MAGNEGLIDE® STORM SHIELDING
MagneGlide® Magnetic Support System: Storm Shielding |
Storm Shielding |
Many regions are subject to severe storms. Coastal areas are vulnerable to ocean storms such
as hurricanes, and tornadoes are a widespread problem in many locales. Wind-born debris is a
major contributor to damage from such events. In areas experiencing severe storms, movable
shields can protect vulnerable building elements such as doors and windows from wind related
damage. Such shielding needs to be sufficiently robust to be effective, and this may entail
components of considerable weight, difficult to move with conventional means. MagneGlide
can facilitate their ease of positioning before and after storm events.
MagneGlide technology is versatile and secure. Climate severity is projected to increase in the future. This will put additional demands on buildings for effective protection from the environment. The MagneGlide magnetic support technology can help to enable innovative and increasingly effective solutions to be developed and put forth to address this need. Modern Transport Systems Corp. works with architects, designers and manufacturers to provide a MagneGlide magnetic support system tailored to the needs of their clients and customers.
