Green Constructions

Moonwalk is a steel construction company that ensures green and sustainable operations in the projects carried out. These sustainable and green practices in creating structures and pre-engineered buildings have equipped us to take another step towards an eco-friendly future. 

What is a green building?

A green building usually refers to how the building impacts the environment from its life cycle from construction through operation to demolition. It benefits communities by reducing the impact on the environment and human health. 

What makes a green building?

Some numerous features and characteristics go into making a building green, namely: 

  • Efficiency in terms of usage of water, energy and other resources
  • Use of renewable energy (solar panels)
  • Optimal indoor air quality
  • Usage of non-toxic, sustainable materials in construction
  • Reduction in terms of pollution 
  • Usage of optimal waste reduction measures

You must be wondering why we are going on and on about green buildings, how does a building becomes green and how exactly it affects the pre-engineered buildings industry, here are some of the benefits of practising green construction when it comes to pre-engineered buildings (PEB):

  • Steel is Recyclable

The major component or metal used in the construction of pre-engineered buildings is steel. Steel is one of the most used metals in infrastructure and construction. 

Steel is an iron alloy – meaning it is made up of a combination of metals and non-metals like carbon, tin, and iron. And like most metals, steel is highly recyclable and can be continuously recycled without causing any damage or degradation to its properties. 

Pre-engineered buildings are made with steel, ensuring that the structure is recyclable, continuously, without losing its strength. 

  • Saves Landfill Space

When opting for sustainable and eco-friendly practices, landfills are a concern. More so in the construction and infrastructure industry. However, when it comes to pre-engineered buildings, the use of steel reduces the need for landfills.

Because of its recyclable nature, recycling units process the unused steel from buildings or structures post-demolition, contributing to the production of other steel components.

Steel structures have a higher life cycle than conventional buildings, leading to a reduction in environmental hazards and reduced waste production.

  • Energy-Saver

Now when a pre-engineered building is installed and/or constructed in the right manner, it can go a long way in terms of saving energy and other expenses. What do we mean when we say installing the PEB in the ‘right’ manner?

Well, an example would be using steel doors on wooden frames to prevent air leaks – which ultimately regulates temperature, leading to reduced expenses and energy savings. 

  • Sustainable Practices

Pre-engineered buildings use steel as the primary metal, and since steel can stay on for ages and ages, it makes the practice of these fabricated structures a go-to sustainable and green choice. The entire process of creating PEBs is age-defying, and low on maintenance as well.

Conventional buildings often call for repairs and maintenance work almost every decade, and the structure of the same tends to degrade and demolish. We have taken another step towards an eco-friendly future by incorporating sustainable and green practices in the creation of structures and pre-engineered buildings.

  • Green Construction

Steel is a green building material which can very well replace conventional and concrete structures to wave the way for an environment-friendly future. All of Moonwalk’s buildings are made of steel which is a recyclable metal. 

Pre-engineered steel buildings are sustainable throughout their lifecycle, from conception to erection and post-demolition. This makes them the go-to choice for industries, emphasizing green construction.

How does Moonwalk Infraprojects Practice Sustainability?

Moonwalk Infraprojects, a member of the Indian Green Building Council, advocates for eco-friendly choices, promoting a sustainable and environmentally friendly future. Some steps that ensure our pledge towards sustainability are:

  • Usage of steel in constructing pre-engineered buildings.
  • Production of steel through energy-efficient 
  • Built keeping local temperatures and climate in check to ensure longevity.
  • Natural ventilation systems to help save electricity consumption.

Moonwalk Infraprojects helps reduce carbon footprint by limiting construction and solid waste. We reduce greenhouse gas emissions with energy-efficient methods and design buildings considering local climate and temperatures.
