On September 6, Typhoon "Yagi", the strongest autumn typhoon to land on the Chinese mainland since the founding of New China, hit Hainan with a strength of 17, causing 526,100 people in Hainan province and direct economic losses of more than 80 billion yuan. Only ten days later, Typhoon Bebinca made landfall in Lingang New City, Pudong, Shanghai, with a maximum wind strength of 14 near the center, becoming the strongest typhoon to make landfall in Shanghai in 75 years, and continued to exert enormous wind and precipitation intensity on the eastern coastal areas, resulting in widespread infrastructure damage and social impact. In particular, the peripheral protection system of industrial buildings, in the case of extremely high wind speed, often become the most vulnerable part, which has a huge impact on projects under construction.

Faced with the test of two successive “epic” typhoons, the Shanghai project and a food industry project in Hainan built by Wiskind were safe after the storm, and the customer specially sent a letter of praise to Wiskind’s construction quality and the excellent wind resistance performance of the product.

The weather forecast shows that the 13th typhoon "Bebinca" will land in Shanghai Pudong Lingang New City around 7:30 on September 16, Pudong launched a level I response action to protect people's lives and property safety. At the same time, the project under construction by Wiskind is also undergoing intense inspection and preparation before the typhoon. First of all, in the further design phase of the project, Wiskind carried out the wind resistance design combining the structure and the envelope system according to the load specification requirements (the design wind load in Shanghai is equivalent to a class 12 typhoon); Before the storm, according to the typhoon level warning, we reviewed again to determine that the project envelope structure system has the ultimate ability to resist the strong typhoon of category 14 beyond the design.

Secondly, all key areas that may be affected by the typhoon were investigated. Then check the connection joints of bolts and purlins of all unfinished works to ensure that they are tight; At the same time, clean up the site in time, arrange and temporarily fix the temporarily stacked materials.

After the typhoon, the project manager of Wiskind, who was required to withdraw, rushed to the project site as soon as possible. Thanks to Wiskind’s excellent product performance and wind resistance design, excellent construction quality and emergency protection measures before typhoons, the enclosure system is intact and not damaged by typhoons.

Wiskind’s continuous research and development and progress in the metal enclosure system, through the verification of this typhoon, to maintain the safety of the customer's industrial property, which has been highly recognized by the project party.

On September 5, the fire department came to the project to do inspection notice, requiring the project personnel to evacuate safely as soon as possible and block the project to resist the coming "Yagi" typhoon. Before the arrival of the notice, the on-site project department had paid close attention to the trend of the typhoon, and began anti-typhoon preparations, and completed key matters such as the transfer and fixing of temporary materials, debris cleaning, circuit cutting and personnel evacuation within 3 hours after receiving the notice.

Each of the four single-unit buildings built by Wiskind features a high-performance metal roofing system and four-sided toned curtain wall sandwich panels. In the design of the project, the wind resistance design was carried out in strict accordance with the local wind load requirements of Hainan in the strong typhoon area and the performance indicators of the product system. After Typhoon "Yagi", the walls and roofs were intact, showing the super-strong wind resistance performance of the mastercard metal enclosure system in the meteorological conditions of the coastal region of South China.

In recent years, extreme weather caused by global warming has become more and more common, and wind disasters caused by metal envelope systems in coastal and inland areas have become more frequent. These and other success stories of Wiskind in these two typhoons not only saved customers from property damage, but also provided valuable lessons for building envelope design and construction in similar situations in the future.

Wiskind is always committed to developing the best metal enclosure system solutions to realize the promise of "Committed to the Convenience and the Prestige of our Clients" to jointly meet the challenges of the future. Wiskind will also continue to optimize and innovate to provide strong and safe building enclosures for customers' industrial facilities and contribute to building a better future!
