PEBs - Pre-Engineered Steel buildings were first introduced in India, almost two decades back, as an alternate of conventionally site fabricated, factory and warehouse building construction.
Fortunately, this coincides with the era of economical and industrial development in India. Soon Pre-Engineered Steel Buildings became the norm for fast track and high quality industrial construction. Over the years, Indian manufacturing industry got convinced. If they have to meet the pace and demand of their respective markets, they not only have to build their factories faster, but also adopt method of construction, which brings in more efficiency and productivity. Today, as we are evolving, our outlook is also shifting, from purely economical to more inclusive socio-economical development with health, education, cleanliness, safety, mobility and digital networking being the key drivers of our evolution. Along with factories, we now wish to build smarter habitats and cities with better options for schools, hospitals, transportation systems, affordable housing, skill and employment centres, and other facilities, with an objective to create a sustainable environment, thereby, improving overall life and efficiency of its citizen.
Concept of Smart Cities will hopefully open up new avenues for usage of steel, in Indian Construction Industry. Pre-engineered Steel will be the best option available for stake holders of Smart cities, if something is to be built, as desired. A lot depends on the architects and engineers of these cities, who will play key role in utilising benefits of steel as the primary material of construction, right from the conceptual stage of projects. By understanding definite advantages of quality, speed, accuracy and efficiency of Pre-engineered Steel, the present mindset of higher initial cost as against conventional construction, can be challenged.
At INTERARCH, we have always tried to remain ahead of the learning curve keeping the pace with demand in these upcoming segments. We have recently delivered some very significant projects, which can set the trend for the future. Ground plus 7-floors steel structure for Fortis Hospital Bengaluru is one such example. INTERARCH has handed over ready-for-fit-out floors in record time, by cutting down the construction time by almost half.
The next example is a multi-storey Hostel Building, built in Pre-Engineered Steel at Thapar University Campus, Patiala Punjab. The ground plus two floors' hostel blocks, with total floor area of 17,000 sq m, were designed and build-to-finish by INTERARCH, within a short span of 6 months. Primary members are solid web built up sections, manufactured out of 345Mpa Hi-tensile Steel. Wall frames and internal partitions are manufactured out of INTERARCH Light-Steel framing system, finished with boards and metal ceiling panels, as per architectural specifications.
Centurion University, in partnership with National Skill Development Corporation operates an 'Employability Training Service' through their Skill Development Centre called 'Gram Tarang' at Bhubaneswar, Odisha. It provides Skill training and vocational education in the field of Automotive / Manufacturing / Civil construction / Mining / Electrical / Electronics / Apparel / Textiles Retail / Hospitality / IT &ITeS for employment / Self-employment of Youth from disadvantaged areas of Eastern and North-Eastern regions of India. At INTERARCH, we got an opportunity to contribute to the socio-economic and educational initiative, by building ground plus two-floor steel building structures for the Skill Centres.
Today in India, we come across earnest efforts by various authorities in implementing 'Right-to-Education' act, thereby, provide compulsory and free education to children, in the age group of 6 to 14 years. Under Delhi Government, one such notable initiative is upgrading and adding thousands of new class rooms, in all the government schools across Delhi. It gives us immense satisfaction, when INTERARCH's Steel framed buildings are used to construct these Schools.
