Edmonton, AB - Safety and security is a top priority at Edmonton Airports and on June 14, 2019 EIA conducted an emergency response exercise at Villeneuve Airport with our regional partners in Sturgeon County. This emergency exercise served to help improve cooperation and ensure we are ready if a real emergency happens.
The training was a full-scale emergency response exercise, using the Edmonton Airport’s Mobile Aircraft Fire Trainer (MAFT) to simulate an actual crash on the airport. Sturgeon County fire crews who had conducted aircraft-specific fire training using the MAFT on June 13, tested their skills during the June 14 exercise.
Local volunteers added to the realism by simulating injured people, who had to be treated and evacuated after the fire was extinguished.
Edmonton Airports owns and operates Villeneuve Airport, a general aviation airport located northwest of the City of Edmonton. It is the primary flight-training facility for the region. Villeneuve Airport is also an alternate for Edmonton International Airport and is the only general aviation airport in the Edmonton Metropolitan Region with a NAV CANADA Air Traffic Control Tower.
Villeneuve is also the host location of the annual Edmonton Airshow www.edmontonairshow.com. Emergency Response Services are provided by Sturgeon County in cooperation with Edmonton Airports and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police.
PAVIX: Proven Winner for All Airport Concrete Infrastructure
International Chem-Crete Corporation (ICC) manufactures and sells PAVIX, a unique line of crystalline waterproofing products that penetrate into the surface of cured concrete to fill and seal pores and capillary voids, creating a long lasting protective zone within the concrete substrate.
Once concrete is treated, water is prevented from penetrating through this protective zone and causing associated damage, such as freeze-thaw cracking, reinforcing steel corrosion, chloride ion penetration, and ASR related cracking.
This white paper discusses how the PAVIX CCC100 technology works and its applications.
