This new factory was completed by Nova Buildings Vietnam early this year.

The devastating effect of tropical cyclones like Typhoon Haiyan and Damrey in this region has led steel structural engineers to design pre-engineered steel buildings with a high degree of wind resistance. Studies have shown that the junctures of walls and the edges of roofs are areas most likely to fail under extreme wind conditions. As a result, today’s pre-engineered steel designs provide reinforcement in these critical areas. Pre-engineered steel buildings, when correctly specified, can **withstand wind forces of up to 170 mph**.

The engineering, in addition to high grade steel sources and welding compliance to international code AWS D1.1, enable our pre-engineered buildings to retain a high degree of structural integrity over time. Giving you the safest possible facility built to last.
