SGS Frangible Approach light Towers, Poles and Mast

Frp Frangible Mast

SGS Frangible Approach light Towers, Poles and Mast contributes to managing Aviation Safety. Putting a piece of contribution for equipping Aviation Industry with safety-proof solutions, SGS Frangible Approach light Towers, Poles and Mast  provide support structures to be installed in the runway glide approach.

As per the importance of structures defined by design consultants, engineers, and authorities of airports along with strict compliance of rules for appropriate design, materials, and testing for structures issued by ICAO and FAA, SGS Frangible Approach light Towers, Poles and Mast fully showcases its true worth of existence by holding Wings India 2020 - an Aviation Innovation Award. With a strong intent of becoming a reliable supplier ensuring the highest safety point at an excellent value, SGS Frangible Towers has successfully tested its products and their performance for exploring full impact crash by third party inspection agency Intertek, USA as per the ICAO guidelines and FAA Advisory.

Since the most crucial factor about the support structure design is biased to specific needs of an airport taking into account its local circumstances and elements, SGS Frangible Approach light mast, Poles and Towers ensures delivery of fully international susceptible products meeting all quality standards and rules defined by regulating bodies. Due to the use of fiberglass composite for the construction of products with high resistance for wind load and aircraft blast, SGS Frangible Approach poles, Towers and Mast are transparent to electromagnetic waves and do not interfere with radio signals, thereby helping in the promotion of an uninterrupted communication system for an aircraft which further helps for its smooth landing with installed measures of safety and security.

Precisely, any approach lighting structure that intends to be frangible should withstand the static and operational/survival wind loads with a suitable factor of safety. However, when subjected to the sudden collision forces of a 3000 kg aircraft airborne and travelling in any direction at 140 km/h, it should break, distort or yield readily. Same happened with the SGS Frangible tower. The structure broke without imposing maximum force or energy. Moreover it didn’t entangle thereby achieving another ICAO requirement. Also, the light fitting and the supporting structure as a whole established frangibility with regard to cabling as it ensured that there are points of disconnection so that segmentation is not hindered thereby proving that the structure will not prevent the aircraft from maneuvering safely either in flight or on the ground. 

 

Fatal and dangerous airline accidents can occur during any phase of flight, no doubt about that but as per the available facts majority of them have taken place during two phases only, either - the arrival phase or the departure phase. Reason being, during these phases, aircrafts are close to the ground and are in a more vulnerable configuration in comparison to the other flight phases. Therefore, frangibility of Approach light Towers, Poles and Mast is a great concern for airports specifically when it comes to considering runway glide approach. With ICAO and FAA Compliance, SGS Frangible Approach mast, poles and towers contributes to managing Aviation Safety.
