M.M. Srl

Since its inception in 1977, M.M. has been operating in the glass fibre reinforced polymers (GRP) industry, producing high quality gratings and structures (handrails, walkways, stairways, ladders, fences, gates, etc.). The intrinsic properties of GRP allow to create light, resistant and easy to install structures that do not require maintenance and are characterised by great versatility of use.

M.M has developed fencing systems suitable for the airports. These systems are the ideal solution to protect the sensitive areas of the airports. Fences are used to delimit airport perimeters and the radar systems in order to prevent the accidental or intentional entrance of non-authorized people and animals.

M.M. fences comply with ICAO frangibility requirements, both in terms of loads transmitted and in terms of energy absorbed in the event of a collision and ensure that there is no loss of control of the aircraft after the impact.

The airport fences of M.M. are made with risers in FRP pultruded profiles and FRP net. The risers are anchored directly into concrete foundations in the ground or fastened to them with base plates. The distance between the risers, as well as between the braces, is calculated in accordance with the acting loads (Wind, Jet-Blast,...) and the height. The height of standard solutions ranges from 1 to 2.5 m. Moreover, the fence can be fitted with arm extension for barbed wire.

The fence is supplied as kit thus can be installed quickly. There is no need to use of specific lifting equipment that may interfere with the daily take-off and landing activities.

M.M. fencing systems are:

FRANGIBILE: the possible impact does not result in loss of control of the aircraft

PERMEABLE TO ELECTROMAGNETIC WAVES: the fence does not interfere with any communication system

ELECTRICALLY-INSULATING: no grounding needed

WEATHER-RESISTANT AND UV RAY-RESISTANT: suitable to any environment

LIGHT AND EASY TO INSTALL: provided as kit, no cranes or specific equipment needed; no runway closure during installation

MAINTENANCE-FREE: durable, minimization of maintenance costs

M.M.’s mission is to reach customers' satisfaction by providing them with a large offer.
