"...in one of the coldest months of the winter the bill was just $42.71. That's what I call economical!"

"Metal SIP panels allowed us to shorten our critical path and to make up the lost two months caused by unexpected rock on site"

"Everything I had heard about the MSIP building system turned out to be true and I am thoroughly sold on it."

On September 6th, 2017, the Caribbean Beacon radio station on the island of Anguilla was devastated by Hurricane Irma. The eyewall wind speeds of 225mph with gusts up to 250mph was the equivalent of an F4 tornado parked on top of our station for over an hour. Our shortwave feed line was ripped from the building, the 14 foot tall feed line support poles bent like rubber. The two 120 foot shortwave antenna towers were twisted, the AM combiners were hurled 700 feet across the property and the 360 foot tall AM radio tower fell like a noodle on top of our reinforced Metal SIPs building.
From the initial reports I expected a total loss, but when I arrived 5 days later I was amazed at the actual condition of the building. The concrete roof and eves were crushed directly under where the tower fell, puncturing the roof structure in several places. The steel I-beam bent and twisted under the tremendous impact, but held in place. Most any structure subject to that wind speed and compromised with a partial collapse would have come completely apart. Your building held together and did its job wonderfully. The structure stayed intact and protected the contents including our transmitters, switchgear, safety switch and generator. We will be repairing this building and our future plans will include MSIP buildings and room additions. Thank you for engineering the strongest building I've ever encountered.
