TRANSFORMING PEB.

APL Apollo has unveiled Apollo Column, a range of black hollow steel sections (HSS) that gives a futuristic edge to construct structures of any design and elevation.

Around the world, there is a shift towards high-performance materials in structural engineering. In the steel construction sector, this has been more evident with built-up sections, but hollow sections are now in the process of raising the strength levels of their products.

The use of HSS has the potential to reduce material costs and project cost. The popularity of HSS in construction has increased dramatically over the years as engineers have become aware of the advantages of steel tubes. The incorporation of HSS connections in the AISC standard have simplified connection design and contributed to the rise in use of hollow structural steel.

HSS are very efficient sections and their major benefits are inherent in their shape and engineering properties. The closed shape and relatively large moment of inertia about the weak axis make them highly resistant against the torsional effects. Architects & engineers can take advantage of the modern and aesthetically pleasing appearance of exposed HSS structures.

HSS STRUCTURES REDUCES PROJECT COST

The unit material cost of HSS is higher than that of open built-up sections, but that's not the whole story. The additional strength of steel tube permits an optimum design. Use of HSS sections against Built-up sections significantly reduces weight.

Reducing the weight also saves in transportation and erection cost. In those applications where paint is required, the fact that hollow sections have 30-40% less surface area than equivalent built-up sections can result in using less material and reducing application time, both of which reduce costs. Furthermore, the smooth corners in HSS structures reduce susceptibility to corrosion which lessens the life cycle cost.

APOLLO COLUMN CHEAPER THAN CONVENTIONAL PEB

Apollo Column is a range of black hollow steel sections that gives a futuristic edge to construct structures of any design and elevation. It offers India's largest range of square hollow steel sections ranging from 150X150mm to 300x300mm in size. Column tubes are suitable construction material for infrastructure, commercial as well as residential projects.

Apollo Column is the heart of Pre-Engineered Building (PEB) with its high weight bearing capacity and enhanced construction speed. Superior quality, sturdiness, and ease of bending, punching and drilling makes APL Apollo the perfect choice for every construction.

PEB has seen tremendous growth in the last decade over the conventional steel building. Currently PEB manufacturers are using built-up sections manufactured by welded plates.
