Pre-engineering building structure construction is a highly technical process. From the design stage to the construction of individual components to the erection of the building itself, it spans many steps and requires cumulative expertise from different fields. BNAL is one of the top PEB building companies that undertakes PEB building construction. The designing process involves measurements taken to the tiniest fractions and design creation to match customer requirements. Many latest softwares are required during the design process. New and cutting edge technology is used to create the components required for construction of PEB building structure. These are manufactured in machines that are very sophisticated and are free from any errors arising due to human error. From the factory where these components are manufactured, they have to be transported to the site of the building. Once these logistics have been taken care of the actual construction of the building can start.
What are the steps involved in the construction of a pre-engineering building structure?
Even though the construction of each pre-engineered building structure is different and dependent on the individual requirement of the customer, there are certain basic steps that are followed for most constructions by PEB building company. PEB building cost is also dependent on the customisations that are required and any special construction techniques that may have to be added to the normal process.
- The process of construction starts by building column combing with purlins and bracing columns together. Adjust the columns and continue building the rafters.
- First the inside truss frames are installed and then the ones outside are installed. This has to be done in sync with the movement of the construction crane.
- The construction starts at the braced bay.
- Two construction frames are placed in a braced position and settled. Then a new frame is placed and this process is repeated for the next frame.
- During the construction process, you need to have a temporary brace. To locate and link all the rafter frames, purlins can be used with bracing cables.
- The construction of the steel panel should be initiated only after adjusting the rafter frame and straightening the purlin. Clean up and paint all the scratches on the rafters and the purlins.
- To balance the steel panel, use chalks or stretch attached wire to locate or mark access positions.
- Be careful when walking on the roof of pre-engineered building structure components. Keep your foot on the bottom waves as the steel panels may become damaged or leaky or lose shape when you step on high waves.
- Avoid working on panels that are bright in colour.
For the actual construction, the steps that are undertaken are –
- Before construction starts, be sure to check if you have appropriate equipment and material, in terms of quantity, quality and requirement.
- Start with the construction of columns, followed by rafter, purlin and brace.
- Calibrate the first frame, followed by the next frame and so on till all the frames have been installed.
- After that, the construction for the roof monitor can be done.
- This is followed by checking that the construction has been properly completed.
- The last step is the construction of the covering.
- Inspect for any issues and address them.
