Omni Block has been throughly tested through the years. The most convincing “test” is that there are 1000’s of buildings constructed with Omni Block in 29 states, Mexico, Canada and Saudi Arabia. There are commercial, residential and institutional buildings all performing as advertised.

The links below provide testing results. Each manufacturer of the block should provide current structural tests.
