Pre-engineered buildings (PEBs) have become highly popular in modern construction projects for several reasons, including lower costs and reduced project completion times. Off-site fabrication leads to minimal resource wastage, making these construction projects more sustainable and cost-effective. PEBs comprise various components that are fitted together to complete a structure. Here, we share some insights into some of these components.
As the name suggests, this is the main framework of a PEB. High-quality steel is used to create rafters and columns that support the weight of the finished structure. Precise measurements and advanced technology enable the creation of primary framework components in a way that allows easy assembly at the construction site. Once the primary members are in place, the PEB can progress to further stages.
While primary members support the overall load of the building, secondary members are necessary for greater robustness and strength. Purlins, running along the roof of the PEB, act as structural support for the roof, preventing it from collapsing. Girts perform a similar function for the walls of the pre-engineered building. Eave struts are another form of secondary member that provide necessary support between rafters and columns.
Roof and cladding systems in PEBs ensure weatherproofing and proper insulation, while also adding aesthetic appeal to the structure. These components are made using high-grade materials to withstand harsh weather and environmental conditions. Galvanization and similar protective coatings are applied to roofing components to enhance their resistance to corrosion.
PEBs also allow for the incorporation of additional accessories, such as doors, ventilation systems, and windows. These elements are not only functionally necessary but also enhance the building’s aesthetic appeal. It is possible to include custom openings in the design during the fabrication process without compromising structural integrity.
Explore PEB structures by Utkarsh India. We offer a comprehensive range of main and secondary frames, roofing, cladding, and accessory components. The primary members, including advanced crane beams, mezzanine systems, deck panels, trusses, fascias, and canopies, are meticulously designed to support various structural needs. The secondary structural framing includes girts, purlins, base angles, eave struts, and various bracing components such as angle, cable, rod, SAG, and flange bracing. These components are made from high-quality steel, ensuring durability and structural integrity.
We excel with our multilayered hot-dip galvanised roofing structures, standing seam systems, cladding walls, and curved cladding. Also, we offer a range of building accessories, including sliding doors, aluminium windows, insulation panels, fixed louvres, and fasteners, each designed with precision and quality in mind. For ventilation, the ridge ventilators, power ventilators, and turbo vents are engineered for effective performance and durability, catering to diverse infrastructural needs.
