Broadgate Financial has entered into a joint marketing venture with Easy Panel Construction a privately owned company established to manufacture, market, license and develop affordable, energy efficient, low cost and environmentally friendly housing solutions for the 21^st century.

Broadgate Financial in conjunction with EPC is currently working with governments, developers, distributors and joint venture partners to expand distribution globally and meet the ever-increasing demand for EPC sandwich panel construction technology.

The Product

Sandwich panel construction systems were originally developed 30 years ago to meet the need for low cost housing and over the years the product has evolved into a widely accepted, tried and tested method of building offering numerous advantages above and beyond traditional building techniques.

The EPC panel system is unique in providing a fast, economical and easy construction system for walls, housing, factories and many other applications.  It can be used in any part of the structure, load bearing or non-load bearing, including walls, floors, stairs and roofs.  The strength of the 3D system is enormous and is partially attributed to the truss wires, which are welded to connect each side of the mesh to make the panel.  The polystyrene insulation in the middle of the panel is suspended on the truss wires and becomes a continuous thermal and acoustic break when the panels are connected and the concrete is applied to each side.

The monolithic structure enables it to withstand earthquakes, hurricanes and typhoons.  Many 3D buildings throughout the world have endured hurricanes with no water penetration or damage, earthquakes with no cracking and at the same time have provided a comfortable and energy-efficient environment for residents.

The principle advantages of the EPC system include:

• High insulation factors, both sound and thermal, resulting in energy and cost savings
• Light in weight and easily erected using unskilled labour
• Strength – our constructions can withstand 7-8 Richter scale earthquakes
• Re-cycleable, eco-friendly
• Economical, considerable cost savings when compared to traditional building techniques
• Fire Retardant
• Pest and termite resistant
• Speed of construction – approximately 40% faster than traditional techniques

Easypanel Manufacturing Systems

The Easy Panel production plant and machinery is considered to be one of the best in terms of flexibility, durability, speed of production, reliability and price-point. The basic system produces panels of 1.2 metres x 2.4 metres (2.88 m sq.) at a rate of 300 panels per eight hour shift and allows not only for variations in the dimensions of the panel but also for the gauge of the pre-tensile steel, ensuring maximum cost efficiency.

Not only have climate change and the consequential natural disasters in recent years created a vast market for low cost housing, but governments across the globe and in particular third world and under developed nations, are finally waking up to the fact that they have a responsibility to provide housing and shelter for those who cannot help themselves.  Budgets in today’s financial climate are more relevant than ever before, and where nature has struck at its harshest, timing and speed of construction becomes crucial.  EPC technology can and will be the answer.

Broadgate in partnership with EPC, are confident that our technology is the future of construction.  Extensive testing throughout the world has established that it is better; we know that there are considerable cost savings, and we know the build speed is quicker.  Our production machinery ranks amongst the best in terms of reliability, technology, efficiency and affordability and our unique lease/partnership agreement with full corporate support offers the opportunity for unprecedented expansion.  The only limitation is our vision…. which knows no boundaries.
