Why do we build anything?

Why should one gain while another lose?

We believe in a World where each can grow.

To build as we ought to live, to earn our value.

From the building to the panel.

The answer begins with the building itself. When one panel does the work of many, less is lost to assembly, and more of what is spent stays in the building — earned by those who raise it, kept by those who own it.

Corvea designs and supplies CorPanel™, one panel system for the whole enclosure of a building, inside and out.

The home

One panel system for the whole enclosure of a building, inside and out.

The wall

Panels join edge to edge along an integrated keyway, so the wall runs continuous from one panel to the next.

The panel

Each panel face is 2′ × 7′-5⅜″, at every thickness: 2, 4, 6 or 8 inch.

The CorCell™ matrix

Where most sandwich panels have a soft foam core, CorPanel keeps a solid one through its CorCell™ matrix. Shown: CorPanel Enhanced, with fiberglass mesh beneath the face, and fiberglass strands and reinforcing bars through the matrix.

Many layers, one panel.

Where most sandwich panels have a soft foam core, CorPanel keeps a solid one through its CorCell™ matrix, while remaining significantly lighter than solid precast concrete of the same thickness. Panels join edge to edge along an integrated keyway, so the wall runs continuous from one panel to the next.

How it stands

Panels interlock edge to edge, and the enclosure runs seamlessly from one level to the next. How the panels are laid out, oriented and coursed is set by the engineer of record for each project, with its structure, elevation heights and openings.

Each panel face is 2′ × 7′-5⅜″, at every thickness: 2, 4, 6 or 8 inch.

  • Value*

* Generational and Value describe cement-based construction generally, compared with conventional stud framing. They are not a rating of any CorPanel™ variant.
The same logic carries from the home to the commercial and industrial building. Every assembly is designed by the engineer of record for its project.

01

Integrated

CorPanel brings together in one solid-core panel what conventional walls assemble from separate materials and trades.

More

Structure, finish-ready faces and interlocking edges arrive together in one piece. What conventional construction assembles on site, layer by layer and trade by trade, CorPanel brings together before it reaches the site.

The panel system →
02

Less site labor

Fewer trades, fewer materials to procure and fewer steps on site — less labor, and less chance of trades colliding on the schedule.

More

Fewer trades means fewer hand-offs, fewer deliveries and fewer points where one crew waits on another. With less to coordinate, the schedule has less room to slip.

Technology providers

Corvea technology providers build with CorPanel, train installation crews and advise project teams.

More

Technology providers are Corvea’s partners in the field. They build with CorPanel, train the crews who install it, and advise owners, builders and engineers from first drawings to finished enclosure.

STAMP
The Defining Standard

Every Envelope Is Stamped by the Engineer of Record.

On every project, the assembly is reviewed and stamped by the licensed structural engineer of record — or the authorized project engineer — at that project's details, under that engineer's own seal, to the code in force where it is built.

More

That is the standard we hold ourselves to, and it is the foundation of liability protection for the owner, the insurer, and the authority having jurisdiction. It also means the panel you specify is the panel an engineer has signed for, on your project, at your details.

Where a developer brings his own engineer, which is most projects, Corvea's engineer of record coordinates with his — from the first section through to the sealed submission.
