FSE Provides Expert PEMB Erection for Sports Complexes
PEMB’s – An Ideal Choice for Athletic Facilities
Pre-engineered metal buildings (PEMBs) are an increasingly popular choice for sports complexes because they provide a highly customizable solution that is durable and cost-effective. From basketball and pickleball to swimming and tennis, PEMBs provide the open space necessary for indoor sports venues and training centers that require adaptability for stadium seating, concessions, and locker rooms. Fire and weather-resistant, with energy efficiency built-in, PEMBs are an ideal choice for private enterprise and municipal infrastructure development at a fraction of traditional construction costs.
Why PEMB’s are the Best Choice for Sports Complexes
1. Fast, Efficient Construction
Because PEMBs are built with pre-engineered components, assembly times are faster than traditional construction. Structural steel is a durable material that is weather and fire-resistant, making it the perfect choice for facilities located in areas where extreme weather events, high winds, and snow loads are a factor.
2. Endless Customization
PEMBs provide the structural integrity needed for the large open spaces necessary to accommodate large turf fields, courts, tracks, and even bike tracks and ice-skating rinks. With endless options for expansion, PEMBs are perfect for programs with multi-year infrastructure development in mind.
3. Low Maintenance Over the Long-Term
PEMB’s feature high-performance exterior finishes that resist fading and cracking over time. Their metal roofing systems can last up to sixty years with recommended maintenance, and because the buildings are made of steel, the potential damage to the structure from termites, rodents or other pests is greatly reduced.
4. Adaptable for Multi-Use
For entities looking for a dynamic building solution, PEMBs are an ideal choice. With virtually endless configuration, PEMBs can support multiple sports under one roof. Their versatile open spaces can be quickly reconfigured for multi-purpose usage beyond sports to provide space for concerts, trade shows, community events and ceremonies, including graduations. This diversifies the manner in which the building can serve the community, making it a year-round center for activity and social connection.
