Project Details
Location: Hawarden Airport
Wales, United Kingdom
Project: Beluga XL Runway Extension
Customer: Airbus UK Limited
Owner: Airbus SA
Challenges:
- Adherence to strict aesthetic guidelines
- Multi-phased project required careful coordination with main contractor
An expansion at Airbusās Broughton facility involved mitigating the effects of takeoff velocities produced by new Beluga XL aircraft. This required a new jet blast barrier to protect a public roadway. Due to the proximity to the runway, the blast fence required the incorporation of high-visibility orange and white sheets and breakaway (frangible) anchors in the event of an aircraft collision.
