Introduction to Pre fabricated steel structures

A prefabricated structure is defined as a structure built through the association and/ or completion on site of several elements built in a factory and assembled on site. The concept of pre fabricated construction includes buildings where the majority of structural components are standardized and produced in plants in allocation away from the building, and then transported to the site for assembly.

Steel industry is growing rapidly in almost all parts of the world. The use of steel structures is not only economical but also eco-friendly at the time when there is a threat of global warming. Times being the most important aspect, pre fabricated steel structures are built in very short period and one such example is Pre Engineered Building. Pre EngineeredBuildings are nothing but steel buildings in which excess steel is neglected by tapering the sections as per the bending moment’s requirement.

Advantages of Pre fabricated Steel Structure

• The Key advantages of Prefabricated steel structures are assembly of finished elements on site leading to quick execution.
• Better ability to build at optimized steel consumption
• Flexibility and durability make it strong enough to withstand earthquakes and other natural adversity.
• Better finishing of products for clients
• Improved productivity and profitability for contractors 
• Quicker build time on site
• Environmental benefits associated with its use
• Great quality end products due to closer factory control of part of the process

Some of the applications of prefabricated steel structures are factory building, workshops, Aircraft hangers, industrial sheds, community centres, multi storied buildings, distribution centres, cold storages etc. Pre fabricated steel structures play a vital role to play in future of a more sustainable, efficient construction industry.
