Hurricane resistance
Hurricanes are the most violent atmospheric phenomena of our nature. They are a natural process of planet Earth to transport excess energy from the tropical area to colder regions.
Seen from the satellite, these giant eddies or spirals of clouds and strong winds reach speeds of more than 74 mph moving over the sea surface of the ocean until they make landfall or die over colder waters in the middle or polar latitudes.
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.
Hurricane in Mexico
Patricia (2015)
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.
Gilberto (1988)
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.
Paulina (1997)
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.
Stan (2005)
It was a category 1 hurricane, which caused flooding and landslides that caused more than 200 deaths in Veracruz.
Wilma (2005)
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.
It is important to note that these hurricanes caused widespread damage to infrastructure, homes and crops. In addition, they forced people to move.
COVINTEC construction system "Resistant to hurricanes, tornadoes and earthquakes."
Due to its three-dimensional structure, it is characterized as a highly structurally resistant system.
Having the following works as experience:
Hurricane Wilma:
Wilma, the titan of October 2005, holds the title of the most intense hurricane recorded in the Atlantic, with winds of 295 km/h .It wreaked havoc on the Yucatan Peninsula, leaving a trail of significant material damage in its wake.
The best proof we have of Covintec resisting hurricanes is documented in this video, with no less than a thousand rooms, built on the beach more than 15 years ago and which withstood the impact of Hurricane Wilma, a category E hurricane, during its construction. impact very similar to what was experienced with Otis in Acapulco. Don't stop watching it.
Hurricane Otis:
Otis remained a tropical storm with sustained winds of 100 kilometers (65 miles) per hour and was about 335 kilometers (210 miles) south-southeast of Acapulco. Otis experienced rapid intensification, reaching maximum wind speeds of 165 mph (270 km/h) and making landfall at that maximum power.
On October 22, 2023, Hurricane OTIS made landfall, rated category number 5, which left a lot of devastation in Acapulco, but one of the constructions that were carried out with Covintec is this CFE building which I supported.

Tornadoes
In Texas there was an accident 20 years ago with a tornado where you can see the devastation of what it caused, but on the other hand, a house built with Covintec was unharmed even though the house was built 25 years ago.
