IAC BLAST BARRIERS BOOM AT SPAIN’S LEADING AIRPORTS

The Blast Barriers business is booming for IAC’s Spanish subsidiary, IAC Stopson, with contracts won from Valencia, Zaragoza and Malaga airports totalling nearly 1M Euros.

Of the three contracts, that for Valencia Airport is the largest: for the design, manufacture and installation of a 460-metre jet blast barrier for the new international terminal there. Amadeo Garcés is IAC’s Project Manager: "The win was especially exciting as it was in the face of stiff competition. This was both internationally and from a number of local manufacturers, as well as aircraft engineers from the UTE Valencia Platform and Aeropuertos Nacionales - the Spanish airport authority".

IAC Stopson has an excellent track record in the Spanish barriers market – especially at Barcelona and Madrid airports. Secondly, IAC barriers undergo stringent testing at INTA – one of Spain’s most respected aerodynamics laboratories and all come supplied with full acoustic performance data. IAC barriers match the norms for airport blast barriers as laid down by the ICAO, the International Civil Aviation Organisation.
