Wall Street Journal Highlights Pensmore and TF for Disaster Resistant Building in Wake of Hurricane Sandy Destruction
More home builders and buyers are chasing a new kind of security: homes equipped to handle everything from hurricanes, tornados and hybrid superstorms like this week's Sandy, to man-made threats ranging from home invasion to nuclear war. Some, rebuilding in frequently storm-tossed areas, are looking to better withstand the next disaster; others are hoping to create a safeguard against any possible calamity. Fueling the rise of these often-fortresslike homes are new technologies and building materials—which builders say will ultimately be used on a more widespread basis in storm- and earthquake-threatened areas.

Construction Continues on Joplin Homes
Construction continues on the first of 18 homes in Joplin, MO. Crews are working hard to complete one home in time for the 1 year anniversary of the EF-5 tornado that whipped through the city, leaving massive destruction in its wake. The homes are being built out of TF Forming Systems' ThermoForm Insulated Concrete Forming system. The walls are made of concrete infused with Helix fibers and rebar, encased with rigid foam insulation on both sides. They have been engineered to withstand 200+ mph winds.
