Steel industry is growing rapidly in almost all the parts of the world .The use of steel structures is not only cost-effective also eco-friendly at the time when there is a threat of global warming .Time being is the vital feature ,steel structures (Pre fabricated) is built in very short period and one such example is Pre engineered buildings.

PEBs are nothing but steel buildings in which excess steel is avoided by narrowing the section as per the bending moment’s requirement.If we go for regular steel structures time frame will be more and also cost will be more.

Long span and column free structures are the most important in any type of industrial structures and PEB fulfill this requirement along with reduced time and cost as compared to conventional structure. The structural performance of these buildings is well understood. Steel structures also have much better strength-to-weight. Pre engineered building have bolted connections and hence can also be reused.

With advance modern technology, computer and software have contributed enormously to the improvement of quality of life through new researches. ...
... Pre engineered building is one such revolution. Pre engineered building are fully fabricated in the factory after designing, and then transported to the site in completely knocked down condition and all components are assembled and erected with nut-bolts there by reducing the time of completion.

Following are some of the advantages of PEB

Construction time: Buildings are generally constructed in 6 to 8 weeks after approval of drawings. PEB thus will reduce total construction time of the project by at least 40%.

Lower cost: Because of system approach considerable saving is achieved in design, manufacturing and erection cost.

Flexibility of expansion: As discussed earlier, these can be easily expanded in length by adding additional bays. Also expansion in width and height is possible by pre designing of future expansion. Large clear span Building can be supplied to around 90m clear spans .This is one if the most important advantages of PEB giving column free spaces.

Quality control: Buildings are manufactured completely in the factory controlled condition and hence the quality can be assured.

Low maintenance: PEB buildings have high quality paint systems for cladding and steel to suit ambient conditions at the site which in turns gives long durability and low maintenance cost.

Energy Efficient Roofing: Buildings are supplied with polyurethane insulated panels of fiberglass blanket insulation to achieve required "U" values (over all heat transfer co-efficient)

Erection: steel members are brought to site in CKD conditions there by avoiding cutting and wielding at site. As PEB sections are lighter in mass, the small parts can be very easily assembled, bolted and raised with the help of cranes. This allows very quick construction and reduces wastage and labor requirement.

PEB manufactures can be relied upon to service their buildings long after they are supplied to protect their reputation. All components have been specified and designed specifically to act together as a system for maximum efficiency .Designed to fit the system with standardized and interchangeable parts including pre-designed flashing and trims.
