In the wake of the natural disaster in Haiti, there are worldwide efforts to help rebuild a country that is clearly at loss. In February, Wellbilt International started assisting the healing process. Wellbilt International is unique in that their products have been tested, certified and received Product Approvals by Miami-Dade (NOA) and the State of Florida (FL2981-R2) for uses in Florida’s High Velocity Hurricane Zones, and in the State of California (LA City) for lateral force resistance required for earthquakes.

In the past 45 days, there have been multiple efforts to assist the Haitian government in rebuilding their infrastructure. The challenge is in efficiently evaluating the vendors and their products. Wellbilt International understands this dilemma and has placed representatives on the ground. “We have to be on site to prove our commitment and level of certification,” stated Alina Van Katwyk, President of Wellbilt International.
The need to have schools, housing, and hospitals reconstructed immediately is crucial. Wellbilts’ Sure-Board Wall Panel is a patented process, including galvanized steel, to create a structural, load bearing-lightweight, fast/easy to install, exterior or interior wall panel. The Sure-Board Wall Panel is not just your ordinary wall panel. From the research, it is the only earthquake and hurricane resistant wall panel with California and Miami-Dade approvals and certifications. Schools, Hospitals, Military Housing, Office Buildings, Hotels and Motels have already been built throughout the U.S., including Florida and California, utilizing Sure-Board technology, These projects required building permits and traditional building inspections, including those to meet the higher standards required for Florida’s ESSENTIAL buildings (hospitals, emergency management buildings, etc.).
