Salas O’Brien, together with WZMH Architects and Quasar Consulting Group, received awards for three innovative technologies as part of the 2024 BLT Built Design Awards in the category of Construction Product Design. These groundbreaking solutions are among the best in innovation, functionality, and durability.
- SPEEDSTAC – a modular construction system engineered for rapid, efficient builds using prefabricated modules.
- Intelligent Structural Panel (ISP) – combines the strength of a sandwich plate system with lot technology, creating a “smart” building panel for walls and floors.
- Timberclad – a sustainable alternative to traditional concrete panels that features Nail Laminated Timber (NLT) or Cross Laminated Timber (CLT) to reduce weight and environmental impact, while offering high insulation.
BLT Built Design Awards are an international program recognizing engineering, architecture projects and technologies from all over the world. Learn more at www.bltawards.com.
