1. USE AND CHARACTERISTICS The FRP airport fences are built with fiberglass and polyester resin gratings or mesh and profiles, they assure several advantages compared to the normal metal ones: a. b. c. d. e. f. g. h. i. j. k. l. m.

High resistance to chemical and atmospheric aggressions High mechanical/weight ratio Long-lasting Lightness Radio transparency Frangibility Resistant to high temperature and UV rays Dimensional stability High dielectric properties No maintenance Easy modular installation Customized production Compatible with the most modern anti-intrusion systems

The fences are supplied with all the necessary elements and fixing accessories.

The posts are tested to withstand wind loads corresponding to a basic wind speed of 31 m/s according to the Construction Technical Standards (Norme Tecniche per le Costruzioni NTC 2018).

For different wind load requirements or for particular needs, the fencing could be customized with other types of posts, meshes or gratings: in these cases, we suggest to contact our technical department.

MM fence type 1R is made of FRP PROFILES and MESH. The use of the FRP mesh makes this solution LIGHTER in terms of WEIGHT and easier to install than the 1G type, which is made of FRP gratings instead.

MM fence type 1G, on the other hand is made of FRP PROFILES and GRATINGS: this solution features a HIGHER STIFFNESS than the 1R type made of FRP MESH.
