Durasteel has been installed in airports around the world in order to provide the ultimate in airport fire protection. From the installation of fire barriers in public areas to fireproof ductwork, fire protected shafts and tunnels, Durasteel is relied upon to ensure the absolute safety of the passengers and staff in airports.

Fire Protection at London Heathrow Terminal 5

Durasteel was used extensively across the recently completed £4.2billion construction of London Heathrow Terminal 5, the large-scale extension to the world's busiest international airport which provided accommodation for an additional 30 million passengers to pass through the airport every year. In total, over 100,000m² of Durasteel was installed within the airport's main terminal building, satellites, and in the connecting railway station. Insulated fire barriers, linings to service corridors and tunnels below the aprons, and providing fire and blast protection in the cavernous baggage handling areas, lift pits, workshops and plant rooms are just some of the areas within which Durasteel was specified and installed in the airport terminal's construction.
