Importance of Reliable Infrastructure Products: A Spotlight on Drainage Solutions and Access Covers
Ensuring Safety and Operational Continuity at Critical Infrastructure Sites
In recent news, an unfortunate incident at Hamad International Airport in Doha, Qatar, highlights the critical role that reliable infrastructure products play in ensuring safety and operational continuity. A Qatar Airways Boeing 787-8 (Reg: A7-BCV) experienced significant damage when the aircraft’s right main landing gear fell into a drainage hole on the airport ramp, causing it to come to rest on its right engine nacelle. The incident, which occurred on October 25, underscores the importance of high-quality drainage and access covers in supporting the safe and efficient operations of critical infrastructure.
