FAQs

1. What is the FAB (Feature, Advantage, Benefit) analysis of Pre-Engineered Steel buildings for an industrial building requirement?

 2. What are the direct/tangible and indirect/intangible advantages of PEB? 

Time and cost are the direct benefits. Flexibility in expansion, aesthetics etc., are indirect.

3. What are the main differences between conventional steel and pre-engineered steel construction?

Please refer to our brochure

4. What are the differences of pre-fabricated and pre engineered steel buildings?

Though, in general, both are used interchangeably, ‘a thoroughly optimised design’ is the advantage of pre engineered steel building.

5. Is PEB an all-terrain solution?

Yes. The design loads need to be specified correctly. Site accessibility for comfortable transport and enough room for erection activity need to be confirmed

6. What is the suitability of PEB for hill top or desert or coastal conditions?

Yes. Please answer to Q.6

7. Is PEB an all-weather solution?

Yes

8. Is PEB an all-application solution?

Yes

9. What is the suitability of PEB for underground /multi storey construction?

PEB is suitable

10. Is PEB an all-sector solution?

Yes. Any structure that can be produced with conventional steel construction method can be done with PEB

11. What is the suitability of PEB to chemical plants/acidic fumes?

Needs to be checked with the original manufacturer of the components that go into PEB

12. Is PEB an all-size/all-dimensional solution?

Yes. While for length there is no limit (with expansion joints), span can go up to even 90 m clear (for hangars).

13. What are the minimal dimensions (l X b X h) of PEB for an economical solution?

It is a case to case analysis. Dimensions need to be submitted to our design department through sales

14. What are the maximum possible dimensions (l X b X h) of PEB?

While for length there is no limit (with expansion joints), span can go up to even 90 m clear (for hangars).

15. What is the fire rating for PEB system?
16. What are the savings in foundation for PEB in comparison with conventional steel and RCC?

As the load is reduced along with the number of footings, PEB is definite up in comparison with the other 2.

17. What are the fundamental/main/basic components of a PEB?

Primary (3 plate built up sections), secondaries (Z purlins), profiled sheeting and accessories

18. What is the life of PEB, overall and component wise?
19. What is the component wise corrosion resistance measure of PEB?
20. What is the flexibility of PEB in future expansion of all dimensions - length wise, width wise and height wise?

Length wise is the most comfortable. Design dept need to be consulted for expansion on height and width wise.

21. What is the adaptability of PEB for taking any additional loads?

All loads on structure need to be specified at the time of design

22. What aspects of PEB qualify it for a certification as a green building?

Please refer to our brochure

23. What percentage of PEB is dismantlable and reusable, component wise?

100 % if good care is taken while dismantling, transporting and reerecting

24. What kind of guarantees is provided for PEB?

      One year warranty against any manufacturing defects
