MANUFACTURING PLANTS

1.Automobile & heavy vehicle plants

These buildings require wide clear spans to accommodate assembly lines, cranes, and equipment.

PEB (Pre-Engineered Buildings) are ideal since they offer large column-free areas for smooth vehicle movement.

The structure often includes production zones, paint shops, testing bays, and dispatch areas.
Examples:

Car and truck manufacturing units

Bus body building units

Tractor and heavy machinery plants

2.Shipbuilding yards

They are located near water bodies for easy launching and docking.

Structures are typically long and wide with high clearance for cranes and large hulls.

PEB structures are used for workshops, fabrication sheds, and assembly halls.

Examples:

Cargo ship manufacturing units

Boat and yacht fabrication sheds

Marine engine assembly workshops

3.Aerospace & aircraft manufacturing units

They require large clear spans to accommodate wings, fuselage sections, and entire aircraft.

High-precision assembly and controlled environments are crucial.

PEB structures are preferred due to their flexibility and speed of erection.

Examples:

Aircraft assembly hangars

Component manufacturing units (engines, fuselage)

Maintenance and testing centers

4.Machinery & equipment factories

The buildings need heavy load-bearing capacity for equipment and cranes.

PEB structures allow for easy layout modification and equipment installation.

Examples:

Textile machinery manufacturing

Construction equipment plants

Power tool and pump manufacturing

5.Cement plants

The buildings house crushers, kilns, silos, conveyors, and packing units.

PEB structures are used for storage sheds, packing units, and workshops, even though the core processing area may be RCC.

Examples:

Cement grinding units

Packing and dispatch buildings

Raw material storage sheds
