Features & Benefits of BlastWall

Background

The Invisible BlastWall was originally conceived to facilitate runway extensions at airports with property constraints.

In 1998, the Greater Toronto Airports Authority (GTAA) at Pearson International Airport needed to extend one of its runways. It was determined that, due to space restrictions, the localizer could not be moved and extending the runway would interfere with the navigational equipment.

The Invisible BlastWall was designed to provide blast protection to the localizer without interfering with ground based and in-flight electronic signal emission and to meet or exceed NAV Canada standards for airside installation. This allowed the runway to be safely extended within the space available and eliminated the expense of moving the localizer.

Major Features of BlastWall:

» Non-metallic and non-conductive to radio signals

» Withstands jet blast pressure and temperature

» Frangible in the event of collision

» Corrosion resistant and maintenance free

» Tested and approved by NAV Canada for airside installation

BlastWall is structurally lightweight and easy to install without the need for cranes, minimizing service interruption. View more photos of this recent installation at Pearson International Airport, Toronto, Canada.


Major Benefits of BlastWall:

» Shields equipment from jet blasts without affecting radio or radar signals or disrupting daily airport activity

» Allows for runway extensions in areas with limited available space.

» Eliminates the cost of moving localizers and related equipment.

» Eliminates service interruption during the relocation of localizers and associated equipment.

» Structurally lightweight for prompt set-up without the need for cranes.

» No service interruption during installation.

» Cost effective protection for roadways, parking lots, public walkways, etc.
