Steel has always been a popular construction material owing to its many merits, but is now gaining further recognition as developers turn to steel buildings for construction.
Steel is the ideal construction medium for ware-houses and other industrial buildings for a variety of reasons. In addition to being economical and durable, steel also provides the simplest solution for building designs requiring large expanses of open space as well as significant design flexibility. Under the Government’s Housing for All by 2022 scheme, an estimated 20 million houses need to be constructed, which is definitely going to take much longer to do by conventional processes. Hence, it is imperative that innovative methods are adopted to accelerate the construction process, and PEB may be the need of the hour.
NEW VISTAS
Naturally, there are several advantages of steel buildings over conventional construction processes. Firstly, of course, these are materials that can be made off-site. This can help speed up construction time up to 50%, as compared to traditional methods. PK Nagarajan, CEO, Tiger Steel Engineering (India), says, “PEB integrates all activities from design, fabrication, logistics and installation under one agency, and PEB structures are 25-30% lighter in weight due to use of tapered sections as well as high-strength steel, ensuring optimisation of steel usage compared to conventional buildings. PEB components are manufactured in factory-controlled conditions, and are of superior quality and accurate, making the erection of buildings simpler. PEB can be expanded both width-wise and length-wise to meet clients’ future expansion needs.”
