The concept of pre-engineered buildings in India is fairly
nascent. While the technology has been around for some time, in India consumer
awareness is considerably lower in comparison to other world markets. However,
PEB in India is slowly gaining momentum, thanks to the real estate industry
which has begun to embrace this technique. A pioneering PEB structure manufacturer in the field, Interarch Buildings has set new
standards of construction in the industry.
Ready-to-assemble furniture and modular kitchens are in vogue
nowadays. But consider this scenario – you buy a building at the store, it is
delivered and assembled on the plot or at the site? PEB buildings are just like
modular kitchens or ready-to-assemble furniture. At Interarch, top PEB
manufacturer in India, the design and detailing work on pre-engineered
structures is carried out by highly-skilled engineering teams. Then prefab
buildings are designed and “fabricated” in the Interarch plants, shipped to the
site and then assembled. The result is built-to-last residential and commercial steel buildings – structures
that are up and running up to 50% faster than traditional construction. And,
since PEB systems are manufactured at the Interarch plants, stringent quality
controls are in place and this helps maintain the consistency of the
construction.
PEB technology involves the use of materials that are more
eco-friendly than conventional burnt bricks, cement, mortar and sand. Steel is
the main component of PEB buildings; it is 90% recyclable and more durable.
Other materials include panels made of wood, cement and gypsum.
Pre-fabricated steel buildings use 40% less steel because the steel used is
high-strength steel. With an optimal design, pre-engineered
metal building systems also produce minimum scrap, compared to conventional buildings.
Moreover, since only 20% of the work is done on-site, emissions of flying dust
and water contamination is minimized. Metal buildings also consume minimum amount of materials. For example, for
buildings up to 7-8 stories, steel consumed is less than 5.5 kilogram per
square foot. In addition, prefab buildings offer high resistance to seismic
forces because it is lightweight and flexible, whereas conventional buildings
have rigid heavy frames and are not viable in case of earthquakes. Also, these
buildings are heat and fire resistant, energy efficient and are created with
almost 70-80 per cent of recycled content. Buildings constructed using prefab
technologies have a life span of 30-50 years, equivalent to the lifespan of
structures using conventional methods.
Interarch Buildings stands foremost in the list of PEB companies
in India. Apart from being the top pre-engineered building
supplier in the country, Interarch is also an industry knowledge leader with
path-breaking innovations in the field. With 30 years of experience, this
leading PEB supplier has delivered countless pre-engineered
metal building systems that are greener than conventional ones.
