Case Study
BEMO 305 Aluminum Panels Outlasts Two Record Breaking Typhoons
Two years after the Category 4 Typhoon Soudelor devastated the Northern Mariana Islands of Saipan and Tinian, the
Category 5 Super Typhoon Yutu slammed the islands with the highest sustained winds recorded in nearly a century. The
devastation was catastrophic.

Category 5 Super Typhoon Yutu hit the islands of Tinian and Saipan in October 2018 with the highest recorded winds since 1935. Typhoon Yutu had sustained winds of 180 mph and with reported gusts up to 242 mph, both islands were devastated. Buildings, homes and power lines were destroyed, trees were toppled and stripped of their leaves and people took refuge in fortified concrete structures. After the typhoon passed over the islands, the damage was unimaginable. Every service was severely damaged or destroyed, power, water and transportation were halted. The main transport hub, Saipan International Airport was closed due to the storm but, the Bemo USA metal roof system that covers the airport terminal again sustained virtually no damage.
These record-breaking winds came just 2 years after Super Typhoon Soudelor slammed the island on August 2, 2016, with sustained wind velocity of 156mph. The massive storm, Typhoon Soudelor stripped trees bare, flooded roads, destroyed homes and buildings and left the island without water and power. Witnesses of the typhoon tell of roofs being torn off buildings, cars toppled, power lines on the ground,
trees uprooted and broken. Utilities and essential services were crippled, the airport was closed but the BEMO 305 aluminum panels survived the high winds without a single panel being blown off.
The BEMO 305 panels installed on the airport terminal buildings were made of .050 aluminum. Bemo USA Corporation manufactured custom panels that were milled and curved on-site to assure a lasting engineered solution. Each BEMO 305 panel was mounted with BEMO Hook Clips on 14 ga. Galvanized hat bars. Each Galvanized bar was fastened through ¼" Densdeck and 2" polyisocyanurate insulation into the wood deck below.
