Typhoon ravaged. How do we reinforce our homes?

Aug. 31, 2017

August 23, No. 13 typhoon "Tiange" landing in the coastal areas of Guangdong, which has been the strongest typhoon since this year, has caused 16 people killed by 24th. Among them, more than 6600 houses collapsed. More than 800 houses were damaged to different degrees. Mankate, as a manufacturer of domestic construction reinforcement materials, showed much concern about this natural disaster. At the same time, the most heart-struck thing is to see that our houses are vulnerable in front of the typhoon. More than 6600 houses collapsed. This is a shocking figure. As a coastal city, it has to face different degrees of typhoons. If we don’t have any consciousness to reinforce our houses, there is increase but no decrease about the next casualties.

 

Today, Mankate is here to share with you that under the special weather conditions of the southeast coast, how we choose reinforcement materials for our buildings.

 

In addition to the portable houses, our house is usually reinforced concrete structure. In the southeast coast, especially typhoon days, it is constantly rainy and has heavy moisture. If we want to strengthen the buildings, firstly the materials must be moistureproof. Besides, on some specific buildings, for example, bridges, there is the possibility of underwater operations. So the reinforcement materials should be moistureproof. So is the epoxy adhesive.

 

Mankate anchorage glue can be used in the wet situation or underwater base. During the typhoon days of the southern area, no matter the bridge reinforcement, the roadside billboards which are the most vulnerable or the acoustic panels on the elevated highways, they are all very suitable for using Mankate anchorage glue.

Similar to the situation in the above chart, it often happens in the typhoon days. So we should choose to use fast-installation and quickly-condensed anchorage glue. When we use Mankate anchorage glue 24-48 hours before the typhoon comes, it is completely enough to solidify. And it has strong anchoring force, no expansion stress and the margin space is small.

 

Let’s look at the performance of Mankate anchorage glue in underwater operations:

Typhoon is not terrible. What is terrible is that we lack of consciousness. Provided that we can prevent ahead of time, and we do the early warning and building reinforcement well. I believe that we will never see such shocking figures that more than 6600 houses collapsed, nor such sad news that 16 people were dead. Let’s raise awareness and work together to strengthen our houses so that typhoons can no longer hurt us. If you are interested in the products of Mankate, please call 400-894-5118.
