All GFRP fences are accompanied by certifications for radio transparency, UV resistance, and freeze-thaw cycles. Thanks to the inherent durability of composite materials, maintenance is virtually zero, providing significant long-term economic advantages.
Radio transparency and breakability
Structural compatibility and electrical insulation
Resistance to extreme conditions
The following highlights illustrate the main technical and functional advantages of FibreFENCE solutions in the airport sector, fully complying with international standards for transparency and frangibility.
The critical nodes of global mobility – from airports to other strategic mobility infrastructures – require protection and security systems designed to ensure high operational standards and functional continuity. With over twenty years of experience in developing composite material solutions, FibreFENCE offers CE-certified fencing systems that meet the specific needs of every sector, ensuring:
Combining innovation, reliability, and sustainability, FibreFENCE is the ideal partner for designers and operators seeking advanced solutions for the security and protection of critical infrastructures in an ever-evolving mobility landscape.
Composite materials in GFRP (Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer) represent a technologically advanced solution for complex contexts and critical sectors, where they meet the needs for safety and durability.
| Characteristic | Steel | Wood | Thermic Plastic | F.P.R. fibrefence | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Radio Transparency | close | done_all | done_all | done_all | No interferences neither with landing aids devices (ILS) nor with Radars. |
| Frangibility | close | done_all | done_all | done_all | Strong enough to avoid intrusions, but fragile enough to reduce damages to airplanes in case of out-track landing. |
| Visual interference | check | close | done_all | done_all | Ease surrounding areas supervision, improve visual safety/security. |
| Wildlife intrusion control | close | check | check | done_all | Differential fence mesh size to prevent small wildlife intrusion without affecting on costs and visual interference. |
| Electrical insulation | close | done_all | done_all | done_all | Maximum passive safety in case of installations close to power stations or power lines. |
| Mechanical resistance | done_all | check | close | check | Resistance-to-weight ratio way better than steel. |
| Corrosion resistance | close | done_all | done_all | done_all | Suitable to face the worst environmental conditions, heavy rain, snow or moisture. |
| UV rays resistance | done_all | check | close | done_all | Strong UV resistance thanks to special additives added to matrix recipe. |
| Heat resistance | done_all | check | close | check | Very low heat dilatation and deformation even at highest environmental temperatures. |
| Initial investment | check | check | close | check | Low cost compared to other radio-transparent fencing solutions. Simple and fast installation. |
| Maintenance costs | close | close | close | done_all | Maintenance likely unnecessary, lifespan virtually unlimited. |
