IAC Stopson, Spain supplies barriers to another top Spanish airport
 Coruna airport in Spain is to have a jet blast barrier designed, manufactured and installed by IAC’s Spanish subsidiary, IAC Stopson.
This contract follows hot on the heels of others for Valencia, Zaragoza, Barcelona, Madrid and Malaga airports totalling over 1.5M Euros over the past few years. IAC Stopson has an excellent track record in the Spanish barriers market and IAC barriers undergo stringent testing at INTA – one of Spain’s most respected aerodynamics laboratories and all come supplied with full acoustic performance data.
 This latest blast barrier will be 126 metres long and 4.7 metres high. It will protect the airport service area from jet blast. Manufactured from 3-mm galvanised steel sheet, the barrier will be painted in standard aeronautical colours of snow white and red and in line will be fitted with the corresponding warning lights. It will carry 160 red LEDs and be able to withstand temperatures of -40ºC to +55ºC. IAC barriers all match the norms for airport blast barriers as laid down by the ICAO, the International Civil Aviation Organisation. (Image shows the IAC barrier at Zaragoza airport.)
Amadeo Garcés is IAC Stopson’s Project Manager: "Over the past few years we have really built up the barriers business based on a long list of satisfied customers.”
Coruna airport serves the pilgrimage City of Santiago de Compostela that receives around 2m passengers a year.
