ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF PRE-ENGINEERED BUILDINGS

The trend of building pre-engineered buildings is today’s optimal solution for construction works. Besides the outstanding advantages, pre-engineered buildings also have disadvantages that need to be noted. In this article, Triviet Steel Buildings will share and analyze the advantages and disadvantages of pre-engineered buildings and solutions to overcome them.

Outstanding advantages of pre-engineered buildings

1. Quality guarantee and fast construction time

The constructions made from pre-engineered buildings have faster construction time than other types of construction. Because most of the steel structure components are manufactured and processed at the factory. Based on exact specifications on technical design drawings. Then it is transported to the construction site and carried out construction and erection.

2. Reduces cost

Here is the most advantage that constructors choose pre-engineered buildings. Because constructions cost or labor costs can save than traditional solution.

3. Flexible design, convenience according to to require of each project

the flexibility of steel structure, pre-engineered buildings can apply for a variety of different construction applications. Easy to respond to different functions and shape that customers require.

Pre-engineered buildings can combine with many materials: wood, glass, concrete…Ensure the aesthetic of the project after completion.

4. Convenient in renovation and repair

Easy to upgrade and expand according to the needs of users. Easy to upgrade and expand according to user needs. And mobility in transportation and assembly is a plus of pre-engineered steel buildings

5. Steady steel material

Because steel structures can resistant to mold and mildew. Resistant to all weather conditions, durable over time.

Disadvantages of pre-engineered buildings and solutions to overcome them.

1. Low flame resistance

The pre-engineered buildings structure has good bearing capacity and is durable over time, but has poor high-temperature resistance. The degree of heat resistance of steel is in the range of 500-600 degrees Celsius. If there is a fire, the temperature rises above the above level, and the structure of the pre-engineered steel building will be deformed leading to the collapse of the work. However, this can be fixed. Extend the heat resistance time of steel by 4-6 hours for the timely extinguishing of the fire:

• Using fireproof paint for pre-engineered buildings: This method will protect the steel structure with a layer of paint that expands (intumescent). This paint will swell when exposed to high temperatures, creating an air layer between the steel and the high temperature outside. Helps protect the shape and details of steel structures.
• Spraying fireproof foam: however, this method does not keep the aesthetics and encounters limiting factors. Must be sprayed at the construction site, not meeting the requirements of hazardous substance safety.
• Wrap specialized fireproof panels around steel structures.

2. Oxidized, corroded in hot and humid conditions

In areas where the environment is rich in sea salt, acid, and steel, it is easy to corrode, causing phenomena such as rust and oxidation. This disadvantage is not ominous because now the steel structures are painted with many layers to prevent corrosion and rust. Helping buildings made from pre-engineered buildings can be sustainable for up to 50 years.
