Bram Fischer International Airport in Bloemfontein, which caters to over 400,000 passengers annually, has recently undergone a major upgrade. As part of this transformation, COBA Africa meets the unique needs with supplying and installing high-quality mats throughout the airport’s main terminal building. This collaboration has significantly enhanced both the functionality and safety of the airport’s busy entrances.

Matting Solutions for the Airport

COBA Africa offers a variety of entrance matting systems tailored to different environments. For Bram Fischer Airport, we provided both interior and exterior mats that meets the unique needs of each area. Specifically, we chose the DM Aluminum mats for the exterior and the Trio Scraper mats for the interior.

DM Aluminum Matting Solution

The DM Aluminum matting system is available in several surface options, and for the airport, we selected the durable Woven Brush surface. This choice was made based on several key factors:

  • Durability: The mat is built to withstand heavy-duty use, making it ideal for high-traffic commercial areas like the airport.
  • Custom Made to Order: We produced the mats to the airport’s exact specifications, ensuring a perfect fit for its needs.
  • Safety Reassurance: The moulded bevelled edges reduce trip hazards and are designed to be suitable for wheeled access, further enhancing safety.

Trio Scraper Matting Solution

For the interior, the Trio Scraper mat is the ideal choice for high-volume foot traffic. Several features make this matting solution particularly well-suited for the airport environment:

  • Safety Backing: The mat features anti-slip latex, which helps prevent slips and falls, ensuring the safety of both passengers and staff.
  • Customisation: The airport can choose to add optional edging to further increase safety. Additionally, a variety of styles are available, allowing for flexibility in design to match the airport’s aesthetic.
