Mezzanine Floor System in Pre engineered Buildings

The word mezzanine comes from Italian mezzano “middle”. A mezzanine floor is an intermediate floor between main floors of a peb building, and therefore not counted as overall floors of a building.

Generally, the mezzanine frame is connected to the main rigid frame columns for lateral stability. This mezzanine framing consist of profiled steel deck, beams, joists and intermediate support columns.

Mezzanine beam and joists are designed and analyzed as simple span members.

The Standard Supertech Mezzanine Framing System consists of a steel deck supported by joists framed onto main mezzanine beams.

If required by design loads, the main beams shall also be supported by intermediate columns.

The economy of a mezzanine system is affected by the applied loads (dead, live and collateral) and mezzanine column spacing.

Mezzanine Beam connection to main frame column

If possible, the primary mezzanine beams should run across the width of the building and be located under the main frame rafters. Joists should run parallel to the roof purlins along the length of the building.

Benefit of Mezzanine Flooring System

Mezzanine system in a warehouse effectively doubles the capacity of the area where the mezzanine floor is built. Some of the Mezzanine are built to accommodate light machinery and office space, while some are used for temporary or long-term storage of supplies or equipment.

These mezzanines can be built in square, rectangular and irregularly-shaped configurations.

They can be structural, as they can be built into the structure of a building.

Mezzanines floor are often grated and they are usually much smaller in terms of area than the floors or stories below them

Multi-level mezzanine, interior equipment platforms, catwalks and staircases are now also accommodated.

Safety Measures to Avoid Leakage Problem in Pre engineered Buildings

Safety Measures to Avoid Leakage Problem in Pre engineered Buildings

Maintenance of a building depends upon building design, material specification and access provisions. It is necessary to make sure that the leak proof performance of a building is not compromised. Preventive maintenance of Pre engineered buildings should be carefully checked that waste and small items such as screws, pop rivets, drill bits or any ferrous object are removed by sweeping with a soft nylon brush.

Safety solution should be taken for problems:

• 1.    Problems of leakage may arise due to the difference between profiles of sheets. If metal sheets are purchased from two different roofing sheets manufacturers, then there will be problem of leakage.
  
• 2.    The water leakage problem is also due to the gap between the lapping. Hence to overcome this problem use of adhesive sheets between the gaps can be a best method as all the gaps are fully closed, water leakage problem get solved.
• 3.    The problem of leakage is also due to improper drilling during fixing of nuts and screws so drilling should be done properly with perfect size in order to avoid such problems.
• 4.    Good painting should be provided in order to avoid corrosion effect.
• 5.    Components at higher level should be painted well and then erected.

Regular maintenance is an important factor to maximize the life of PEB,s. Maintenance depend upon the locality and environment of the building. Pre engineeredbuildings areas with moisture and dry climate requires proper care than in mild and less populated industrial areas.

Prefabricated Structures in India by Supertech India Pvt. Ltd.

The emergence of prefabrication in architecture has been admired for its potential to increase productivity and efficiency without sacrificing quality. Developing countries which include India, China, Africa and many parts of South America are beginning to rely on prefabrication structures due to their potential advantages like quick construction, affordability and eco-friendly nature.

History of Prefabrication Construction in India

Prefabrication building construction in India began with the emergence of the Hindustan Housing Factory which was developed by the first Prime Minister of India, Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru. 

This step was as a solution to the housing crisis resulted from influx of refugees from West Pakistan in 1950s. The purpose of Hindustan Housing Factory (HPL) was to produce low-income housing solutions for the shortage in India.

Current scenario of Prefabricated Structures in India

The quality and durability of Prefab construction is much higher when the components are manufactured in a stable environment such as factory. 

This has gained popularity in India where today, prefabrication construction is durable, modern as the material used are more efficient, safer from climatic damage and can be reused in the material stream.

Traditional construction method which involve the usage of timber molds or shuttering for roof spans and any other kind of structure have a short lifespan and due to the huge demand of construction in the peak season, they are often unavailable. 

The prefabricated methods of roof construction remove the issues of timber molds and shuttering. The introduction of prefabrication to the logistic section has been a good initiative to modern construction. Currently Prefabricated Buildings Technology is used in construction of school, aircraft hangers, Supermarkets, Metro Stations, Stadiums, Cold Storages, Showrooms, Offices, Bus Shelters etc.

Prefabricated Manufacturing and construction will continue to grow in India due to the increasing demand for affordable housing and commercial construction. Most of the Prefabricated Structures Manufacturing companies are emerging within India to serve the increasing demand of commercial and housing construction for the fastest growing population and economy in the world.

PEB BUILDING MAINTENANCE

How to maintain Pre-engineered buildings?

What are the maintenance steps for PEB Buildings?

These are the major question which arises while constructing any type of building structure. Maintenance of building is the most important factor which cannot be overlooked when we talk about durability and long lasting of Pre-engineered building. In PEB, durability of a building could be affected by various factors such as location, humidity and weather.

India is emerging as the fastest growing market in the PEB construction segment. Infrastructure development in short period of time have led to increase popularity of PEB systems in the industrial sector leading to a robust growth of Indian PEB market. This PEB concept has gained popularity and the scope of growth is increasing due to India’s huge infrastructural requirements.  The application of PEB ranges from showrooms, low height commercial complexes, workshops, stadiums, industrial building and warehouse, aircraft hangers, railway and metro stations etc. In PEB, durability of any structure mostly depends on its component parts and its regular maintenance work. To improve the durability, maintenance of PEB building is a very important factor.

Maintenance of PEB depends upon the environmental zone, pollution level in which the building is located. The core maintenance required in PEB is steel roofing and cladding. Buildings should be taken much care in humid areas as the moisture present in the air breakdowns the paint.

Maintenance procedure of PEB depends from building to building, design, material specifications and access provisions. It is also very important to ensure that leak performance of building is not compromised.

Small and waste items such as drill bits, pop rivets, screws and any ferrous objects are removed by sweeping with soft nylon brush. Sand and dirt should be cleaned and removed by washing with clean and removed by washing with clean potable water. Oil, grease, tar can be removed with mineral spirits followed by detergent and clean water rinse.

We can come to a conclusion that pre-engineered buildings are the future of industrial India due to its advantages. Prefabricated Metal buildings are now making its way to residential buildings because of its saving in terms of effort, time and money.

Sheeting Process in a Pre-Engineered Building

The process includes fixing of base angle to the concrete slab through masonry nails. For fixing, power actuated tools is recommended. The erection contractor provides the fixing for the base angle, ensuring the compatibility of nails and fixing tools. The base angle is recommended to set 200mm from the column flange.

There is a tendency for wall girts to sag under own dead load. Temporarily girts are supported in a horizontal line from floor to girt using timber props, girt to girt, girt to eave strut. Until the wall panels are screwed, with props on its place. Hence, they can then be removed and relocated to next bay. Once the panels are installed, girts will remain straight and horizontal.

Before starting with the sheeting, it is recommended to check the drawing details. Starting position to be given in relation to steel line, mark the starting position, marking out the gauge of the sheets along the concrete notch. The most convenient part is the insulation, if unrolled on the ground and pre-cut as per the required length. From eave to floor, a full length piece is used with allowance top and bottom for folding over. For making the girt position, chalk line is essential for maintaining a straight screw line.

Then we go for sheeting of walls, here the first drop of insulation is fixed using double tape on base angle and eave strut which is used to hold the insulation. It is important to keep the insulation vertical and taught.

Place the puf panel in the marked position, plumb it and screw. Since end-wall panels are pre-cut in the factory hence no further cutting is required. Now the next procedure include completing all wall sheeting before starting with roof, as the eave trim covers the top of wall panel and fit under the roof panel.

It is recommended to seek for technical specification to Top Peb manufacturer in India.
