ILDFA systems for hangars: strategic containment and treatment options

In this recent white paper, Safespill addresses the variety of options available for drainage from hangars. It’s important to note that most days, ILDFA systems discharge low volumes of water from cleaning cycles or aircraft washdown. In a worst-case scenario, the ILDFA and drainage system is designed for a mix of water and hydrocarbons that rarely exceeds 1,200 GPM (4,500 LPM). There are many options for handling discharged fuel/water mixtures, and in this white paper, we dive deep into these options. The right containment setup depends on hangar operations, environmental requirements, and existing infrastructure. #Safespill #ILDFA #Drainage #Containment #HangarMaintenance #EnvironmentalCompliance #FieldDrivenDesign #FPengineering

“We are constantly pushing the boundaries to ensure EPS solutions meet the highest fire safety standards across Europe.” – Emanuela As building regulations evolve, the EPS industry continues to adapt. Fire safety is a critical aspect of compliance, especially for insulation used in façades, roofs, and floors. Emanuela highlights a shared commitment across the value chain: aligning EPS solutions with national and European safety requirements through testing, certification, and innovation.

A hair raising incident in Scotland shows just how quickly a corroded fabricated barrier can fail. When corrosion reaches a weld, failure is sudden, consequences are human! If you manage public realm assets or safety critical estates, do not wait for a near miss. Our latest article shows why modular systems outperform fabricated in harsh environments, how independent testing validates performance and compliance, and includes a simple on site checklist so you can assess risk and act now.

🚒 #Fire #Hydrant #Systems – From Paper to Practice Fire hydrants save lives—but only if they’re installed the right way. Standards like #NWC guidelines make sure every #hydrant, #trench, and #valve #chamber is built strong enough to handle emergencies. 📊 Example: If one #hydrant needs 1,000 #liters per #minute at about #16 #bar #pressure, the #pump behind it should be around 50 #HP. That’s the kind of number that shows why proper design really matters. #FireSafety #MEP #Construction #Engineering #ProjectManagement

𝗕𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘁-𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝗕𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀: 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗮𝗿𝗱𝘀 𝗚𝘂𝗶𝗱𝗲 𝗧𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗿 𝗗𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻? 💥 When it comes to designing buildings that withstand explosions, understanding the difference between blast-proof and blast-resistant construction is critical—and so is knowing the right standards. 🏢 𝗕𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘁-𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗼𝗳 𝗕𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 are designed to completely prevent structural failure under extreme blast loads, often guided by standards like API RP 752 which emphasizes robust design for high-hazard areas. 🛡️ 𝗕𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘁-𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝗕𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 focus on limiting damage and protecting occupants by absorbing blast energy. The NFPA 921 and NFPA 61 standards provide frameworks for assessing blast risk and designing structures to resist such events without catastrophic failure. #BlastProtection #API752 #NFPA #SafetyStandards #IndustrialSafety #StructuralEngineering #RiskManagement #FireProtection #BuildingResilience

Wurtec is partnering with PitSafe to bring you the latest innovations for elevator mechanic safety. PitSafe is an all-in-one unit that combines activation of the pit lighting and elevator pit stop switch simultaneously. This virtually eliminates the danger that someone will enter the pit without first taking the elevator out of service. FloodGuard monitors the presence of oil within the elevator pit. It provides an audible alarm and light indication for immediate notification of building personnel. Check out the brochures below for more info: PitSafe: https://lnkd.in/gNKgHv-5 FloodGuard: https://lnkd.in/gqsHhm6y

🚨 New Article Alert 🚨 When every second counts, fire safety isn’t optional, it’s essential.

Six waterproofing checks that protect your project from costly defects. At a recent technical training session, the message was clear: the details matter. Even with the updated AS 3740:2021 Standard and NCC 2022 Code in place, waterproofing failures remain one of the top causes of defects in brand new buildings. Why is the industry still adjusting? Many projects approved under earlier rules are only now reaching completion. On site, practices may not always reflect the latest standards, and documentation does not consistently capture the detail required. The result is that defects are still appearing in buildings handed over today. The session reinforced the issues still catching projects out: 1. #Flood testing – membranes need adequate curing time before testing. Rushing this step is still leading to failures. 2. #Showers near doorways – must be enclosed and properly stepped down to prevent water escaping. 3. #Water stops – too often missed or incorrectly placed, allowing subsurface water to migrate outside the wet area. 4. #Falls to wastes – floors must slope to drains, yet rushed screeds and unclear documentation are leading to ponding and leaks. 5. #System compatibility – primers, membranes and adhesives must be used as tested systems. Mixing products continues to create risks. 6. #Documentation – moisture testing and clear records provide the evidence of compliance if disputes arise. The takeaway is clear. These are not future reforms, they are today’s standards. But the industry is still adjusting, and non-compliance is showing up in live projects. At FutureCert, our role is to keep these details front-of-mind for our clients so their projects hand over with confidence, not costly remedial work. #FutureCert #BuildingCertification #Waterproofing #ConstructionRisk #AS3740 #NCC

The long-awaited European watermist standard EN 14972-1 was published on 23 December 2020. Fire consultants, designers and installers of watermist systems now have a standard they can use and base their work on not unlike the standard for sprinkler systems. The key difference is that watermist is performance-based, not stipulating a minimum water density required as sprinkler systems do. ‘With a European standard covering land-based applications in place, we expect a growing interest for the technology for building protection. In fact, I expect more buildings to be specified with watermist in the very near future,’ says Bettina McDowell, general manager of the International Water Mist Association (IWMA).
