What are the unique advantages of the
POWERCONCRETE™
and PowerBoard™ Building System?
 The
PowerConcrete building system and our family of products offer
advantages to all segments of the construction industry, including
the builder/developer, architects/engineers, and the end users
– the homeowner or business owner.
:
PowerConcrete™ products offer many benefits:
- Adjustable lengths and thicknesses of the panels are easily adjustable by
replacing the PowerSpacers™ to obtain the desired diminsions.
- Structures built with POWERCONCRETE™ adapt to any structural requirement
and can resist most conditions related to climate and environment.
They even offer additional protection in extreme conditions
like earthquakes, hurricanes, and flooding.
- Design flexibility allows flexible configurations, suitable for custom construction
and meeting all the client’s desires. This includes, but
isn’t limited to arches, A-frames, balconies, retaining
walls, large halls, curved walls, and more.
- POWERCONCRETE™ can be used in any climate, ranging from extreme cold
to extreme heat. It’s energy efficiency
will save up to 40 percent energy when heating or cooling.
- The insulated foam core in thermal panels creates a thermally efficient
unit.
- POWERCONCRETE™ offers a versatility that makes it suited for houses,
apartments, urban buildings, high-rise structures, and commercial
and industrial buildings.
Benefits to builders
and developers?

What
is PowerFoamCrete™?
 PowerFoamCrete™
is a cellular lightweight concrete mix together with specially
modified POWERCONCRETE™ panels and with custom manufactured
mixing foam generator and mortar pump. It produces a world
class solid partition walling system meeting international
standards on acoustics and fire ratings. PowerFoamCrete™ is
customizable from 1.000 PSI non-load bearing to 3.000 PSI
load bearing walls. The PowerFoamCrete™ System reduces construction
and labor costs compared to other conventional, internal walling
systems and improve speed and quality in all infill walling
applications. The PowerFoamCrete™ System is an incredible
solution in infill wall applications, even more cost effective
and secure than gypsum dry walling, due to fire ratings up
to 4 hours & strength of more than 1.000 PSI for an internal
non-load bearing wall. PowerFoamCrete™ wall panels and equipment
are also complimented by PowerFoamCrete™ Foam Concentrate,
the world lowest cost foam generating concentrate, also developed
and manufactured by our Group.
