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.

4. INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS The vertical posts must be embedded in the concrete considering a 500 mm depth (Fig. 1). Both the wire holder and the transverse diagonal bracing are made of C60505 profiles, shaped in order to be easily fastened around the vertical post with rivets (Fig. 2). The longitudinal bracings are made with profile type Q50505 (for 1R fence) or profile type R85253 (for 1G fence); in both cases, the profiles are shaped in order to be easily placed and fastened to the vertical post with stainless steel AISI 316 plates and rivets (Fig. 3). The 1R fence is provided with vertical posts and wire holder extension arms, both pre-drilled in order to allow the passage of the polyamide wires. The mesh is fastened to the tension wires with polyamide ties 2.5 and to the vertical post with polyamide ties 7.5, both in black color (Fig. 4). The 1G fence is provided with pre-drilled wire holder extension arms in order to allow the passage of the polyamide anti-intrusion wires. Each grating panel is fastened to the vertical post with no. 4 AISI 316 stainless steel fixing clamps and no. 2 M6x40 screws for each clamp (Fig. 5).
