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.
