Indian massive construction sector must increase the use of structural steel to accelerate the development of commercial and residential complexes while retaining the indigenous cultural appearances, renowned architects have said here. The construction sector should consider using pre-engineered steel components in accelerating development process in new buildings.

use of steel structure in Indian construction sector


A shift from the concrete based conventional method of constructing buildings to steel structures will half the completion time to two years. The increasing use of steel, which is at the lowest price level currently, would also help reduce construction cost. Steel is a very cost-effective material to use in construction. Being highly durable, steel structures design can be cost-effective for earthquake resistance when compared to concrete structures. Steel structures weigh lesser and structurally efficient than concrete hence steel-structured buildings are lighter and have smaller foundations.

Compare to other building materials such as concrete, establishing a steel structure creates less noise, dust and waste at a worksite and it is easy to maintain. Steel can be continuously recycled and repurposed without compromising its quality. This makes steel compatible with long-term sustainable development.

The Effectiveness of Pre-Engineered Steel Buildings

The Effectiveness of Pre-Engineered Steel Buildings | Orientelpeb Pre-engineered buildings are factory-built buildings of steel that are shipped to the site and bolted together. What differences them from other buildings is that the contractor also designs the building - called design & build. This style of construction is ideally suited to industrial buildings and warehouses; and it is cheap, very fast to erect, and can also be deconstructed and moved to another site - more on that later. These structures are also called 'metal boxes' or 'tin sheds' by laymen - they are essentially rectangular boxes enclosed in a skin of corrugated metal sheeting.
