Accelerated construction is possible due to easy handling, pre-assembled bolts and dense packaging. The system employs built-in wire management pathways for greater safety and reliability. It comes with a claimed industry-first 25-year warranty and has been designed with advanced seismic behavior analysis and boundary layer wind tunnel testing.
