Austin Is a Bustling City of Commuters and Visitors
Austin is number 31 on the list of fastest-growing cities in America. As a large, metropolitan area, Austin has an international airport and local transit services to get people around the city and the world. CapMetro services 80,000 commuters each day in busy and important hubs of the city from the Medical District to the campus for the University of Texas in Austin.
Austin-Bergstrom International Airport is the focus city for multiple airlines: Frontier Airlines, Southwest Airlines, and Via Airlines. Millions of passengers fly through Austin’s airport each year, and it’s only been getting busier.
As horrific security threats like an attack or explosion are to consider, it is a necessary consideration for the security of highly populated public centers like airports and transit stations. Bomb Blast window film can be used by city planners and transportation system stakeholders to increase safety for Austin citizens and visitors.
What is Bomb Blast Window Film?
Bomb blast window film is designed specifically to mitigate the risk of injury from glass shards by protecting glass against extreme stress or attack. The Centre for the Protection of National Infrastructure found that in a critical situation like an explosion, flying glass is the reason for 95% of all injuries that occur. When left unprotected, glass will explode into shards in the case of a bomb or explosion, creating more opportunity for damage.
Bomb blast window films are designed to be highly tear-resistant and flexible, two important attributes that help hold window glass together against destructive forces, not limited to natural disaster, hostile criminal activity, and industrial explosion. A square foot of glass surface can shatter into up to 200 sharp fragments and travel up to 40 meters per second due to the explosion. Bomb blast window films are made of specialized laminates to help glass flex so it can absorb the blast, and reduce glass shards and save and protect lives. Window films are a cost-effective preventative measure for large and busy public spaces like transit centers and airports with multiple terminals.
