Wind-load certification of floating cover elements. AWTT publishes 130+ MPH (209+ km/h) wind resistance and a 260%+ self-loading factor for the Hexprotect® AQUA hexagonal element.
Hurricane validation is wind-load testing and certification of floating cover elements against severe storm conditions. AWTT publishes 130+ MPH (209+ km/h) wind resistance for the Hexprotect AQUA hexagonal element — within the Saffir-Simpson Category 4 envelope — alongside a 260%+ self-loading factor (the proportional weight increase the element experiences under wind load). The published certification demonstrates that the self-ballasting design dissipates wind energy through controlled lateral motion without anchor failure. Wind certification is one of the core engineering credentials distinguishing the original patented product from imitations.
