WHAT IS PEB?
Pre-Engineered Building (PEB) is the state of art steel solution for developing an efficient and cost-effective infrastructure. They are designed, pre-manufactured at the factory, and supplied as a fully finished product along with steel structure, roofing, cladding & Building accessories.
This concept gives a very fast construction and an excellent accuracy in design and manufacturing and world-class building product with virtually zero wastage. We can use technique for any type of application for building construction what we can imagine in concrete construction with more flexibility compared to concrete. PEB has a very wide scope in terms of flexibility to use & provision to offer any type of shape and capacity.
PEB Applications
- 1. Factories
- 2. Warehouses
- 3. Workshops
- 4. Gas stations
- 5. Showrooms
- 6. Aircraft hangers
- 7. Metro stations
- 8. Vehicle parking sheds
- 8. Schools, Indoor stadium roofs
- 9. Bridges, Railway platform shelters
- 10. Outdoor stadium canopies
Design Parameters
Building Width is the distance from the outside of eave strut of one sidewall to the outside of eave strut of the facing sidewall.
Building Length is the distance between the outside flanges of end wall columns in facing end wall. The end Bay Length forms the distance from the outside of the outer flange of end wall columns to the center line of the first interior frame columns.
The Interior Bay Length is measured as the distance between the center lines of two adjacent interior main frame columns which usually range from 6m, 7.5m and 9m to 15m.
The Building height forms the eave height, which is the length from the foot of the main frame column base plate to the top outer point of the eave strut and can measure up to a height of 30m. In the case of columns that are recessed o elevated from finished floor, the eave height is the distance from finished floor to top of the eave strut.
The roof slopes, of thick any practical ones can be constructed by our architects, is the angle which the roof forms with respect to horizontal and are commonly 1/10.
Types of Pre-Engineered Buildings
CLEAR SPAN
This type of frame is the most preferred and widely used worldwide. It offer clear access to loading and stacking function within the shed. As the pillars or columns are coming at both ends, it gives a very spacious and airy look to the entire shed. We can design these sheds for a width of up to 90 meters. However the water discharge from these types of frames is on both sides of the shed as this is a two slope frame.
MULTI SPAN
This type of frame is most suitable for clients who want a wide shed but do not necessarily want it to be clear span because it gives us the economy of Two Sloped Structure and the columns in between distributes the load and thus reduces the weight of the structure. It is the most economical form of frame for large span buildings.
SINGLE SLOPE
This type of frames are the preferred choice when clients wants or has restriction to drain water of both sides of the shed. It is also chosen by clients in case their existing sheds require an expansion in width but is not designed to support the load of a lean to shed. In case these sheds are very wide then is becomes economical to make the same in Multi span.
MULTI GABLE
This type of frame is the used in case of wide shed but are a but more economical than the Multi Span frame type. It is lighter because the trusses are smaller hence economical but it comes with a rider than it may has a water discharge in the center of the shed which would require an internal drainage line, which is not preferred in most of the industries where water ingress during unplanned excess rains lead to losses.
LEAN TO
This type of frame is the most preferred type, for sheds requiring an expansion along the width. It requires the original shed to be designed such that it is able to take the load of the expanded shed along with the new shed. Lean to sheds are designed to match the roof slope of the existing shed such that the water is discharged out of the shed.
PEB Benefits
Reduce construction time
Steel Buildings are typically delivered in just a few weeks. Foundation and anchor bolts are cast parallel with finished, ready for the site bolting. In India the use of pre engineered buildings will reduce total construction time of the project by at least 40%.
Lower cost
Due to the systems approach, there is a significant saving in design, manufacturing and site erection cost, the structural elements are shaped to follow the stress diagram of the member, thus reducing weight, cost and load to foundations, the secondary members and cladding nest together reducing transportation cost, the overall.
Low Maintenance
Buildings are supplied with high quality paint systems for cladding and steel to suit ambient conditions at the site, which results in long durability and low maintenance costs.
Flexible of expansion
Buildings can be easily expanded in length by adding more bays, also, expansion in width and height is possible by Pre-designing for future expansion.
Energy Efficient
PEBs can be supplied with polyurethane insulated panels or fiberglass blankets insulation to achieve required 'U' values.
Large clear spans
In PEB the buildings can be given up to 90m clear spans which are the important advantage of PEB with column free space.
Single Source Availability
As the complete building package is supplied by a single vendor, compatibility of all the building components and accessories is assured. This is one of the major benefits of the Pre-engineered building systems.
