Why Choose Pre-fabricated Steel Construction Over Conventional One?

Posted by Sunil Srivastava on September 27th, 2017

Today, the Indian construction industry marches towards high rise constructions in industrial buildings and housing, roads, underground tunnel, etc. Specifically for residential and industrial buildings, precast is increasingly seen as a high quality and economic option. The current economic growth demands quicker construction without losing quality features and without project delay, project cost outfit involved in shortage of labour or similar related construction uncertainties. This again justifies the use of prefab technology. Considering the overall scenario, prefabricated construction technology is bringing heartening results which are already seen in many parts of the Middle East and Europe. So far many large projects such as metro rail, bridges and commercial buildings have been constructed using this technology. Also, its several benefits have prompted many major real estate companies to embrace this technology thus making some a leading pre-engineered buildings manufacturer.

Why Choose Steel over traditional construction?

The beauty of steel lies in its unbelievable strength and durability. Flexibility is the important feature of steel. Steel also has the unique ability to bend without cracking, which is another great benefit, as a still building can flex when is pushed to one side by wind, snow or even an earthquake. Finally, steel has great plasticity. When subjected to great pressure or force, it won’t suddenly brake or shatter like glass, but would gradually distort and bend. Also, steel performs far better in a scenario such as earthquake than nearly any other material.

Saving Cost & Going Green

Steel is known to hold up to all forms of weather, it’s fire resistant and compared to other buildings options, pre-engineered steel buildings can be up to 30% less to insure. Many consider these buildings to be for the lifetime as the power of steel makes it perfect material for buildings needing large open floor spaces including community centers, arenas of all types, manufacturing and religious facilities. Steel buildings also have a clear span of 300’ wide, which gives the designer and builder a huge space that’s column free and adds the capability to please complicated space designs while maintaining an imaginative floor area.

Pre-engineered steel buildings are considered to be one of the most environment friendly forms of building construction. They are precisely designed to offer the required building function with the least amount of construction waste. Also, with steel being a recyclable material, it adds to the green aspect of the environment.

Many portable cabin manufacturers use steel greatly in their manufacturing unit as
it saves a good amount of cost and can be used in adverse climatic conditions. Also with the usage of steel, it’s extremely easier and faster to construct than majority of the construction systems.
