Fire Protection
Although structural steel offers the advantage of being non-combustible, both strength and stiffness decrease with increases in temperature. The yield strength of structural steel maintains at least 85 percent of its normal value up to temperatures of approximately 427 °C (800 °F), and continues to diminish as temperatures increase. Both active and passive fire protection […]
PEB vs Conventional Steel and Concrete Frame
Let’s get technical and understand the real value of pre-engineered steel buildings. What is the Difference between PEB and Conventional Steel Frame design? The Primary Framing System In conventional steel buildings, mill-produced standard-sized hot rolled sections are used for beams and columns. The size of each member is selected on the basis of the […]
Weather Resistance Preparation
Watch the video on the preparation procedure for weather resistance. One of the greatest advantages of PEB is that they are built to last. The structures are engineered to withstand the most severe weather conditions, including snow storms, hurricanes, and earthquakes. Appropriate foundations will also firmly anchor the structures to the ground, preventing them from […]
PEB Maintenance
Pre-engineered steel buildings (PEBs) have gained popularity with sectors such as industrial, manufacturing and warehousing owing to the benefits they possess. Not only does PEB offer protection against all kinds of weather, it can also withstand issues such as termites and rodents, growth of mould, mildew, or fungi, and cracking, warping or creeping like other […]
Building Shapes
Watch the video on the different building shapes. No doubt design engineering and steel optimization will always play an integral role in your pre-engineered steel building (PEB) facility. However, there are choices customers can make that would affect how your building is being designed. Apart from the exterior façade and colours, customers can also choose […]
Design for Disassembly
The concept of Design for Disassembly (DfD) has emerged in recent years but the application of it to buildings remains challenging. Currently, many building materials are not reusable. Materials are often interconnected in ways that make them difficult to separate and reuse even if they are theoretically reusable. The long lifespan of buildings makes it difficult to […]
Infinite Possibilities with PEB
Pre-engineered steel building designed for multistorey, commercial and institutional facilities. Pre-engineered steel buildings are designed with precision, and the building components are fully fabricated at the factory, before delivering to site to be bolted together. An efficiently designed pre-engineered steel building can be lighter than conventional steel designed buildings by as much as 30%, which […]
Up and Safely on its Way
Sometimes the best way to transport product through a warehouse or manufacturing facility is to lift it up then move it along. Handling materials overhead can increase productivity, enhance safety, improve ergonomics and maximize available floor space by using space above the floor to move goods. While some industrial and commercial operations can only be […]
Green Benefits of Pre-engineered Steel Buildings
In strengthening our resilience to climate change, green buildings are paramount development and are gaining momentum in southeast Asia. About 10 percent of global carbon emissions are a result of the manufacturing of building materials such as steel, cement, and glass, as well as construction and demolition of buildings. Hence, a holistic approach needs to […]
Modular Erection of Pre-engineered Buildings
Modular Erection is when the majority of the steel structure construction that is usually performed at height is now done on the building pad at ground level. Mechanical, Electrical and Plumbing (MEP) integration such as fixing of sprinkler pipes, electrical junction box and cable trays can also be fixed, inspected and tested as much as […]
