The construction landscape is evolving, with PEBs emerging as a game-changer in infrastructure development. To address the industry’s pressing challenges and explore innovative solutions, Everest Steel Building Solutions hosted Everest Connect in Hyderabad.
Co-powered by AM/NS India and Tata BlueScope Steel, the event provided a platform for industry experts to deliberate on the topic: Resolving Design Challenges & Embracing Cutting-edge Advancements in Pre-Engineered Buildings. The panel discussion featured professionals, including:
– E. Suresh Raj from Tata BlueScope Steel
– V. Sridhar Reddy from Sri Harsha Consulting Engineers Pvt Ltd
– VVSK Raju from NCC Ltd
– Satyanarayana Illindra from Satya Illindra Engineers
– Suneel Voditel from Techture Structures Pvt Ltd
– Mahendrakumar Madhavan from IIT Hyderabad
The discussion provided deep insight into overcoming design bottlenecks and leveraging advanced methodologies in PEB construction. Here are the key takeaways from the session:
One of the key discussion points was the need for a standardised specification document to ensure alignment between clients, consultants, and PEB vendors on warehouse size, height, shutter placements, fire safety, and exit requirements. The challenges of EPC contracts were also highlighted, as they often lack detailed design standards, leading to execution conflicts. Procurement complexities due to vendor variations underscored the importance of consistency in materials and costs.
The role of consultants in defining structural requirements was emphasised, along with the value of a Design Basis Report (DBR) for government projects. Steel emerged as the preferred choice for large-span structures due to its strength, sustainability, and rapid construction.
Everest Connect Hyderabad successfully brought together industry leaders to deliberate on the future of PEBs in India. The discussion underscored the importance of standardised design practices, strategic procurement, and innovative engineering solutions in shaping the next phase of the industry.
By fostering such industry dialogues, Everest Steel Building Solutions reaffirms its commitment to advancing the PEB sector with quality, trust, and timely delivery.
