| Advantages of Pre Engineered Building for Multilevel Process Building:
|
|
|
| Multilevel Process Structure demands the use of heavy and durable yet strong materials. Steel, by virtue of its high strength to weight ratio, enables large spans and lightweight construction. Taller buildings also face higher wind loads, and hence steel being flexible, allows the building to move and deflect with the wind forces, rather than making it rigid like concrete.

| Interarch Multi-storey steel buildings have unmatched benefits like: |

Mr. Anshul Shah has been associated with the company since last 2 years as a Director in the firm. He graduates from CEPT University and finished his Masters from the University of Florida. He feels in the long term, the trajectory of industrial development has a huge potential due to the creation of world-class infrastructure, building a healthy business ecosystem, connectivity and new Greenfield smart cities as global manufacturing hubs.
Mr. Shah feels that a Greenfield facility has its own set of challenges in terms of the design process that needs to be followed. The best practice that one should follow while designing a master layout of the Greenfield facilities project is to go from whole to part. Understand the ground levels, strata along with current and future requirements is a must. The design shall be optimized not only in terms of cost that will go in today but also the lifecycle cost.
Mr. Shah feels that Functionality is the key feature of the building. A customized design must consider energy efficient components to maximize the daylight and minimize the heat gain in the building. On focusing wide acceptability and functional advantages of Pre Engineered building, it can be widely used for application such as factories, warehouses, showrooms, simple roof structure, Tall Building, etc.
As per him in today’s time, the architect should weigh out the design of the building in accordance to the IGBC norms by considering parameters like Material, water, and energy conservation along with site selection, planning, construction methods, innovation, indoor environment quality and present the pros and cons to the client.
As per him, the advantages of using Steel buildings are that it provides an opportunity to have larger spans, more height, less dead weight and speed of execution.
He believes that more emphasis must be given to fire protection rating. There are options like Intumescent fire protection paint. There are other provisions that can be made in terms fire protection such as sprinklers, internal hydrants, smoke and heat detectors, fire doors, fire exits, a separate tank for fire, the external fire hydrant system, 4-way fire brigade point.
