Frangible Towers and Masts - AWOS
For Airports and Heliports
For Airports, Aerodromes and Heliports, GEONICA offers a complete line of frangible towers, masts, and poles for the mounting of Weather Equipment (AWOS), Instrument Landing System (ILS), Approach Lights and other special equipment.
The lattice structures, as well as the posts and other available support elements, are made of frangible material. The towers and masts are made of fibreglass composites plus a resin blend to achieve the necessary frangibility, durability, and strength to withstand high wind load as well as strong gusts.
DESCRIPTION
Towers for mounting approach lights are available in heights from 1 to 12 metres. Taller frangible towers need to be mounted on a complementary metal or concrete structure of the required height. For lighting, in addition to the towers, all standard supports, and accessories are also supplied.
