Blast-Safe Jet-Blast Barrier System
Transpo® Blast-Safe Jet-Blast Barrier system provides positive protection for pedestrians, ground vehicles and other airport facilities that may be subjected to jet-blast hazards from nearby runways, taxiways and tarmacs. The open structure of the Blast-Safe system allows jet-blast air to be diffused safely through the system, while preventing penetration of sand, stones, or other damage-causing debris. Blast-Safe also acts as security fence, noise attenuation barrier and glare screen, providing added safety benefits.
Transpo’s Blast-Safe Jet-Blast Barrier System is renowned throughout the aviation industry for its unique design flexibility, superior performance and utmost reliability. It provides the maximum protection available from jet-blast for your airport assets.
Features & Advantages
Small Footprint installation of Blast-Safe up to 14 ft high, incorporate stand-alone post connections, which minimizes lateral space occupied by the barrier, saving valuable facility land area, and allowing placement of barriers in tight locations
Superior Jet-Blast Protection – Blast-Safe is made of double-reverse corrugated steel fabric, which safely diffuses high-velocity jet-blast streams and prevents penetration of solid debris. The result is a 75-80% reduction in wind speed velocity and dissipation of jet-blast hazards.
Modular Construction – components can be constructed on-site, or pre-assembled and quickly erected in place to minimize delays in airport operations.
Custom Designed – each Blast-Safe installation is custom designed to ensure proper height, strength, and layout for your application. Access doors for personnel and equipment, lighting and other site-specific features are easily incorporated into the system for added safety and convenience.
Design Flexibility
Blast-Safe is custom designed to fit a wide variety of site characteristics. Length, height, and strength of the system are varied depending on type, proximity, and operational conditions of adjacent aircraft. Typical Blast-Safe installations are 8,10,12, or 14 ft. high. Custom heights are also available.
