STEEL STANDING

Pre-engineered buildings continue to hold their own at a me when everything else around looks unnerved

The pre-engineered building industry is one of the fastest-growing technologies in the construction sector. It is an advanced, futuristic, eco-friendly, and sustainable construction technology that has grown leaps & bounds over the last two decades, but is yet to achieve its true potential in some industry segments where acceptability is yet to be tapped. Today there is a well-defined awareness in the industrial, warehousing, and office building sectors of the construction and the commercial sector. There is a lot of potential and demand for PEB in the public and the government sector as well.

However, steel is the basic material that is used for a pre-engineered steel building. Infinitely recyclable, steel is the material that reflects the imperatives of sustainable development. Puneet Mathur, business head, building solutions, Tata Bluescope Steel, says, “The first thing that comes to our mind while looking for a steel supplier is a commitment to quality and consistency in material supplied. Regardless of the industry, whether automotive, construction or manufacturing, one should choose a steel processing partner who has a strong experience in manufacturing of steel and allied products with value-added processes.”

Additionally, a supplier must have the flexibility to adapt and agility to deliver volumes, catering to unique customer needs. One should be able to count on steel suppliers for fast turnaround, with on-time delivery that subsequently affects the overall project timelines, especially the ones that supply roofing and structural products. The products should be time-tested considering their performance and longevity, adds Mathur.
