Pre Engineered Buildings

Over the past, innovations and technology enhancement have leveraged various new developments that have been embraced and adapted in various engineering fields. Pre engineered building is one such innovation that has been widely used for it unparallel advantages. These structures are widely used in construction of rack supported warehouses also termed as self supported warehouses. The history of pre engineered building is ov er 50 years ( since 1960) old but in the recent years it has been used more commercially. A survey conducted by the Metal Building Associations (MBMA) exemplifies, that around 60% of the non residential low rises building in USA are pre engineered buildings. Pre engineered buildings are generally low rise buildings however the maximum eave height can go up to 25 to 30 metres. Low rise buildings are ideal for offices, houses, showrooms, warehouses etc. The application of pre engineered buildings concept to low rise buildings is very economical and speedy. Buildings can be constructed in less than half the normal time especially when complemented with the other engineered sub systems. Read more
