Blast-Safe® Jet-Blast Deflector and Perimeter Security Fencing

Blast-Safe™ was originally developed for NASA to protect a launch site control tower. Today this state-of-the-art jet-blast deflector design and safety system protects ground personnel, vehicles and airport facilities from dangerous jet-blast hazards from nearby aircraft.

Blast-Safe®’s ‘open’ structure allows jet-blast air to be safely diffused moving it up and away from the airport blast fence through the system’s double-reverse corrugated (DRC) steel fabric. The jet fence system provides added safety benefits by acting as a security fence, noise attenuation barrier and glare screen as well as providing protection from FOD airborne solid debris.

Features & Advantages

Smallest available footprint for Vertical perimeter fencing (< 24″) allowing placement in close proximity to other structures
75-80% reduction in wind speed velocity
Design flexibility provides tailored protection to meet your project specifications and prevents fod
Access doors, gates, lighting, barb wire attachments and other site-specific features are easily incorporated into the jet-blast deflector system for added safety and convenience
Angled posts allow the perimeter fence to follow tarmac irregularities, providing a significant cost savings over other systems, which must stop or overlap when faced with changing direction.
Structural integrity of the blast fence system provides perimeter security against unwanted intrusions by vehicles or pedestrians.

Design Flexibility

Blast-Safe® comes in standard heights of 8, 10, 12 and 14 feet. The length and location of the jet-blast perimeter fence is determined by project-specific operational restrictions. With a footprint of less than 24″, the jet fence can fit in “tight” locations, maximizing limited right-of-way space and Blast-Safe® design allows for the reduction in height in some areas keeping costs down while still providing maximum protection from jet-blast and FOD.

Blast-Safe® Jet-Blast Deflector and Airport Perimeter Fence is renowned throughout the aviation industry for its unique design flexibility, superior performance and utmost reliability. Each jet-blast deflector system provides the maximum protection available from jet-blast for your airport assets.
