Protect people and property from unique fire hazards in airport terminal complexes. NFPA 415: Airport Terminal Buildings, Fueling Ramp Drainage, and Loading Walkways is the trusted resource used by engineers, designers, installers, contractors, and airport safety managers for one-stop access to requirements for:

• Fire protection of airport terminal buildings
• Fire testing and design criteria for aircraft loading walkways
• Design and maintenance of the drainage system of an aircraft fueling ramp to control the flow of fuel that might be spilled on a ramp and minimize possible danger

Changes in the 2016 NFPA 415 include:

• Updated references throughout
• Aircraft loading walkways can now incorporate transparent or translucent walls, windows, or surfaces.

Update now to follow the latest criteria for fire protection from the host of special hazards present at airport terminal buildings, such as the possibility of spilled fuel.
