August 6, 2007 — Alternative Construction Company, Inc. announced that it has successfully completed its scheduled product testing to gain the continued ability to sell, advertise and/or build with its advanced construction technology, the ACTech Panel, as a hurricane rated building material in Miami/Dade County, Florida, home of one of the most stringent building codes in the United States.
The tests were completed by Hurricane Engineering and Testing, Inc., located in Miami, Florida.
Alternative Construction Company, Inc. (ACC) possesses a patented construction technology called the ACTech Panel System that is used in the design and production of state of the art buildings in commercial, residential, industrial and modular building applications. Generically known as structural insulated panels (SIPs), ACC’s construction solution uses a galvanized steel “skin” SIP system to create energy efficient, stronger, safer, faster, and more economical structures than conventional wood and brick based building products.
The patented ACTech SIP system is environmentally-friendly and easier to construct with, says the company. More importantly, it possesses disaster tolerant strength and has tested stronger than conventional concrete block or wood frame construction, says ACC.
