Conserve energy by using Insulations in Pre-Engineered Buildings
   
Insulation material is attached or placed within walls or roof to prevent the loss of heat from the building. Insulation material are used to keep the building cool when it’s warm outside and warm when it’s cool outside.

Insulation also helps to reduce the amount of noise that enters or escapes from the insulated area and reduces rain induced noise from the metal roof.

The effectiveness of an insulating material is measured using a 'U-value'. A U-value is a measure of how much heat is conducted through a structure. Correctly installed insulation will have a low U-value as it will allow only small amounts of heat to pass through.
Benefits
Wall and Roof insulation makes it easier to heat and cool the space and save money on power bills
Also, depending on the type of insulation used, there may also be a significant reduction in noise within the space, since many types of wall insulation have acoustical properties.
By insulating one can even reduce the emission of harmful gasses in air. Thus reducing toxic vapour inside the building
Insulation recommend by Interarch Building Products
Glass wool (fiberglass)
Made from melted glass spun into a flexible mat of fine fibers
Available in low densities and roll form with the reflective vapor barrier for convenient installation under metal roofs
Excellent Compressibility
Rock wool
Made from mineral rock melted at high temperatures and spun into a mat of fine fibers.
Available in higher densities
Suitable for double skin roofing or roofing requiring walkable insulation

Other characteristics are similar to glass wool. Glass wool and rock wool are together referred to as ‘mineral wool’ products. Due to their potential to irritate the skin and the upper respiratory tract, full protective clothing, including gloves and a face mask, should be worn during installation.

Industry Spokesperson: Evolution of Pre-Engineered Buildings in India, by Mr. S.K. Nandi
   
Er. S.K. Nandi has over 40 years of extensive experience in the infrastructure and construction Industry. He is one of the pillars at C.P Kukreja Architects and has a very long association with the firm, currently working as a partner.

Er. S.K. Nandi is B. Tech Civil, Engineering, Graduate from Calcutta University and Master in Structural Engineering from University of Bradford, United Kingdom. He is also a fellow and chartered engineer from the Institution of Structural Engineers, U.K. As a designer Mr. Nandi has been involved in several large landmark industrial projects for major national and international clients in different parts of the country. Drawing upon his four decade of experience, he feels foremost importance should be given to design parameters for a modern industrial project starting from site selection, to functional requirements, material selection, construction techniques and cost & time factors has to be considered. He feels, Pre-Engineered Buildings construction in recent years has developed into an important design philosophy and construction system for industrial projects in India

As per Mr. Nandi, the time has come for Multi-Storey Steel Buildings with metal deck and fire protection in India. According to him, with depleting natural resources and continuous pressure on environment, it has become imperative for architects these days to adopt green building concept. He has executed many renowned projects in India in Pre-Engineered Steel industry and has contributed in projects like Tata Motors Ltd, Lucknow, Perto India Pvt Ltd, Jaipur, JNU University, Sir Ganga Ram Hospital, Gautam Buddha University and many more.

Er. Nandi has share his view regarding evolution of steel structure in India. However, the evolution of PEB construction has an interesting historical context. After the Second World War, there was severe scarcity of food grains in erstwhile Great Britain. It was necessary to build warehouses to store the food grains. The British Government invited industrialists, builders to develop large warehouses quickly with new building materials. One company responded to this invitation and prefabricated the building components in large portal frames in structural steel offsite which could be quickly transported and erected at site to the requirement of the warehouses. This prefabricated construction system was approved and adopted by the British government to build large warehouses.

This was the beginning of Pre-Engineered Buildings or Pre Engineered Building Construction. In the sixties & seventies western expatriates, flocked to Middle Eastern countries for development of oil fields, The region was totally undeveloped and the food item including bread & butter ,consumer goods needed by the large expat communities were imported on daily basis by plane loads and had to be stored in enclosed built up spaces such as warehouses. To meet this urgent demand, PEB construction came to the Middle Eastern countries. The PEB construction got saturated after construction of thousands of inland, and port warehouses all over Middle East. The senior managers who were managing the Pre-Engineered Buildings companies in the Middle East were mostly Indians. Once, the construction of these buildings got saturated in that area; the same executives moved to India and started the Pre-Engineered Building construction here

This is how Pre Engineered companies sets-up in India in the early ninety’s. This was the period when India was also going through an industrial boom. Small and big industrial units were being built all over the country. Having built a few hundred warehouses, the Indian PEB companies saw this as an opportunity to introduce the Pre-Engineered Building model in industrial building construction .
 
Project Management Tip: Guidelines before Starting Tracdek Roof & Wall Sheet Installation
   
1. Review of sheeting installation drawings before starting the Tracdek Roof & Wall Sheet Installation
Read the Tracdek Roof Sheet installation drawing thoroughly, Issued by engineering department
Arrange and review all the section details given in the detailed drawing
   
2. Following details must review carefully before starting the work
Tracdek Roof Sheet projection on eave and hip (ridge) location
Tracdek Roof Sheet overlap & end lap details
Day Light Panel fixing details
Turbo vent fixing details
Ridge ventilator fixing method and sequencing
Trims and gutter fixing details
Crimp curve panels fixing details on ridge, eave, monitor and canopy location.
   
3. Structure inspection
Check & ensure purlin and Girt level and its alignment, before starting the Tracdek Roof & Wall Sheet Installation
Check & ensure the proper rafter end wall column alignment and straighten with plumb on gable end location
Strut purlin and ridge purlin should be aligned before starting the Tracdek Roof & Wall Sheet Installation
Check the diagonal on Tracdek Roof Sheet area
Check and ensure the openings for Gravents, turbovents , light weight structured monitors and cut outs/opening through the roof
Purlins & frames should be aligned before starting the Tracdek Roof & Wall Sheet Installation {Field drill if any, should be performed before starting the Tracdek Roof & Wall Sheet Installation}
