Prefabricated Vs Pre Engineered Steel – What is The Difference?

 A prefabricated building refers to that which is manufactured in a factory (entire structure or parts) and then carried to the site for assembling.  For instance, the framing – columns, struts, and beams of a pre engineered building is made in factories and then transported to the construction site, where it is then mounted/installed. The term prefab distinguishes itself from traditional construction in this way. In traditional construction, only the materials are carried to the site, where the whole process of construction takes place floor by floor.

Steel buildings are made in different forms. From prefabricated to custom to pre-engineered builds. At EPACK, we make pre engineered buildings of various kinds catering to different industries. These buildings come in many forms from, prefabricated to custom, pre-engineered builds. Both these kinds of buildings are strong, energy efficient and economical to construct. If you are not sure which one would be best for your business, here’s everything you need to know about prefabricated buildings and pre-engineered buildings.

In construction industry, the most widely used structures are pre engineered steel sections. In general, a pre-engineered building is a metal building in which the dimensions, weight, load bearing capacity is all worked out beforehand. Steel is especially well-suited to pre-engineering as it is well known for its long lasting properties and strength. The load-carrying properties of manufactured in factories are done according to strict industry standards. They are consistent and verifiable.

Prefabricated Steel buildings

Prefabricated buildings are made in factories and then shipped to the job site for installation. There structural components like columns, struts, beams form the skeleton of the building. The walls and roof panels are also manufactured off site in factories. Prefabricated buildings are very easy to assemble. They are commonly used for construction of factories, industry sheds, aircraft hangars, airports, etc.

Pre-engineered steel buildings

A pre engineered building is one where every specification – dimensions, load capacity, foundation required, etc are worked out before manufacturing starts. The components are made exactly according the specifications worked out according to the building codes and loads that are required. Pre-engineered buildings also use a prefabricated skeleton. The advantage of pre-engineered buildings is that they can be customised and built according to one’s need. So there is design flexibility which one can take advantage of during one’s expansion needs. These buildings can be made to any size, number of floors, design etc as long as it meets the legal specifications of a given place.

At EPACK, we have more than 20 years of experience in making pre-engineered buildings. We are one of the leading prefabricated structure manufacturers in India. Visit our website to know more.

Prefabrication as the Construction Solution to Counter Climate Change

Image
Construction activities have traditionally been notorious as major contributors to climate change. The inefficiencies in use of resources, disruption to ecological balances and increased greenhouse gas emissions have been the pressing issues faced by traditional construction methodologies. It is undeniable to ignore that conventional infrastructure development projects have had a significant role to play in challenging the global striving towards better sustainability.   In order to attack climate change, we must adopt construction technologies that promise better environmental performance and highly sustainable development. Prefabrication is one such method that enables successful implementation of quality control, material efficiency as well as wastage reduction which leads to considerable impacts in emissions, resource efficiency as well as sustainable development.   Prefabricated buildings as the solution to construction sector’s environmental problems  Pref...

A Short Comparison of Pre-engineered vs Traditional Construction

Image
A pre engineered steel warehouse is one which is made in a manufacturing setup after which the structure components are gotten to the building internet site for assembly as well as setup. The building parts consists of steel beam of lights, columns, truss, girts, purlins, etc. All the elements are joined per various other by screws, joists, rivets, as well as other various kind of joints. The main goal of having a PEB storeroom is to obtain adequate area needed for storage area. In addition to steel structures have huge period for this feature. Yet what are the advantages of PEB storage space facilities over common ones? Fig 1.1 Pre Engineered Steel Warehouse Time Factor is one of the most significant benefit of pre crafted steel storage area facility structures. The structure period is substantially much shorter as a result of modular framework. The various other benefit is that being light-weight, it is convenient to transfer a steel storehouse than a typical one. Warehouses are prim...

Analyzing an Indian Perspective to Prefabricated Building Construction

Image
The modern-age technology of prefabrication has revolutionized building development all over the world. Guaranteeing unparalleled standards of strength, sustainability, cost-effectiveness and speed in construction, prefabrication has emerged as a go-to technology for developing the best durable buildings that last the test of time.    Involving off-site development and simple on-site assembly, prefabrication and modular construction methods have resulted in a significant change in the construction industry over the past few decades. Produced with excellent quality and delivering advanced all-round features, PEB buildings in Delhi have surpassed the quality and performance standards of their concrete or brick and mortar counterparts.  Scenario of pre engineered construction in India   India is one of the most swiftly developing nations and a booming economy in its region. Vast paced urbanization and construction have emerged as the new face of progress in I...
