The parties signed a Letter of Intent in June of 2006 and have been working together to gain adoption of the panel technology with the government and commercial sectors of Sri Lanka. The company has a $1.9 million project with SOS Kindedorf building homes for families affected by the tsunami of 2004 as well as a project with the government agency REEL to build multistory residences for families in the urban center of Colombo. Stated Jeffrey Flannery, CEO of Axia, "Our team in Sri Lanka has made great progress in that country, and we are proud to finalize this agreement and move forward with new projects in both the government and private sectors." The Axia panel technology consists of wire trusses that are welded together around an insulation core of expanded polystyrene (Styrofoam). After put in place as wall, floor or roof, this panel is then coated with concrete. With this method, for example, a 600 square foot home can be constructed in less then two weeks. This technology can also be used for multistory buildings, commercial structures, luxury homes, apartment buildings, high rises and resorts. The resulting structure is able to withstand winds of greater than 180 kilometers per hour, is resistant to mold, mildew, insects and is highly fire resistant.
