Airport Terminals
Withstanding blast explosion
light airy spaces for modern airport terminals.
Perhaps the biggest single reason for installing Interactive Columns in airport terminals is their ability to withstand the intensity of blast explosion associated with terrorist attack.
This is particularly important airside of the building.
This level of fire resistance stems from the cast epoxy intumescent used for Interactive Columns being tested originally to hydrocarbon standards in the event of accidents on offshore oil rigs.
Within terminal buildings, it is clearly an advantage to maximise floor space. The slender shape of the product is ideal in this respect. In addition, the durability of the columns enables them to stand up to the 24/7 battery of suitcase trolleys, industrial cleaners/polishers—and the like.
The superior style of these columns is a significant asset in the creation of new airport terminals, while Interact’s cast epoxy intumescent sections are also the perfect way of fire protecting suspension rods and hangers, usually an integral part of the design structure.
