Feature | Pre-Engineered Steel Buildings |
Design Criteria | AISC, MBMA, AWS |
Structural Base Material | All primary & secondary steel used by Mammut Building System
has minimum yield strength of 50 KSI (345 N/mm2). |
Foundation | Simple design easy to construct and light weight |
Delivery | Average 6 to 8 weeks. |
Sourcing & Coordination | Building is supplied complete withCladding and all accessories,
including erection if required, all from one source of supply. |
Structure Weight | About 30% lighter through the-efficient use of steel. Primary
framing members are (varying depth) tapered built-up plate sections
with large depths in the areas of highest stress. Secondary members
are light gage (light weight) cold formed (low labor
cost) “Z” - or“C” shaped members.Z purlins / girts
can be lapped. Lapping reduces the deflection, and allows double
thickness at the points of higher stresses (support points). |
Design | Quick and efficient since standardization of P.E.B. has
significantly reduced design time. Basic designs are used over and
over. Specialized computer analysis and design programs reduce
design time and optimize material required. Drafting is also
computerized with minimal manual drawings. Design, detail drawings
and erection drawings are supplied free of charge by the
manufacturer. Approval drawings may be prepared within 10 days to 3
weeks. Consultant in-house design and drafting time is
significantly reduced, allowing more time for coordination and
review, and increasing margins in design fees. Since most of the
PEB are pin-based, the cost is reduced due to smaller sections at
the base with smaller base plates and foundations (in absence of
moments). |
AccessoriesWindows, Doors,Ventilation etc. | Designed to fit the system, with standardized, interchangeable
parts, including pre-designed flashing and trims. Mass produced for
economy. All available with the building. |
Erection | Easy, fast, step by step. Erection costs & time are accurately
known, based upon extensive experience with similar buildings. |
Architecture | Outstanding architectural design at low cost. Conventional wall,
and fascia materials, such a concrete, masonry and wood, can be
utilized. |
Overall Price | Price per square meter may be as much as 40% lower than
conventional steel. |
Changes | Very flexible, tailor made, accepts changes and revisions easily.
Future expansion is simple, easy and cost effective. One supplier
to co-ordinate changes. |
Performance | All components have been specified and designed specifically to act
together as a system, for maximum efficiency, precise fit up, and
performance in the field conditions world wide has resulted in
design improvements over time which allow dependable prediction of
performance. |
Responsibility | Single source of supply results in total responsibility for one
supplier, including design liability. |
