Pre-Engineered Steel Structure

Pre-Engineered Steel Structure

Pre-engineered steel buildings/structure refer to structures that are designed, fabricated, and assembled using standardized components and methods before being transported to the construction site. These buildings are engineered to meet specific requirements and are manufactured off-site, allowing for faster and more efficient construction processes. Pre-engineered steel construction has become a popular choice in the modern construction industry due to its numerous advantages. TecRadon supplies pre-engineered steel buildings for all industrial and commercial needs.

There are several different models or types of pre-engineered steel buildings available in the construction industry. These models vary in design, size, functionality, and intended use. Here are some common models of pre-engineered steel buildings:

  • 1. Clear-span pre-engineered steel buildings
  • 2. Multi-span pre-engineered steel buildings
  • 3. Lean-to pre-engineered steel buildings
  • 4. Multi-gable pre-engineered steel buildings
  • 5. Curved rafter pre-engineered steel buildings
  • 6. Pre-engineered steel buildings with mezzanine
  • 7. Buildings with pre-engineered steel roof
  • 8. Specialized pre-engineered steel buildings

The components of pre-engineered steel buildings, such as columns, beams, and panels, are fabricated in a factory and then assembled on-site. This construction method provides numerous advantages, including cost-effectiveness, customization options, durability, and compliance with building codes and regulations. Pre-engineered steel buildings have gained popularity in various industries to meet the unique needs of different applications.

There are numerous factors contributing to the total costs of pre-engineered steel building construction. Here are some main costs of construction of pre-engineered steel buildings:

Design and engineering
The initial cost of pre-engineered steel construction involves design and engineering services. This includes architectural design, structural engineering, and the preparation of construction drawings. The complexity and size of the project, along with the level of customization required, can influence these costs.
Material costs
Steel is a fundamental component of pre-engineered construction, and its cost plays a significant role in overall project expenses. Steel prices can vary depending on market conditions, global supply and demand, and fluctuations in raw material costs. It is crucial to consider the quantity and quality of steel required for the project to accurately estimate material costs.
Fabrication and manufacturing
Once the design is finalized and materials are procured, the steel components are fabricated and manufactured off-site. This process includes cutting, welding, drilling, painting, and so on. The complexity of the project, size, and required finishes can impact fabrication costs. Efficient coordination between the design team and fabricators is crucial to ensure cost-effective manufacturing.
Transportation and logistics
Transporting the fabricated steel components to the construction site is another cost consideration. The distance between the manufacturing facility and the site, as well as the size and weight of the components, will affect transportation costs. Efficient logistics planning and coordination can help minimize these expenses.
Site preparation and foundation
Before the steel construction can begin, the site needs to be prepared, including clearing, excavation, and leveling. The type of foundation required for the project will also contribute to the overall costs. Site-specific factors like soil conditions can impact these expenses.
Assembly and construction
The actual assembly and construction of the pre-engineered steel building involve labor costs, equipment rentals, and project management. Skilled labor and experienced construction teams are essential for ensuring efficient and timely construction. Proper project management and coordination play a crucial role in controlling costs during the construction phase.

Advantages of Pre-Engineered Steel Structures

  • 1. Reduction in Construction Time
    Buildings are typically delivered in just a few weeks after approval of drawings. Foundation and anchor bolts are cast parallel with finished, ready for the site bolting. In India, the use of PEB will reduce the total construction time of the project by at least 50%. This also allows for faster occupancy and earlier realization of revenue.
  • 2. Lower Cost
    Due to the systems approach, there is a significant saving in design, manufacturing and on-site erection cost. The secondary members and cladding nest together reducing transportation cost.
  • 3. Flexibility of Expansion
    Buildings can be easily expanded in length by adding additional bays. Also, expansion in width and height is possible by pre-designing for future expansion.
  • 4. Larger Spans
    Buildings can be supplied to around 80M clear spans
  • 5. Quality Control
    As buildings are manufactured completely in the factory under controlled conditions the quality is assured.
  • 6. Low Maintenance
    Buildings are supplied with high-quality paint systems for cladding and steel to suit ambient conditions at the site, which results in long durability and low maintenance costs.
  • 7. Energy-Efficient Roofing and Wall Systems
    Buildings can be supplied with polyurethane insulated panels or fiberglass blankets insulation to achieve required “U” values.
  • 8. Architectural Versatility
    The building can be supplied with various types of fascias, canopies, and curved eaves and are designed to receive precast concrete wall panels, curtain walls, block walls and other wall systems.
  • 9. Single Source Availability
    As the complete building package is supplied by a single vendor, compatibility of all the building components and accessories is assured. This is one of the major benefits of pre-engineered building systems.

The major application of PESS is found in the following:

  • Houses & Living Shelters
  • Factories
  • Warehouses
  • Sports Halls ( Indoor and Outdoor)
  • Aircraft Hangers
  • Supermarkets
  • Workshops
  • Office Buildings
  • Labor Camps
  • Petrol Pumps/Service Buildings
  • Schools
  • Community centers
