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.

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. 

Steel Industry in India

Imposing higher tariffs on steel imports lead to restriction of trade deficit which can be considered as a good move with decline in exports, this means India still remains a net import of steel.

Demand of domestic finished steel remained healthy in July-August 2018, with increasing 6.5% over the year-ago period as given by Joint Plant Committee data. However the steel output grew by just 1%, the market was heavily supplied even if imports fell. Exports decreased considerably, since the industry appeared to be keen on domestic market. As the prices of steel remained the same the depreciation in the rupee versus US dollar would have given domestic companies the edge.

India is quite ahead at 9.5% as compared to China with a growth rate of 8.5% in Pre-engineered construction segment. Though private steel sector has done better, the decrease in steel output is the matter of concern.

As the demand of India steel grows, domestic output has to keep pace with it. Decrease in output tends to decrease volume sales growth with profitability being influenced by increase in price and product mix. Rise in interest rates with higher raw material and fuel cost impact the performance of steel companies as working capital requirement increases.

Indian steel industries appear to be in comfortable position with steel building manufacturer companies to grow at continuous rate of 33%. According to rating agency, India Rating and Research Ltd. It expects steel companies to grow by the end of FY19 with sustained profit margins.
