\"airport<\/a>I decided to answer the question ‘What are airport barricades?’ because I know the frustration that comes with a boss coming up and asking you to purchase something that you know nothing about. \u00a0First comes the Google search, which may not actually come up with any sort of definition of the product but just a picture of it. \u00a0Ok, so now you need to know what that orange and white striping is. \u00a0And is this even the right size?<\/p>\n

No need to worry, I will break down what airport barricades are for you here. \u00a0First let’s start off with the different names. \u00a0The technical name is airport barricade but it can be called airport barrier or 10 x 96 barrier or even low profile airport barricade. \u00a0The size of the barricades can be either 10″ x 96″ or 24″ x 96″. \u00a0There are some that are 8″ tall but they are less common. \u00a0The 10 x 96 is your most common barrier.<\/p>\n

Once you know the size, you will want to find out if reflective sheeting is needed. \u00a0The orange and white stripes are the reflective sheeting. \u00a0The grade of sheeting is almost always Hi Intensity, and not only do you need it for just about every project but you need it on both sides of the barricade as well.<\/p>\n

Now to move onto the lights, you are going to need red solar 360 degree airport lights. \u00a0Most are FAA approved but check with your vendor (ours are). \u00a0Also if you are getting the lights from a different source (or you are told the lights have already been purchased) make sure the lights will fit the airport barricade. \u00a0Since the lights screw in, you need to know the diameter and height of the screw-hole as well as the threading on the light.<\/p>\n

The last part is the flags. \u00a0These are not always necessary I have lots of customers purchase these barricades without the flags but some projects require them. \u00a0Do you need 1 or 2 flags per barricade? \u00a0Does the barricade have the holes for the flags? \u00a0All questions you need to find out. \u00a0A typical airport flag is 18″ x 18″ or 20″ x 20″ and is all orange. \u00a0It has a dowel (the part of the flag you hold) which is usually wood.<\/p>\n

And that’s about it. \u00a0If you stumbled upon this page and were wondering what their function is, they are usually used on airport runways that are under construction and the lights\/flags\/reflective sheeting help delineate the runway so airplanes can see where the runway is at all times.<\/p>\n
