PRE-ENGINEERED STEEL BUILDINGS – CONSTRUCTION TREND IN 2023
Pre-engineered steel buildings are increasingly popular in Vietnam due to their outstanding advantages in fast construction and cost-effectiveness. Let’s learn more about this smart construction method.
1. What is Pre-Engineered Steel Buildings ?
A pre-engineered steel building is a structure designed and manufactured in a factory, with steel components, and then transported and assembled on-site. Pre-engineered buildings have the advantages of saving construction time, cost, and high aesthetic appeal.
The process of pre-engineered building construction consists of three stages: Design – Manufacturing – Installation. In the design phase, engineers create detailed technical drawings for each part of the building. The manufacturing stage involves fabricating steel components according to the design specifications at the factory. Finally, these components are transported and assembled into a complete structure on-site.
In this way, pre-engineered buildings save time and costs while ensuring aesthetics and construction quality. This is a trend favored by many investors.
1.1. Advantages of Prefabricated Steel Buildings
- Quick construction, time-saving.
- Consistent quality due to mass production.
- Cost-effective and efficient.
- Can be relocated and reassembled in another location.
1.2. Where Are Prefabricated Steel Buildings Suitable?
- Warehouses, factories, workshops
- Offices, stores, hotels, restaurants
- Schools, hospitals, dormitories
- Residential houses, villas, apartments
- Stadiums, outdoor stages
In general, most civil and industrial construction projects can apply this construction technology.
2. Structure of Pre-Engineered Steel Buildings
It consists of three main components:
- Frame Structure: A combination of steel columns, beams, and trusses
- Secondary Structural System: Purlins (Z, C, and U purlins), roof bracing, wall studs, wall girts, and other structural elements.
- Cladding and Accessories: Roofing sheets, wall panels, and additional accessories.
Furthermore, to meet the specific needs of the owner or customer, prefabricated buildings can integrate additional structures such as:
- Mezzanine floors, crane beams (for supporting crane systems), bracing systems, and walkways.
- Various accessories: canopies, extensions, flashings, downspouts, ridge caps, ventilation systems, and cable bracing.
3. Design and Production Process of Pre-Engineered Steel Buildings
3.1. Prefabricated Steel Buildings Design Process
- Step 1: Receiving Architectural Drawings from the Customer
When a customer intends to construct a building, Trí Việt Steel will receive the architectural drawings for the project. - Step 2: Calculation and Detailed Cost Estimation
Based on the drawings, a meticulous calculation is performed to create a detailed cost estimate, including materials, labor, production, and installation costs. - Step 3: Contract Signing with the Customer
After the customer approves the cost estimate, both parties sign a contract to finalize the scope of work. - Step 4: Design and Construction Drawing Preparation
Tri Viet Steel will prepare detailed construction drawings to guide the construction and installation processes. - Step 5: Detailed Production Drawing Design
Detailed production drawings are designed as a basis for manufacturing prefabricated steel components. - Step 6: Installation Drawing Design
Installation drawings provide detailed instructions for assembling the steel components into a complete structure.
In this way, the production process for prefabricated steel structures involves six meticulous steps, from design to production and construction, all requiring precision and accuracy.
3.2. Prefabricated Steel Buildings Structure Production Process
- Step 1: Material Selection
The input materials are various types of steel sections and steel coils. It is essential to choose high-quality steel that meets the standards.
- Step 2: Cutting Steel into Small Parts
The steel is cut into individual bars or sheets of appropriate dimensions for component fabrication.
- Step 3: Shaping Components
After cutting, the steel parts are bent and shaped to form components such as beams, columns, and trusses.
- Step 4: Welding Components into Structures
Once the components are shaped, they are welded together to form complete structures.
- Step 5: Aligning and Adjusting Structures
Inspecting and adjusting the shape of the structures to ensure accuracy.
- Step 6: Welding for Surface Finishing
Re-welding joints to achieve a smooth surface finish on the components.
- Step 7: Grinding and Surface Shot Blasting
Grinding to smooth the surface, removing any rough edges or welding marks. Shot blasting to enhance shine and durability.
- Step 8: Surface Coating
Applying a surface coating and paint to the components to improve corrosion resistance and aesthetic appeal.
- Step 9: Packaging and Transportation
The completed components are carefully packaged and transported to the construction site.
The Pre-engineered Steel Buildings component production process ensures quality at each step to deliver a perfect end product.
3.3. Prefabricated Steel Buildings Construction Process
- Step 1: Site Preparation
– Level the ground, prepare the foundation
– Install underground drainage systems
– Pour concrete for the floor
- Step 2: Erection of Steel Frame Structure
– Transport steel components to the construction site
– Assemble columns, beams, and connect joints using bolts
– Install trusses, purlins, and roof bracing
- Step 3: Roof Installation
– Attach roofing materials such as color steel sheets, cold-formed steel, or panels to the steel frame
– Set up a rainwater drainage system, gutters, and downspouts
- Step 4: Completion
– Construct interior partitions if necessary
– Install entrance doors, windows, and staircases (if applicable)
– Finish the flooring
– Install electrical and lighting systems
