PRE ENGINEERED BUILDING
Engineered for Strength, Built for Excellence
Pre-Engineered Buildings (PEBs) are innovative construction solutions designed to be highly efficient, cost-effective, and customizable. These structures are made from a pre-designed set of materials that include primary members (such as columns and rafters), secondary members (like purlins and girts), and roofing or cladding systems. PEBs differ from traditional construction methods by offering faster project completion, improved durability, and flexibility in design. The entire structure is fabricated in a factory setting under stringent quality control measures and then transported to the construction site, where it is assembled as per detailed erection drawings. This process ensures precision, uniformity, and reduced material wastage, making PEBs a preferred choice for various industrial, commercial, and residential applications.
One of the key advantages of PEBs is their adaptability to different functional requirements. Whether you need a structure for warehousing, manufacturing, office spaces, or even multi-level buildings, PEBs can be designed to accommodate unique architectural and operational needs. They also support integration with crane systems, mezzanines, and advanced ventilation solutions like turbo ventilators and ridge vents. Additionally, PEBs are sustainable options that minimize environmental impact through energy-efficient designs and recyclable materials. Parshwa Steel, a leading provider of PEB solutions, specializes in delivering high-quality steel buildings tailored to meet the specific needs of clients in Gujarat, Maharashtra, and beyond.
Components of Pre-Engineered Buildings (PEBs)
Pre-Engineered Buildings (PEBs) are made up of several critical components that work together to create durable and efficient structures. These include:
- Primary Members: The main load-bearing elements, such as columns and rafters, that form the framework of the building.
- Secondary Members: Components like purlins, girts, and eave struts that provide additional support to the primary structure, reinforcing the roof and wall panels.
- Roofing & Cladding Systems: The external layer of the building, usually composed of metal roofing sheets and wall panels, that offers protection from the elements and ensures the building’s longevity.
- Connection Fasteners: High-strength bolts, welds, and other fasteners used to join various components of the structure securely.
Standard Frame Types
Pre-Engineered Buildings offer various frame types to suit different structural needs. Each frame type serves a specific purpose and is designed to meet diverse project requirements:
- Tapered Column Clear Span (TCCS): Ideal for large open spaces with no internal supports.
- Multi Gable: Best for wider buildings that need multiple roof slopes.
- Clear Span with Crane: Designed to accommodate heavy-duty crane systems within the building.
- Mono Slope: Used in structures that require a single-sloped roof.
- Lean-To: An additional structure attached to the main building for extended space.
- Multi Span with Crane & Mezzanine: Suitable for complex structures with both crane systems and intermediate floors.
Crane Systems in PEB
PEB structures are compatible with a wide range of crane systems, making them ideal for industrial applications where heavy lifting is required. Crane systems commonly integrated into PEBs include:
- EOT (Electric Overhead Travel) Crane: Suitable for heavy-duty industrial applications.
- Underhung Crane: Runs on a track below the primary roof structure for efficient material handling.
- Jib Crane: Used for localized lifting tasks within the building.
- Monorail Crane: Ideal for linear material handling over long distances.
Each system is supported by dedicated components like crane columns, brackets, and crane runway beams, ensuring safe and efficient operations within the PEB.
Staircases and Mezzanine Systems
Staircases and mezzanines are integral components of PEBs, especially in multi-level and industrial buildings.
- Double Flight Staircase: This design features two sets of stairs with a mid-landing, allowing for easier access between floors.
- Mezzanine Systems: Consist of steel decking supported by joists and beams. These systems are often used in warehouses and industrial buildings to create additional floor space for storage or offices. The mezzanine’s reinforced structure provides both functionality and durability, while the steel deck serves as a permanent formwork for concrete floors.
Accessories for PEB
Pre-Engineered Buildings can be equipped with various accessories that enhance the functionality and comfort of the structure. These include:
- Ridgevent System: Improves air circulation by allowing hot air to escape from the roof ridge.
- S-Type Louver: Ventilation louvers installed on wall panels for better airflow.
- Roof Monitor: Provides natural light and ventilation through elevated roof sections.
- Turbovent Fixing: A system for installing natural ventilation turbines on the roof.
- Gutter/Downspout Fixing: Ensures effective rainwater management by attaching gutters and downspouts to the wall panels.
- Skylights and Wall Lights: Allows natural light to enter the building, reducing energy costs and improving indoor visibility.
Standard Trims & Flashings
Trims and flashings are essential components in Pre-Engineered Buildings, providing both functional and aesthetic value. Trims help cover gaps between different building elements, while flashings prevent water from entering joints. Common trims and flashings include:
- Gable Trim: Covers the end of the roof at the gable.
- Eave Trim: Installed along the eaves to protect from water penetration.
- Ridge Cap: Installed at the peak of the roof to prevent water infiltration.
- Drip Trim: Directs water away from the building’s edges.
- Jamb Trim: Used around door and window openings to seal gaps.
Applications of PEB
Pre-Engineered Buildings serve a wide range of industries and applications, including:
Industrial Factory Buildings
Custom, durable structures supporting large manufacturing spaces and heavy equipment.
Warehouses
Efficient, high-capacity storage with clear-span designs and rapid construction
Malls & Multiplexes
Multi-level homes, apartment complexes, and buildings with customizable layouts.
Process Plants
Strong frames and corrosion-resistant materials for specialized industrial processes.
Multi-Storey Buildings
Cost-effective, multi-level structures for both residential and commercial use.
