IAC PROVIDES
NATURAL VENTILATION FOR GATWICK PASSENGERS
 Following
BAA's decision to upgrade pier work at London's Gatwick Airport, IAC of
Winchester, were contacted by the design team to assist with the new project.
Along each pier leading
out to parked aircraft are a series of nodes that act as boarding and
disembarking areas. IAC's brief was to equip each node (7 intotal) with
natural ventilation while at the same time protecting passengers from
aircraft engine noise.
To achieve this, IAC
designed inlet and outlet acoustic ventilators each equipped with LP louvres,
MS splitters and dampers. The outlet ventilator(pictured) was fabricated
off-site, as a pre-assembled module, and then craned into position on
the roof of the node.
Off-site fabrication
is also used by other contractors working for BAA and now at IAC we can
confirm that we have successfully adopted this approach with the team.
