Debido a su estructura tridimensional se caracteriza como un sistema estructural y altamente resistente.
La posición geográfica de México lo convierte en uno de los países que llegan a sufrir terremotos y huracanes. Sin embargo, los más fuertes que se han registrado son:
A hurricane is part of the tropical cyclone family. When cloudiness and winds are organized in a spiral circulation around a defined center of low pressure, with thunderstorms or electrical storms concentric around that center, a tropical cyclone has formed.
It is classified as the most intense hurricane that has ever hit the country, with winds of 260 km/h, which is why it reached category 5.
Jalisco, Nayarit, Colima and Michoacán are the states that suffered the greatest damage.
The phenomenon made landfall on the Yucatán Peninsula, with winds of 298 km/h.
Nuevo León and Coahuila were the most affected states. In addition, it left 100 dead.
It is one of the most devastating hurricanes in Mexico, as it caused the death of 300 people. The category 4 phenomenon left havoc in Chiapas, Oaxaca and Guerrero.
It was a category 1 hurricane, which caused flooding and landslides that caused more than 200 deaths in Veracruz.
One of the most dangerous hurricanes in the country, it made landfall on the Yucatan Peninsula, leaving more than 100 dead.
Quintana Roo and Yucatán were the states most affected.
Due to its three-dimensional structure, it is characterized as a highly structurally resistant system. The panel buildings resisted without any damage the passage of the largest hurricanes that crossed Mexico: Hurricane Otis Acapulco 2023 (category 5) Hurricane "Dean" Yucatan Peninsula 2007 (category 5) Hurricane Odile Baja California Sur 2014 (category 4). Additionally, due to its three-dimensional structure of high-resistance steel and the concrete with which it is covered, it allowed them to resist the following earthquakes:
Wilma, el titán de octubre de 2005, ostenta el título de huracán más intenso registrado en el Atlántico, con vientos de 295 km/h. Provocó estragos en la península de Yucatán dejando a su paso una estela de daños materiales significativos.
El 22 de Octubre del año 2023 llego a tierra el huracán OTIS, calificado en la categoría numero 5, lo cual dejo muchas devastaciones en Acapulco, pero una de las construcciones que se realizaron con COVINTEC es este edificio de CFE el cual soportó.
In Texas there was an accident 20 years ago with a tornado where you can see the damage it caused, but nevertheless a house built with COVINTEC was unharmed even though the house was built 25 years ago.
La mejor prueba que tenemos de Covintec resistiendo huracanes, se encuentra documentada en este vídeo, de nada menos que mil habitaciones, construido a pie de playa hace más de 15 años y que resistió durante su construcción el impacto del huracán Wilma un huracán de categoría e impacto muy similares a lo que se vivió con Otis en Acapulco.
