ILDFA vs. Foam Cost Comparison Spreadsheet
To help design and estimating engineers provide their clients with accurate and complete cost assessments, Safespill has put together a cost comparison spreadsheet that highlights and line-items the true infrastructure investment requirements for both foam systems and ILDFA. The spreadsheet covers high-expansion foam and F3-grate nozzle designs, outlining…
No More Spill Kits. No More Downtime
In real-world aircraft maintenance, fuel ends up on the floor. Whether you’re purging a line, replacing a pump, or servicing an aging fuel system, some fuel discharge is inevitable. With ILDFA, the floor becomes a passive, always-ready containment system. No…
Remove the Fuel. Remove the Fire.
Every fire requires three elements: heat, oxygen, and fuel. In aircraft hangars, the fuel leg is, by definition, a liquid—i.e., jet fuel. Legacy systems focus on heat or oxygen: ILDFA is the only system designed to remove fuel from the equation. By…
From Drawings to Commissioning: The ILDFA Proven Process
A clear, step-by-step path to delivering ILDFA — the most effective, environmentally safe fire protection for your new build or retrofit hangar. This flowchart shows end-users, engineering firms, hangar operators, and other stakeholders exactly what to expect — with timeline…
200 GPM or 780 LPM – That’s all the water supply ILDFA needs
Whether the hangar is 10,000 square feet or 400,000 square feet, ILDFA operates on a 200 GPM water supply. What this means for your project Why legacy foam systems drive cost ILDFA advantages that carry through operations Visit safespill.com or…
How We Minimize Downtime: Smart Strategies for Active Hangar
Installations Every day a hangar is offline is a day of lost revenue. And yet, this is often overlooked when comparing ILDFA to legacy fire suppression systems. It’s not just about the capital expense — downtime during installation can have…
Why ILDFA Doesn’t Need Flame Detectors — And Why That Matters
Flame activated systems wait until it’s too late. Legacy fire protection systems rely on flame detectors to trigger foam discharge. But flames mean ignition has already occurred. Obstructions? Double coverage. Flame detectors require line-of-sight. That means obstacles demand redundant coverage—adding…
The Risk Assessment Loophole Undermining Aircraft Hangar Safety
We’ve published a new article titled “The Risk Assessment Loophole Undermining Aircraft Hangar Safety” by Kyle Giubbini, NFPA 409 Technical Committee Principal and Safespill’s Lead Product Engineer. This article dives deep into the misuse of risk-based assessments in aircraft hangars and their impact…
ILDFA Can Cost up to 70% Less Than a Comparable HEF System
Is ILDFA more expensive than High Expansion Foam (HEF)? The answer is no, according to anew white paper that uses real-world, third-party HEF installation data from a super bay hangar retrofit at SFO airport. With all costs factored in, a…
