Built to Last. Backed to Prove It.

Hangar fire protection systems are typically evaluated based on their effectiveness during design and commissioning. But less attention is typically paid to what it takes to keep them ready, or what a single mechanical fault can cost when it occurs at the wrong time....

Safespill Awarded Three New Hangar Projects

Across North America, military and commercial aviation teams are rethinking how they protect their hangars. Ignitable Liquid Drainage Floor Assemblies (ILDFA) have been selected for three new construction and retrofit applications across the U.S. and Canada: 25,000 sq...

Progress Update: ILDFA Installation 

We’re making great progress with the installation of Safespill’s ILDFA for a large aerospace company in Canada. The first of two hangar bays is nearly complete and the installation of the second floor is on track to start soon. We also visited Avianor Inc's Airbus...

Improved ILDFA Top Surface

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 good work experience is...

Improved Noise Reduction

Floor Muffler: Rubber sheet placed under ramps. 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....

Tool carts rattle NO MORE on ILDFA

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 end-user...

Improved FOD Screen Protection

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 Director of Projects:...
