Large supermarkets and hypermarkets are extremely high risk public spaces during an earthquake, with hundreds of shoppers inside at any time and thousands of kilograms of heavy inventory stacked high on shelves, making structural safety the number one priority for developers. EPS Cement Sandwich Panel creates a lightweight, flexible structural shell that disperses seismic energy evenly across the entire building, avoiding the catastrophic sudden wall collapse that can happen with rigid heavy masonry structures. The ultra low total weight of the building also puts far less stress on the foundation, so you can create huge open retail spans with almost no internal load bearing columns, giving shoppers a completely unobstructed layout that makes navigating the store far easier. The panels are extremely durable and impact resistant, so they can stand up to constant impacts from shopping carts, delivery trolleys and heavy restocking work without chipping or cracking. The excellent thermal insulation performance also drastically reduces the supermarket’s HVAC energy bills, which are extremely high for large open retail spaces, cutting your monthly operating costs significantly. Construction speed is another massive advantage you can erect all exterior and interior walls for a full 2000+ square meter supermarket in less than a month, letting you open for business and start generating revenue far ahead of schedule.
