 ABSTRACT
Industrial and commercial exposure is an important part of a student’s journey to witness firsthand how
theory and practical are related. It is therefore necessary that students interact with and learn from
people working in the construction sector. This report describes my experience as an intern at Banu
Mukhtar Steel (Pvt.) Ltd. Learning under the supervision of qualified experts has been extremely valuable
in my journey as a student. Banu Mukhtar Steel mainly deals with Pre-Engineered Steel buildings which is
an emerging field in Pakistan. Concrete structures become uneconomical for structures with larger spans
and larger heights therefore the concept of Pre-Engineered Buildings was used which not only reduced
the cost of constructing structures with larger spans but also reduced the construction time period as the
buildings were designed and made in factories and assembled on site. Further the amount of steel was
reduced by designing an optimized building whose cross sections of buildings are according to force
requirements of the sections. This report explains the history and hierarchy of the company and further
explains the concept of Pre-Engineered Buildings in the light of knowledge gained by working under
qualified experts and visiting different construction sites. The positive and negative aspects of the
internship and recommendations for both the organization and FAST-NU Civil Engineering Department
has been explained.

1 ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE
1.1 History and Founders:
Banu Mukhtar owes its name to late Sheikh Mukhtar Ahmad who migrated from India in 1947 and
got settled in Montgomery ( now Sahiwal). He left behind five renowned sons namely Izhar Ahmad,
Dr. Israr Ahmad, Iqtedar Ahmad, Vaqar Ahmad and Dr. Absar Ahmad. Ever since 1960, construction
and production of Pre-cast Concrete Products was a family business. Izhar (Pvt) Ltd. (Now Banu
Mukhtar Contracting (Pvt.) Limited after change of name in 2012), the ace Company of Banu-
Mukhtar, was founded in 1964 by Sheikh Mukhtar Ahmad’s eldest son Mr. Izhar Ahmed who was a
Civil Engineer by profession. After a split in the family business in 1977, Mr. Iqtedar Ahmad, who
was previously managing another company doing similar business, took charge of Banu Mukhtar
Contracting (Pvt.) Limited independently and remained the chief executive of the company till 1983
at which time he handed over the charge to his eldest son Engr. M. S. Asad Mukhtar and adopted an
advisory role for himself. Since 1983 Mr. M. S. Asad Mukhtar is the Chief Executive of the Company
and Chairman of the Group working under the banner of Banu-Mukhtar. Elder son of Mr. Asad
Mukhtar, Umar Asad Mukhtar, joined Banu Mukhtar as director in 2008 and since then he is taking
charge of the baton from his father and is now leading the re-alignment of organizational structure
and business models. Starting from a very small family construction business, under the leadership
and management of M. S. Asad Mukhtar, Banu Mukhtar Contracting (Pvt. Ltd. has evolved into a
big name in construction and contracting industry of Pakistan with its sister companies, notably Banu
Mukhtar Products (Pvt.) Limited which is engaged in production and supply of a large range of
Precast Concrete Products with area offices and plants spreading all over the country and Banu
Mukhtar Steel (Pvt.) Ltd which is manufacturing Pre Engineered Steel Buildings and involved in
Mechanical Fabrication works. [2]

2.3 Basics of Pre-Engineered Buildings:
Pre Engineered Buildings:
Pre-engineered buildings are basically structural members, made of steel, like columns, roof truss,
purlins etc. They are pre-fabricated in a factory in accordance with the design specifications and
they are erected in the site, joined together using nuts and bolts. The prefabricated structural
members are usually built-up “I” shaped sections primary structural framing members (columns
and rafters), Cold-formed “Z” and “C” shaped secondary structural members (roof purlin, eave
struts and wall girts), Roll formed profiled sheeting (roof and wall panels). The foundations of
these buildings are the conventional concrete foundations to support the lighter super structure and
to carry heavy loads. The floor of such buildings is also built of conventional concrete in certain
cases.

Figure 2 - Pre-Engineered Building Concept

Steps involved in Construction of a PEB:

i. Design of PEB Structure: Steel frames to be used in a particular structure is extensively
designed and fabricated. Design involves use of software giving no room for any error.
ii. Construction of Foundation: Usually shallow isolated foundations are preferred for a
PEB since the self-weight of the super structure is very less.
iii. Erection of Steel Frames: The steel columns and beams are bolted together
iv. Construction of Walls on All Sides: The final step in construction of a PEB is building
the walls. Usually for a PEB the walls are built with different range of materials, generally
insulated steel panels are preferred because of their structural stability.

Advantages and Disadvantages of PEB
Table 3 - Advantages and Disavdantages of PEBs

Advantages Disadvantages
Reduced Construction time: When the Susceptible to Corrosion: If not properly
foundation is being built in site, the structural maintained the steel frames are susceptible to
members are simultaneously fabricated in corrosion, thus special coatings becomes
industries. Since the erection time is also less it necessary to resist the corrosion of steel
results in the early completion of the structure
Less Manpower at Site: Most of the work in a Low Thermal Resistivity: Steel being a metal
PEB construction is done in the industries thus is good at conducting heat, thus it reduces the
the requirement of manpower at the site is very thermal comfort in the building.
less comparatively
Reduction in Cost: Since both materials and Low Fire Resistance: During fire, this type of
manpower is minimized the overall cost of building becomes more susceptible to damage
construction is reduced due its conductivity.
Flexibility in Design: The steel structural
members are designed in software and is
fabricated with machines, thus desired shape
can be achieved without any compromise.
Hence the PEB can be architecturally versatile
Scope for Future Expansion: Since bolted
connections are only used, the length wise
expansion in a PEB becomes more evident
Low Maintenance: Modern metal finishes and
coatings will help the steel panels to resist
corrosion, chemical attack etc., and also the
steel surfaces can be easily repaired if
damaged.
Seismic Resistance: The super structure made
of steel is light in weight and flexible enough
to offer greater resistance to seismic waves
when compared to conventional concrete
structures

2.4 Site Visit Report (IRC Dairy and Gulbahar)
Introduction
Pre-engineered buildings are basically structural members, made of steel, like columns,
roof truss, purlins etc. They are pre-fabricated in a factory in accordance with the design
specifications and they are erected in the site, joined together using nuts and bolts. The
prefabricated structural members are usually built-up “I” shaped sections primary structural
framing members (columns and rafters), Cold-formed “Z” and “C” shaped secondary structural
members (roof purlin, eave struts and wall girts), cold formed profiled sheeting (roof and wall
panels). The foundations of these buildings are the conventional concrete foundations to support
the lighter super structure and to carry heavy loads. The floor of such buildings is also built of
conventional concrete in certain cases. Pre-Engineered Buildings are generally used in places
where longer spans are required as concrete structures become un-economical at larger spans. [4]
Site visits and reconnaissance is an important part of construction. Site are visits are done
before, during and after the construction. Site inspection is done before the construction in order
to extensively study the site and establishing actual and potential hazards for design and
construction. Banu Mukhtar is constructing Pre-Engineered Buildings for IRC and Gulbahar at
Faisalabad Industrial City, Faisalabad. Site visit was done on 16th August, 2020 for both sites and
observations about the structural aspects and components of Pre-Engineered Buildings were made.
Moreover confusions regarding the construction and placement of PEB were cleared under the
guidance of our supervisor Mr. Mahid Javaid. This report explains the terminologies and
components of Pre-Engineered Buildings that were observed on site in the light of knowledge
gained Pre-Hand.

Site Description
IRC dairy products
The site proposed for the construction of the Plant of IRC Dairy Products Private Limited
is located at Faisalabad Industrial City, Faisalabad (Site coordinates: 31°38'22.7"N 73°12'08.3"E)
[1]. The soil of the area was found to be mostly silt and clay. The average water table depth was
found to be 15ft, as the water table is high so a light weight structure is proposed. The construction
was in its final stages, with finishing in some parts and installation of machinery in some buildings
going on. A picture of the seismic map is attached with shows that the site is located in an area
with moderate level of seismic activity, the zone in which the site is located is 2A, with
magnitudes of Earth Quakes ranging from 2.9-5.0 on the rector scale.

Figure 4 - IRC Dairy Location & Seismic Zone Map

Gulbahar bottling Project:

The proposed site for the construction of Gulbahar Bottling Project is located at Faisalabad
Industrial City, Faisalabad (Site coordinates: 31°39'22.1"N 73°12'37.7"E) [1] . The construction
on site is in process with the frame structure erected and flooring and cladding yet to be done. The
RCC construction is in process alongside the PBE construction. The soil of the area was found to
be mostly silt and clay. The average water table depth was found to be 15ft, as the water table is
high so a light weight structure is proposed. A picture of the seismic map is attached with shows
that the site is located in an area with moderate level of seismic activity, the zone in which
the site is located is 2A, with magnitudes of Earth Quakes ranging from 2.9-5.0 on the rector
scale.

Figure 5 - Gulbahar Bottling Location & Seismic Zone Map

Observations and Learning:
Foundation:
The foundation generally used in PEB construction is shallow isolated foundation, as the structure
light weight but in case of soils with low bearing capacity deep foundation such as pile foundation
is used. [4] As both the sites were located in close proximity the bearing capacity of the soils was
more or less same and it was observed at both sites that shallow isolated footing was used. Figure
1 shows columns resting on an isolated footing located at the site for Gulbahar Bottling Project.
Figure 2 shows fixed base column resting on isolated footing at IRC Dairy Plant.

Figure 6 - Columns resting on foundations at Gulbahar Bottling Plant & Column resting on foundation at IRC Dairy Plant

Support condition:
Fixed foundation are able to transfer moment to the ground from the structure where as in case of
pin foundations the moment is not transferred to the ground. According to load and the weight and
condition of the frame the appropriate foundation type is selected. At the IRC Dairy production
plant the support condition of the column was fixed support, and at the Gulbahar Plant the support
condition of the columns was pin support. To change the condition of the support the geometry
and placement of the connections of the bolts is changed. In case of pin support connections, in
the form of bolts, are closer to each other i.e. the distance between the bolts is lesser in case of pin
connections and the pins are located near the center of the column on the other hand in case of
fixed supports more bolts are used to connect the column to the footing and bolts are used on the
outer side of the column so that all moment from the structure can be effectively transferred to the
foundation without damaging the structure. Generally for columns with uniform geometry fixed
support condition is preferred whereas for tapered columns pin support condition is preferred.

Figure 7 - Column with Pin Support & Column with fixed support

11
Columns and Rafters:
Columns are the members that take up load axially and transmit the load to the foundations whereas
rafters are the members that transfer the loads of the roof and other loads to the columns. The
columns used at IRC Dairy Plant were of uniform cross section and I shaped on the other hand the
columns used at Gulbahar Bottling Plant were tapered columns. Tapered columns are generally
the ones which are designed according to the stresses at the respective places i.e. the cross section
of the column is smaller at places where the stresses are lesser. [4] The rafters that were used at
both the sites were tapered.

Figure 8 - Rafters at Gulbahar Bottling Plant Figure 9 - Rafters at IRC Dairy Plan

12
Bracing:
Bracing is done to support the structure in a lateral direction or to brace the column against its
weak axis against forces. Usually bracing is done to cater wind loads. The bracings that were used
in the in the IRC Dairy Plant/Gulbahar plant were:
i. Cross Bracing
ii. Portal frames
iii. Struts.
Portal bracing are usually used in places where there is a need for space for the movement of
machinery etc. On site pictures of the bracing systems are shown below.

Cross bracing
Struts

Portal Frame

Figure 12 - IRC Dairy Plant Gulbahar Bottling Plant

Girts and sag rod

Girts are the horizontal members that are attached to the columns and are used to support wall
panels. Sag rods are attached to girts in order to provide them sport and stability so that they might
not sag or bend due to loads.

Figure 13 - Sag rods and girts

13
Flange bracing:
Flange bracing is an angle member extending between girts or purlins to the inner flange of
columns or rafters respectively, to provide them with lateral support and stability. Flange braces
are an important part of the structure as they minimize the chances of bending of the flanges due
to lateral forces. At both the sites flange braces were provided at both columns and rafters to ensure
that the inner flanges of the columns or rafters are stable. The pictures below shows the flange
braces provided at the site.

Flange bracing

Figure 14 - IRC Dairy Plant Gulbahar Bottling Plant

Skylight:
Skylight is a translucent panel used at the roof to transmit natural light. It is usually made of
fiberglass. Multiple skylights were used at both sites according to the requirement. The picture
below shows skylights at Gulbahar Bottling Plant.

Figure 15 - Skylight at Gulbahar Bottling Plant

14
Roof Transition:
Roof transition is also known as step in eave height is a condition in which lower building
is attached to a higher building at the end walls which results in one building having different eave
heights at each end. At the IRC Dairy Plant a roof transition was made, as heavy machinery had
to be placed in the corner of the building, the height of the machinery might be high that is why
the part of the building was higher than rest of the building. The picture below shows the roof
transition at IRC Dairy Plant.

3 OUTCOMES OF THE INTERNSHIP PROGRAM
3.1 Experience and learning:
This internship program has provided me an opportunity to experience the corporate culture, which
has been extremely beneficial to me in increasing my knowledge as well as enhancing my skills
by observing how the corporate culture works and how the actual process of construction occurs.
Pre-Engineered Steel Building construction is relatively new in Pakistan and is not taught in the
four year bachelor’s degree program, and learning about PEBs has helped me develop interest in
this field of Pre-Fabricated Buildings which most of the students at my university are oblivious to.
The strongest point of this internship program, which I liked the most, was that this field is
relatively new and the construction is hackle free and the construction time is relatively short, also
these sort of buildings have low carbon foot print and are ecofriendly as compared to conventional
RCC construction which not only has a greater carbon foot print but also they take a lot of time to
construct. The weak point of this internship program was that there was less time spent on teaching
the design of the PEBs which is an integral part of the construction.

3.2 Recommendations:
The overall experience of the internship was good. The time given to us was satisfactory and the
mode of learning was excellent. Learning the theory and experiencing how the work is done and
what is the final product on site was an excellent mode of learning which creates an image in the
mind of the student that is important for the understanding. FAST-NU Civil Engineering
Department should arrange site visits for students and provide them with an opportunity to interact
with professionals so they can develop a clear image of how the actual construction is done and
what are the market needs and trends and how the theory is connected with the practical work.
