
A Simplified Explanation

How to maintain PEBs

Pre-Engineered Buildings are buildings with a metal enclosure that includes a structural frame and standard roof along with wall support which is factory-made and is assembled at the site. Pre Engineered Buildings are the new manufacturing concept replacing traditional manufacturing and are seen as a breakthrough in the construction industry, resulting in more efficiency of construction with lesser time, cost-effectiveness, low maintenance and high quality. Pre-Engineered buildings meet the wide column-free area requirement of the construction industry. According to Bansal Roofing, pre-engineered buildings are a revolutionary approach to pace the process of construction and these buildings are made according to the precise size of a building which gives them enough time for construction as well. Pre-Engineered Buildings are known to be strong and versatile while also being in high demand owing to their quality of being mobile. While these durable buildings sustain harsh weather, they require timely maintenance to stay long-lasting and strong. Here are a few tips on how to maintain PEBs for longer sustainability: Effective Tips To Maintain PEBs: #1 – Regular Cleaning: Debris and other undesired dust particles that accumulate in the building area can cause damage to the PEB structure. Moreover, the accumulation of dirt in tight spaces can cause moulds and trap moisture as well causing the material to undergo corrosion at a premature stage. And for these reasons, roof sheets to gutters must be subject to regular cleaning which can be done with a low-pressure water hose and a good cleaning solution. Apart from preventing damage, cleaning the building also helps in sustaining its visual appeal for a longer amount of time. Also Read: Pre-Engineered Construction vs Conventional Construction #2 – Maintenance of Fasteners: Fasteners are known to hold the elements of the building together and can also become the reason for a fast decline of the building! If these fasteners are left loose and not tightened properly, it will leave space for water to seep into the frame of the building causing the structure to corrode and rust even more quickly. Fasteners that have been subject to damage in any manner must be repaired or rather changed right away to avoid jeopardizing the structural strength of the building. Moreover, this can also have an effect on the load distribution which could result in an unanticipated PEB structure damage. #3 – Regular Paint Jobs: The exterior of Pre-Engineered Buildings is extremely resistant to harsh weather, UV radiation as well corrosion. However, if the building isn’t cleaned properly or is located close to a water body, there are increased chances of corrosion. Small patches can become the starting point of corrosion which can subsequently spread throughout the building. Hence to prevent this from happening it is important to protect the structure by regularly painting these patch areas.

The frequent impact of the doors on the walls can lead to structural deterioration. In order to prevent this, one must lubricate the hinges of doors and locks on a regular basis as well as to ensure they don’t swing all the way back to the door. Similarly, if there are sliding doors in that case the guiding channels must be cleaned on a regular basis to ensure they run smoothly. Moreover, regularly lubricating the moving shutters and applying grease to the vertical guides can lead to increasing the soundness of the structure. The excellence of durability is one of the prime reasons for the popularity of PEBs. This durability can be enhanced further by taking excellent care of the building as well as proper maintenance. When maintain PEBs efficiently and regularly, they can ensure saving money on repairs as well as enjoy the long durability of their structure.

Tips for Maintenance of Pre-Engineered Buildings (PEBs)

Tips for Maintenance of Pre-Engineered Buildings (PEBs)

Pre-Engineered Buildings or PEBs are known for their versatility and their ease of construction while providing many benefits at the same time. They are strong, durable and can be designed according to the site conditions which make them an ideal choice for construction. But after a pre-engineered building or PEB manufacturer has completed their work and commissioned the building there are some extra measures you can take to extend the life of the building which we are going to talk about further. Like any other construction structure, pre-engineered buildings also need their regular maintenance to be able to keep performing satisfactorily under various climate conditions. It is always better to conduct preventive maintenance than investing in repairs later due to any unforeseen damage.  The Maintenance Period of PEBs: PEBs are designed for extreme climatic conditions and can withstand harsh weathers, but even PEBs can be vulnerable to damage if not maintained regularly. The frequency of maintenance of PEBs depends on the kind of locality it has been installed in. PEBs installed in areas with humid climate conditions and highly polluted areas require more frequent maintenance than areas with mild climates and dry regions. [wpdatatable id=2 table_view=regular] Also Read: Application of Pre-Engineered Buildings (PEBs)Regular inspections of the building structure should be scheduled to identify any potential problems which may lead to significant damage in the future. It is a good idea to fix the problems while they are minor so that they can be eliminated with minimum costs. You may also get in touch with your PEB supplier to notify them of any defects that you may find during the inspection. Cleaning Regularly: Building areas like gutters, downspouts and roof sheets should be cleaned regularly to prevent debris and unwanted materials from collecting on them which can cause damage to the building. Cleaning the building also helps it retain its aesthetic appeal for a longer period. Accumulation of dirt in narrow areas and the formation of mould can trap moisture and start to corrode the material prematurely. So keeping all parts of the building clean is a good measure to prevent damage to the building. It can be easily done with a low-pressure water hose and a suitable cleaning solution. Taking Care of Fasteners: Believe it or not, the very fasteners that secure all the parts of the building together can become the reason for its destruction. Fasteners, if left loose, may allow for seeping of water into the frame of the building which may begin to corrode the building faster. Fasteners which have been damaged in any way should be immediately replaced because it may compromise the strength of the structure in that area and can also affect the load distribution of the entire structure. This may lead to unexpected structural damage. A Fresh Coat of Paint: The exterior of a Pre-Engineered Building is highly resistant to harsh weather, UV rays and corrosion. But sometimes they may receive a dent or a scratch from heavy vehicles, cranes during handling of equipment or forklifts which can cause dents on the building material. These areas can become the starting point for corrosion which can then spread further. So it is a good idea to cover these areas with paint that will prevent their exposure to the atmosphere and keep them protected. Maintenance of Accessories: Along with regular maintenance of the PEB, it is equally important to pay attention to all the accessories fitted with the building like doors, rolling shutters and vents. Occasionally lubricate the hinges and locks of the doors and make sure they are not allowed to swing back fully against the wall. The repeated impact caused by the doors on the walls can damage the structure. Regularly clean the guide channels of sliding doors so they can run smoothly on the guide. Keep the rolling shutters regularly lubricated and apply grease to the vertical guides. Keeping all the accessories of a PEB in a healthy condition can save repair costs and keep the building strong for a longer time. Pre-Engineered Buildings or PEBs have excellent durability which can be further enhanced by taking proper care of the building and running periodic maintenance on the building. But when working on the building extra safety precautions must be taken like using correct ladders, turning off electrical circuits, using cranes wherever required.  By following the above points, you can greatly increase the life of PEBs and keep them performing at optimal levels.

Application of Pre-Engineered Buildings (PEBs)

Pre Engineered Buildings (PEBs) Supplier & Manufacturer

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. Also Read: The Difference Between Prefabricated and Pre-Engineered Steel 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.
