ORLANDO, FL. - Orlando International Airport is being proactive through
education and preventative measures to curb the spread of the Zika virus
locally.
"We have been monitoring the Zika virus reports and consulting with the
Florida Department of Health in Orange County along with the Centers for
Disease Control (CDC) to develop a response program," says Phil Brown,
Executive Director of the Greater Orlando Aviation Authority. "Working in
conjunction with our community partners, we feel these steps are not only
appropriate but necessary to demonstrate our efforts at protecting our
passengers and employees."
Zika prevention plan:
* Work with the airport's on-staff biologist and wildlife management team to
monitor the mosquito population and enhance the mosquito spraying program on
airport property.
* Post health and education documents in employee areas and newsletters
throughout the airport. The goal is to increase employee awareness of
mosquito habits and how to prevent mosquito bites.
* Continue monitoring and collaborating with the state health department and
CDC to observe and remain proactive to any changes in the virus.
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.
