HURRICANE
SOLUTION.
Hurricane Solution is the leading company in certified hurricane protection in Mexico. It has supplied and installed Cat 5 systems for hotels, luxury residences and commercial properties on Mexico's coast since 2008. It is the only company in Mexico with a Level E (ASTM E1996) system.
WHAT IS HURRICANE SOLUTION?
Hurricane Solution operates under American Development Group (ADG), founded in 2005, and is the group's brand specialized in hurricane protection, active in Mexico since 2008. It supplies and installs certified hurricane and rain protection systems for coastal properties in Mexico.
Its systems are manufactured in the United States with exclusive patents and installed by specialized technicians in Mexico. The company is the only member of the International Hurricane Protection Association (IHPA) in Mexico, and the only provider in Mexico with a Level E (ASTM E1996) system — the most demanding certification on the market, which tests wind, rain, projectiles and barometric pressure change at the same time.
No properly engineered, installed, anchored and deployed Hurricane Solution system has ever failed during a hurricane.

WHY IS IT DIFFERENT?
- Only Level E system in Mexico — ASTM E1996 Missile Level E: a ~9-lb 2x4 at 80 ft/s, 2.56x the kinetic energy of Level D, used for essential facilities in the strongest wind zones (HS-1500 assembly).
- Only IHPA member in Mexico — International Hurricane Protection Association. The Florida industry standard applied in Mexico.
- Patented anchoring system — the only one patented in Mexico. Allows installation and removal without special tools.
- Deployment by your own staff — training included. No cranes, no scaffolding, no outside specialists when the storm warning arrives.
- No properly engineered, installed, anchored and deployed Hurricane Solution system has ever failed during a hurricane. Operating since 2008.
- Recognized by insurers — Chubb, AIG and Mapfre recognize the HS-1500 systems as a certified mitigation measure that can reduce the annual premium.
