LGS system makes structures made of coal form steel sections also known as light gauge sections or

cold rolled steel sections LG s is one of the technologies which has very high potential for low-rise
buildings up to G plus 3 storey height for mass building under pradhan mantri Ava's Eugenia urban
and pradhan mantri Ava's Eugenia Grameen in different parts of the country especially in difficult
terrain including hilly areas where transportation of heavy materials is a problem BM TPC is mandated
to identify evaluate and promote emerging construction systems suiting two different geo climatic
conditions of the country which are safe sustainable environment friendly and ensure faster delivery of
quality houses Government of India has authorized BM TPC to certify such new systems through
performance appraisal certification scheme 16 such new systems have been evaluated and certified
so far which can be broadly classified as engineered formwork systems precast sandwich panel
systems or chrome steel and coal form light gauge steel Mystikal systems and precast concrete
construction systems light gauge steel sections are formed in gold state from galvanized steel
sections of thickness usually ranging from 1 mm to 3 mm galvanizing of the performed coil provides
satisfactory protection against corrosion in extreme environments it is a well-established technology
for residential construction in North America Australia and Japan and is now gaining ground in India
because of its versatility and suitability for range of lighter load bearing applications light case the
framing system is a complete rival system which eliminates net worth it gives a huge reduction in
construction time LCFS apart from the new constriction is also suitable for extension of existing
building lightly the seal framing system is very well suited for hive engine area as well as the system is
based on erection of a base structure by assembly a factory made goal formed galvanized light gauge
steel sections and subsequently fixing of paneling materials to form balls and floss with and without
insulating materials once design a spur relevant indent is 8:01 or international codes vs five nine five
zero the required sections of studs see sections with knockouts dimpling x' slots service codes etc as
vertical members and u-shaped racks as horizontal members are cold formed in centrally numerical
control cnc automatic clinical role forming machines with production speed of 300 to 450 MH with very
high precision while under the roof structure is design using especially software namely we knock to
cat software design third up is put into NC file under sin for the production once out of the machine the
sections are properly numbered stacked and transported to the construction site as a package
foundation for lightweight steel framing are essentially the same as for any form of construction
although dead weight of light will be much lower compared to conventional construction of brick
masonry and RCC hence heavy foundation may not be required the light gauge steel frame building is
about sixty percent lighter than the conventional building therefore the foundation required is light the
construction is about eighty percent faster the structure has got high and better thermal and sound
insulation and disaster resistant sequence of construction is foundation length fixing of tracks fixing of
wall panels with bracings as required fixing of roof panels decking sheet fixing of electrical and
plumbing services and finally fixing of bonding materials and finishing of roofs with insulation profiles
are assembled by trained team at the construction site in line with architectural plan special self-driven
tapping screws and fasteners are used for joining different members walls are either made fixing and
fill off type a cement fiber board confirming to is one four eight six two in combination with gypsum
board confirming to is two zero nine five part one or fixing precast concrete panels and filling with
night weight concrete mineral wool Rockville in the gap between the two panels high-density
polystyrene core plastered on both sides using wire mesh may also be used there could be other
options for in fills also depending upon the requirements with very high precision of production of the
structural section made of galvanized sheet and other components also appropriate high grade the
well-designed structure made using this system brings durability and quality in construction basically
Beshear said telega the listener said the intern raela potala Munroe problem malkor site opened a
keynote on rail are among gdb m---eleven raynathan raela so on bond arena Guatemala but le you
know problem will are amazing with pre-engineered steel sections which can be fully recycled it is
environment friendly and brings speed in construction with overall economy his steel frame buildings
can be constructed very fast you just give an example to consider that tea houses by using 30 people
they can finish it in one week per night a steel frame house the same 30 houses by 30 people it might
take two to three months for the conventional construction CPWD has also adopted this technology
and incorporated analysis of grades for LGS in Delhi schedule of rates BM TPC is striving towards
creating an enabling ecosystem to mainstream new construction technology with the help of CPWD
Bureau of Indian Standards and state governments various government departments and state
governments are also floating technology-neutral tenders to adopt these new systems it is now for the
construction fraternity especially public and private agencies to embrace these new systems for
achieving housing for all targets and building better and resilient India with more and more
construction agencies getting equipped with the manufacturing capability and developing their trained
design and construction teams the field is open for a healthy competition for the state government and
other agencies to adopt this viable technology for their projects
