Approach

Criticon's approach links state-of-the-art facility designs with strategic locations to reduce the risks associated with natural and terrorist-based disasters.

Strategic Location

When evaluating potential sites for specific clientele Criticon differentiates itself from other providers by selecting each location with strict criteria.

Positioning facilities outside of the fifty-mile blast zone to reduce the risk associated with densely populated and highly targeted locations.
Maintaining a distance of more than fifty miles from nuclear power plants
Utilizing natural buffers, such as the Blue Ridge Mountains, to diminish the risks of natural disasters and nuclear fall-out
Providing not only an abundance of power that is not limited due to urban sprawl in high-growth geographies, but inexpensive power, well below the national average
Ensuring ease of access to the facility via Interstates, Major US Highways, and airports.
