Speedy and cost-effective construction through PEBs

Pre-engineered buildings became popular as a speedy, cost-effective way to construct warehouses. Now, the technology is being used to construct warehouses as well as a diverse set of buildings.

In 2021, Samsung India Electronics appointed Shintec Engineering India to construct a factory in Sriperumbudur. The factory, to produce compressors, was to be a steel structure, “in keeping with the mindset of Korean companies that see a steel building as an investment that gains value over time, as opposed to a concrete building that loses its value over time,” explains C D Singh, Managing Director, Shintec, Korea. “Also, a steel building is faster to create.”

Environment-friendly fly ash bricks make up the walls of BHEL’s corporate tower at Noida while steel composite decking technology was used for the floors and high-gradesteel beams and purlins (secondary members), covered with appropriatefalse ceiling, made up the roof. “All the material choices were aimed atensuring speedy construction, minimal deadweight and longevity of thefloors,” shares S B Misra, Director, Shalimar Corporation.

Dr Shroff’s Charity Hospital in Saharanpur, Uttar Pradesh, is housed in a ground-plus-one structure built in steel. “We opted for pre-engineered construction technology to meet strict deadlines for this project,” says Harish Sharma, Project Head, Dr Shroff’s Charity Hospital. “We wanted to start eyecare services almost immediately after assessing the local need. Based on the project timelines, we can safely say that pre-engineered construction technology saved about 60 per cent of the time that conventional civil construction would have taken.”

CW lists many such projects that have made use of PEBs.
