Blast Fence

Blast Fence is a safety barrier typically made of metal or concrete erected near runway ends, taxiways, or engine run-up areas to divert jet blast and propeller wash upward and away from other aircraft, vehicles, buildings, or people. Large engines can produce blast velocities exceeding 300 km/h.

• Perforated metal designs redirect blast while reducing wind load on the fence
• Essential at airports where taxiways or roads are close to runway thresholds
• Protect following aircraft, vehicles, and airport personnel from dangerous jet exhaust
• Also reduce FOD (Foreign Object Debris) risk from blast-propelled objects
