Airfence IIs - Installation
James Witham and Kyalami airfence.
To install your barrier, simply deliver the required number of modules to the locations on your track, unwrap and then unroll them. They are easy to lift with handles fitted to both wrapper and module. The Airfence module is then inflated using a petrol driven backpack fan-blower. Each cushion has it's own inflation valve and pressure relief valves are fitted. There are five inflation points and all up it takes about 5 minutes to inflate each module.
First the front and back cushions are inflated with the module lying down. Then it's easiest to stand it up and inflate the three "separators". Once inflated, the module is simply lifted into place, fastened top and bottom to adjacent modules and tied off to the wall via the fastening points on the Airfence. Make sure the front skirt is facing outwards and presto! you have the best safety barrier available. What's more it is easily removed again for car racing, avoiding expensive damage.
Airfence is extremely durable and will give many years of invaluable service if given the basic respect an engineered safety barrier needs and deserves. There are only two basic rules in handling Airfence to make it last: don't drag it (after all it is an inflated product) and don't over inflate it (if you just keep pumping air into it sooner or later something has to give!).
Of course sometimes it does happen that an Airfence module is hit hard enough to be damaged. But it is easily repairable using adhesives and patches of material that are supplied to you when you invest in Airfence safety. We even show you how to do it when we come to first install your Airfence safety system with you. The module can be repaired time and again if required, though this is highly unlikely. Any parts needed are available and can be replaced. Airfence also offer an ongoing inspection, repair and management service.
