Prefabricated Structures Manufacturers in India

PEB in India is the new phenomenon to hit the infrastructure and construction industries in a big way. The boost of these sectors and consequent action on the realty front has ensured that prefabricated metal buildings are not just here to stay but are the future of the industry. It has emerged as the alternative to conventional building methods, as is validated by the 33% market share of prefab buildings.

In India: the pioneering company for Pre- engineered buildings is Interarch Buildings. Commencing operations in India in 1984, Interarch today is one of the top-notch profile-sheeting companies and prefabricated structures manufacturers in India. Today, Interarch is a leading turnkey solution provider; from a false ceiling to metal roofing, blinds to steel structures and PEB building. The company has invested in its own integrated facilities for design, manufacture, logistics and project execution for pre-engineered steel buildings. The company holds a lion’s share of the market; and is a most respected and valued PEB supplier in the country.

The greatest challenge for PEB in India is the lack of awareness, followed by rigidity to change, besides the cost factor. The conversion is slow; since the prevalent perception is that conventional methods of construction are cheaper and better. While it is true that PEB is more expensive, in the long run the compounded advantages definitely outweigh the cost factor. In the last decade, there has been significant shift towards prefab buildings and use of steel structure. Interarch has played a path-breaking role as educator, informer as well as a pioneer of PEB solutions. PEB has now found increased application industrial construction like warehouses, factories, airport hangars, cold storage, supermarkets, stadium and even high-rises.

Interarch Buildings offers the advantage of design flexibility complemented with all the benefits of superior quality and durability. Its PEB steel buildings, in keeping with global standards, are also far more eco-friendly than normal masonry construction. It allows for easy integration of all traditional materials like timber, brickwork and glazing in an optimized design. Weather-tight roofing and wall coverings come with accessories for maintenance-free exteriors. Pushing the envelope to deliver excellence, Interarch Buildings today stands tall as top manufacturing companies PEB in India.

In 1992, Interarch pioneered TRACDEK, Colour-coated, engineered metal roof and wall systems in India. In 1984 Interarch introduced TRAC range of metal and Glass Reinforced Gypsum ceilings are specially designed for the Indian market. TRAC set the trend for contemporary technology-driven roofing design, making Interarch one of the top metal construction companies in the country.

Increased cost of steel and shortage of skilled labour are also some of the hurdles. While steel prices are governed by market fluctuations, Interarch proactively runs regular training programmers to address the paucity of trained workers. Already the leading PEB manufacturer, Interarch Buildings has recently won prestigious projects to add to its impressive client portfolio. The company has added a separate division to cater to the demands of heavy engineering and large infrastructure projects.

Growing popularity of PEB Buildings

The world is evolving each day. Technology that was new yesterday could soon become obsolete. In this age of change and evolution, the construction business is seeing new techniques being introduced every day. Amongst all the trends prevalent in the market that of pre-engineered buildings is one that is becoming increasingly popular and convenient.

Internationally, PEB buildings are known to hold about 70 percent of market share in the United States. In India too, the trend of residential and commercial steel buildings is growing leaps and bounds.

One of the most reputable PEB structure manufacturers in India is Interarch Buildings. Following international trends and designs, Interarch has helped in the growth of prefabricated steel buildings in India.

Pre-engineered metal building systems are used worldwide in the construction of various entities. Their lightweight, effectiveness of the structure and convenience in construction are just some of the reasons for their popularity. Metal buildings are used across domains, be it industrial, recreational, commercial or military and aircraft facilities. In fact complex constructions like trade centers and sports stadiums also make use of pre-engineered structures.

Industrial construction is a vast field. The variety of structures build is massive and they are complex at the same time. Warehouses are one of the fundamental industrial structures. They are generally gigantic and the most important requisite for them is durability. Warehouses store tons of goods for companies and the preservation of the material in the condition, it was bought is of paramount importance. This is where PEB structure manufactures hold an edge. These structures are sturdier and offer a protective cover from a lot of elements of nature.

Similarly, institutional construction also provides a challenge, but of a different nature. The focus during the construction of schools, sports halls, hospitals and theaters is more on the architecture and design of the structure. Here, the advantage for pre-engineered steel buildings suppliers is the advancements in technology, since PEB buildings make use of technology in designing. Through available software’s and pre-loaded programs, designs and patterns for buildings can be finalized in no time. United States being the first mover in the PEB buildings sector has numerous designs to offer and pre-engineered buildings in India make use of a lot of these designs and patterns.

In the aviation and military fields, the element of strength comes to the fore. The value of aviation material and importance of military establishments make these structures extremely crucial to protect. PEB buildings offer more resistance and strength than normal structures. They are therefore increasingly preferred in the construction of aircraft hangers, residential barracks, administrative buildings, etc.

The list of PEB companies is growing each day in India. The growth of the sector and numerous opportunities it offers has got a lot of players interested. But, currently there aren’t many pre-engineered building suppliers with the reputation and expertise that Interarch Buildings provide. And, considering the technical know-how that is required in the successful construction of prefabricated metal buildings, the Indian market has a lot to learn from Interarch Buildings.

Multi-Level Pre Engineered Steel Buildings for Process Industries

Multi-level Process PEB Structure demands the use of heavy and durable yet strong materials. Steel, by virtue of its high strength to weight ratio enables large spans and light weight construction. Taller buildings also face higher wind loads, and hence steel being flexible, allows the building to move and deflect with the wind forces, rather than making it rigid like concrete.

 Interarch's Multi storey Pre-engineered steel buildings have unmatched benefits like:

·         High strength to volume/mass ratio.

·         Speed in construction and time saving in comparison to RCC, resulting in early return on investment.

·         Steel frames are lighter in weight in comparison to RCC frame. Lighter foundations are required for steel buildings due to less weight than RCC resulting cost advantage over civil construction.

               

·         Occupies less space and can be designed for larger span/column free spaces, resulting greater coverage, this helps in large open office spaces and large auditoriums and concerts halls, etc.

               

·         Steel structures can have a variety of structural forms like braced frames and moment resistant frames suitable to meet the specific requirements of higher buildings.

·         Tall Building with steel allows more floors per total height of the building.            

Interarch recently designed, manufactured and executed a multilevel mezzanine structure of 6 storey and conveyor bridge above that with the total bridge length of 32 M for food processing plant near Pune.

The conveyor bridge is resting on steel structure and side of the other side on their RCC structure. Interarch design team has implemented a unique design for interface using Tekla software. Tekla 3D is used for superimposing the drawing given by the client in the model designed by Interarch and then identifying the exact locations of all the openings and their equipment.

The structure is a multilevel 6 storey mezzanine structure supporting various silos and equipment at various level of mezzanines. At the top level of the mezzanine, a conveyer bridge structure has been constructed at a height of 45.1 m from the ground, which is spanning 32 m. Major challenge during the erection of conveyer bridge structure which is spanning 32 m was the erection of complete assembly at a time. By using center of gravity from the tekla model of Conveyer Bridge, lifting points are provided to ensure perfect alignments and geometry during erection.
