Finding the Right Pre Engineered Building Manufacturer

by Rirawo A. Consultant

Pre-engineered buildings are buildings that have been designed, engineered and manufactured offsite. The components are delivered to the construction site and erected to get the required building.

PEBs are manufactured from pre-fabricated steel sections. The steel sections are then bolted/screwed together at the site, and a knocked-down version of it is transported to the site, where a team of experts undertakes erection. Steel is used for the primary and secondary members, with other materials added to the roof structure wherever required. The structures can be erected more quickly and efficiently than conventional buildings and require less on-site labour; however, some degree of on-site welding is required for cladding.

Main Frame Steel Column and Rafters

Built-up plate section is a highly accurate and quick structured welding process that allows pre-engineered buildings to derive maximum benefit of steel consumption by using high strength through built-up plate sections for optimal steel consumption.

Girts

Grits are the secondary horizontal member, usually attached to the main frame columns.

Wall girts are used to support built-in partitions or to create columns or arches. The wall girts could be flat or curved and of various thicknesses and variable depths dependent upon the design. They are connected to the external extensions of the columns along the walls. The clips provide a method for joining wall girts to the outer projection of the side wall lines or external girders, thus forming separate wall segments.

Thus, wall girts are a vital component of the pre-engineered structure and form a part of the connectible sheeting and primary framing system.
