We are elevating aesthetics with our commitment to sustainable PEBs

Ankur Bedi, Director of Business Development at Cold Steel Corporation, speaks about architectural vision and green building principles.

How do pre-engineered building design engineers and experts prioritise sustainability during the initial stages? 

Pre-engineered building design engineers and experts prioritise sustainability during the initial stages of construction. PEB, an advanced and eco-friendly construction technology, has rapidly grown in India over the past two decades. Initially, shifting from conventional buildings to mechanised and automated construction methods was challenging. However, the industry has evolved into designing and constructing complex industrial buildings, including high-rise structures, power plants, steel plants, and data centres. These structures are unique, innovative and comply with high safety standards. PEB offers advantages such as custom-aided designs, faster installation, factory-controlled quality, large spans, earthquake resistance, recyclability, ease of expansion, and good return on resale. They are increasingly common in both rural and urban areas.

How can pre-engineered structures’ aesthetics align with a project’s desired architectural vision and style? 

The aesthetic appeal of Pre-Engineered Buildings (PEBs) has been a significant selling point since their inception. Unlike conventional structures, PEBs boast superior finishing due to strict manufacturing standards followed by reputable brands. To continuously improve their appearance, PEB design engineers, drafters, production teams, and erection engineers remain focused on enhancing the visual appeal of PEBs, aiming to make them highly coveted and best performing. By staying updated on industry developments within the PEB sector and beyond, we strive to deliver PEBs that satisfy our customers’ aesthetic preferences to the fullest extent.

Can you explain the sustainable aspects of PEB and how it aligns with green building principles?

 In times when the crusade for green construction is on with much vigour, PEB structures come to the forefront with a high proportion of recycled content. A structure is considered Green if the design and construction material used significantly reduces or eliminates the negative impact of buildings on the environment and its occupants. Pre-engineered construction is inherently green and has a comparatively smaller environmental impact than conventional brick-and-mortar ones. The energy-efficient methods used in producing the steel for Pre-engineered structures and the high recycled content help substantially reduce greenhouse gas emissions. It is indeed an environment-friendly and energy-efficient construction technology.

What innovative techniques or materials are used in PEB to ensure structural integrity and durability? 

PEBs are designed to withstand loads and environmental conditions. Quality control ensures structural components meet strength and durability standards, enhancing safety and reducing risks. Manufacturers adhere to local codes, standards, and guidelines, ensuring compliance. Quality control also ensures high-quality materials and components, increasing durability and longevity. Rigorous measures result in PEBs that meet high standards and endure over time.

How does the customisation potential of PEB cater to specific project requirements and architectural designs?

PEB Construction offers customised design and fabrication to meet specific project requirements. PEB buildings can be tailored accordingly for warehouses, manufacturing facilities, or offices. They are known for fast construction times as components are prefabricated in a factory and shipped to the site. This makes PEB buildings ideal for companies needing quick setups. PEB buildings are cost-effective, durable, and versatile for various construction projects.
