The present anti-ballistic shelter is a reinforced unit configured to comply with both ISO standards for size and weight, and with the U.S. Department of State Certification Standard for Forced Entry and Ballistic Resistance of Structural Systems. Each end and side wall of the unit is reinforced with wall studs that penetrate the unit's structural framework. Even though these wail studs are welded into place, penetration of the wall studs into the framework ensures acceptable blast, ballistic, and forced entry resistance even if the welds are flawed.

A window wall system includes a sill receptor secured to an upper surface of a first floor slab, the sill receptor providing a base and an upright member extending from the base, a head receptor secured to a bottom surface of a second floor slab vertically offset from the first floor slab, and a glazing unit providing a sill, a head, and one or more panels extending between the sill and the head. A first hook defined by the sill is engageable with the upright member. When the upright member is received by the hook, the glazing unit is pivotable about the upright member toward a vertical orientation. A second hook is defined by the sill and receivable within a groove defined in the sill receptor when the glazing unit reaches the vertical orientation.

A fast, flexible, and affordable structural building solution is disclosed. Current construction methodologies are prohibitively costly, slow, and wasteful. This construction method provides responsive and adaptive short to long term structural solutions. A reconfigurable flat packed modular structure can be shipped, assembled, and move-in ready in a fraction of the time of standard structural solutions. This system is easy to assemble and reusable with decreased maintenance costs and utilizes standardized shipping infrastructure. The structural elements are designed to build flexible residential, commercial, and industrial spaces. Component standardization reduces construction and maintenance cost over traditional building methods. The ease of construction reduces the learning curve for the assembly process. Embedded utilities in the components further minimize construction time. The modular nature of the design system allows for rapid assembly, disassembly, and redeployment as needed. Components are specifically built to ship using standard shipping containers for optimal organization of components and transportation.

In a one aspect there is disclosed a formwork wall panel (10) having an operative inner surface (12) to face towards an inner space to be filed with building material and an opposing operative outer surface (14) having a surface finishing component (16) secured thereto. The operative inner surface (12) of the formwork wall panel (10) includes a brace coupling formation (18) operatively adapted to engage a wall panel coupling formation (20) of a brace (22) operatively extending between the formwork wall panel (10) and an opposing second formwork wall panel.

A replacement window jamb extender accommodates a frame of a replacement window of a predefined geometry within an existing depth of a jamb. The replacement window jamb extender comprises a substantially L-shaped frame and a self-adhering and self-sealing flange. The L-shaped frame is configured to be fixedly attached to a window slot on a wall, where an inner side of the L-shaped frame is configured to accommodate the frame of the replacement window within the existing depth of the jamb. The double sided adhesive tape extends from an outer side of the L-shaped frame, and the self-adhering and self-sealing flange is configured to fixedly attach the L-shaped frame on the outer panel attached on an outer side of the wall.

A rigid insert for using as an intermediate insulation component when installing a new or replacement window or door. The insert comprises an integrally formed, L-shaped section with: (i) a thin leg component designed for positioning against a long edge of the structural frame for this window or door; and (ii) a thick base component perpendicular to the thin leg component. The L-shaped section is glued to the structural frame and to adjoining sections at its mitered corners. A method for reducing thermal bridging with such inserts is also disclosed.

A kit for maintaining the compression of a glazing leg gasket extending around the entire perimeter of a receptor frame. Once the glazing unit is installed within the receptor frame, the kit includes at least one sill anchor block disposed atop the sill of the receptor for engagement with the glazing frame and at least one head retention clip operable to apply a force to the glazing frame and against the receptor frame. The at least one head retention clip is adjustable to vary the compressive force applied to the glazing leg gasket.
