It is well known that water cannot extinguish a fuel fire. This is why NFPA 409 and FM Datasheet 7-93 require low level fire protection such as fire suppression foam systems or ILDFA in hangars in which fueled aircraft are…
Safespill floors a.k.a ILDFA have a top surface designed to ensure instant drainage of any spilled liquid into the floor. This is critical for fire protection performance. However, ensuring that the men and women working on the floor have a…
Our July webinars offer a deep dive into ILDFA. Topics covered will include a detailed look at: Register here and share with anyone you think might benefit from this information! ILDFA HANGAR END USER WEBINAR SERIES TOPICS OF DISCUSSION: This…
Aluminum ramps around the ILDFA are directly anchored to the concrete slab, causing tool cart vibrations. To reduce noise, a rubber sheet known as floor muffler is installed between aluminum ramps and concrete slabs. This prevents material contact, which reduces…
ILDFA’s original anti-slip ribs on the floor could cause hard-wheeled equipment carts to vibrate. The anti-slip rib is removed to create a smoother surface; however, to ensure anti-slip resistance, the area where the rib was is now shot-blasted. Listening to…
With our improved FOD screen, washers as small as No. 5 or M4 won’t be able to fall through the slots. We prioritize end-user feedback, and it is the driving force behind ILDFA’s continuous improvement. You speak; we listen. Meet…
Safespill’s ILDFA rapidly contained the fire, underscoring its critical role in safeguarding personnel and preventing the loss of valuable equipment, all while protecting the environment.
This project was the first new build construction for Safespill. All current and future ILDFA installations are benefiting from the many lessons learned during the project’s construction, and we are ultimately proud of the end result. Project details are: 36,000…
Flushing Manifold Upgrade: Scale Buildup Prevention In certain regions, scale build up over a 50 year period might require inspection and clean out of the Flushing Manifold (FM). Accessing the internal geometry of the FM is simplified with the addition…
Safespill Commissions Ildfa Installation at Naval Air Station Point Mugu The photos are of a recently commissioned ILDFA system for the US Navy at NAS Point Mugu. The US Navy requires that ILDFA be designed to offer the most liberal…
