USS-PANEL construction system uses lightweight construction materials enabling savings in the cost of foundations even in low load-bearing soil conditions, due to reduction of 40% of total weight of construction compared with using traditional construction materials. The USS-PANEL system economize the use of materials and labor and offers economical option for construction of buildings that satisfies any physical and structural requirements. Due to light weight and easy handling of the USS-PANEL for in-walls or floor system is ideally suited for the construction of additional floors on top of existing multistory buildings, without over loading the structure & foundations. It is therefore possible to construct RCC additional floors on existing buildings without compromising the safety of the existing structure.

USS-PANEL is made from an EPS foam panel core sandwiched with a galvanized steel mesh for structural building, so the system does not deplete forestry products. Furthermore, the high density expanded Polystyrene (EPS) thermal insulation core used in the panels contains no ozone damaging CFCs either in the manufacturing process or in the end product. All the materials are also recyclable.
USS-PANEL users have experienced up to substantial savings in electricity and gas consumption, made possible by the requirement of smaller and more efficient HVAC / heating and air conditioning systems due to lower heating & cooling loads.
The USS-PANEL Construction System has been designed for maximum environmental comfort. The USS-PANEL structure will keep you cooler in summer and warmer in winter. The modified high density expanded Polystyrene core satisfies all thermal requirements.

There are many documented instances where structures built with the use of USS-PANEL system, have survived the severest storms and other natural disasters. The USS-PANEL system built buildings can withstand wind velocities of more than 220 mph and endure earthquakes of 0.4 g Ground Acceleration or more than 7.5 on the Richter Scale.

There are many documented instances where structures built with the use of USS-PANEL system, have survived the severest storms and other natural disasters. The USS-PANEL system built buildings can withstand wind velocities of more than 220 mph and endure earthquakes of 0.4 g Ground Acceleration or more than 7.5 on the Richter Scale.
A structure built with USS-PANEL system is non-combustible and has a minimum 1.5-hour, fire rating 3.5" panel thickness and a higher rating can easily be attained. The fire resistance increases with thicker layer of shotcrete applied on each face of the panel. Thus, structures built with USS-PANEL system are virtually fire resistant.
