At Kirby Southeast Asia, one of the key advantages of Pre-Engineered Buildings lies in the use of built-up tapered steel sections – a smarter, more efficient alternative to conventional hot-rolled sections.
In PEB design, built-up members are formed by welding steel plates into an I-section whose depth can be varied along the span. This allows engineers to place material exactly where strength is needed, resulting in a lighter yet stronger structure.
Why Built-Up Sections Matter
- Optimized material usage – thicker where the bending moment is highest, slimmer where it’s lower.
- Longer, cost-effective spans – ideal for warehouses, factories, logistics hubs.
- Lighter overall weight – reduces foundation loads and saves construction costs.
- Higher design flexibility – tapered profiles adapt to architectural and functional needs.
This is one of the core engineering principles that makes PEBs both economical and high-performance.
Kirby continues to deliver solutions that balance strength, efficiency, and value for every project.
