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.
