First National Panel Sets New Standard in Concrete Panel System Wind Resistance

摘要

President and CEO of First National Panel Co. Ricci D. Null recently announced the findings of an independent analysis and assessment of the overall structural integrity of First National Panel's pre-cast light-weight concrete panels for interior/exterior walls used in residential and light commercial building. The results of the study state clearly that, "To date, no known residential building system has been tested or can achieve the performance levels of the First National Panel system." The study, prepared by Ron E. Turcotte, Ph.D. in engineering physics, of Fixxit Consulting Corp. states further that "homes constructed with the 'top-down' anchoring system that First National Panel employs...can withstand 200+ mph sustained winds...while the individ- ual walls can withstand 300+ mph sustained winds."
